Greg Blok in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

After having completed his formal education in 2002 by receiving a concurrent Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Science degree from Lakehead University, Greg taught in private schools in England and Canada for two years, prior to moving to Ottawa in late 2003.
Upon arriving in Ottawa, Greg decided to enter the new homes sales sector of the real estate industry and worked in new home development and marketing. He quickly discovered that he was a “natural” in this kind of marketing, promotion, and sale because between 2004 and 2008, Greg was involved in over $200 Million in sales.

Seeking to mine his abilities and to increase his sales experience further, in 2008, Greg switched over into the resale real estate industry, where he quickly established himself as a top-producing agent. He soon identified his preference and penchant for working with investors and home buyers and decided to focus his energy on those areas.
Over time, due to Greg’s diligent, methodical, and business-oriented analytics, and bottom-line approach to investment decision-making, his investor clientele has steadily expanded to include numerous international investors and billionaire land development buyers.
As a result, each year, Greg has not only achieved sales numbers that made him one of the top agents on the Bennett Pros Team; but those sales numbers have been high enough for him to annually earn a ranking place in the Top 1% of Agent Sales in all of North America.

On the side, Greg, who is married and is the father of four great kids (two now in their teens) has been building his personal investment portfolio by using a variety of approaches or strategies such as fixing and flipping, new home purchases, investing in the USA and in long-term rental properties. He built his portfolio to a height of 27 doors.
Working closely with Marnie Bennett, he helped to develop the very popular and highly successful Bennett Program called the “Increase Your Wealth Through Real Estate” program.

In 2012, Greg accepted the position of Broker of Record, for the then newly formed Bennett Property Shop Realty Brokerage. He excelled in both the management and training components of that position, but he decided to return to sales full time.

Finally, in 2022, Greg qualified for entry into the “Institute for Luxury Homes Marketing Guild Elite”, which is the elite level whose membership is reserved for only the top producers in the luxury real estate market.
