First Timer Home Buyer - Would Highly Recommend

I purchased a condo in Chicago earlier this month as a first time home buyer. Mike was highly recommended to me, and he did not disappoint. During the process there was a major hiccup with securing a mortgage, and he was responsive to all my questions, and everything ended up working out great. It wa...s clear throughout the whole process that Mike was looking out for my best interests, and I am appreciative for all the work he did. I would recommend Mike to anyone purchasing real estate in the Chicago area!

Smooth Real State closing

Mike helped us close our condo 2 weeks ago. We had some stress as we were closing remotely and from 2 time zones away. Mike was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process, most of the communication took place over email and closing went smoothly. We did not even have to travel to Chi...cago once during the entire process. We'll certainly use Mike's services again if we ever need to conduct real state business in the Chicago area!

Michael helped me purchase a condominium in downtown Chicago. He was on time, always helpful and looked after my interests. I highly recommend him for all real estate needs.

Positive experience

Our loan officer recommended Michael to us when getting ready to purchase a condo in downtown Chicago. From my first conversation on the phone with him, I felt comfortable asking him questions as we navigated through the contract , then all the condo docs and finally the closing. He was always quick ...with his responses to email and kept us and our realtor informed all along the way. At closing he patiently explained each document we signed even though I'm sure he had done it hundreds of times before. We would use Michael again.

Professional help to first time buyer

My wife and I would highly recommend Michael Wasserman. We hired him as our attorney for our closing. We must admit that we did not know what we will pass through, and fearing the unknown being first-time home buyers. He could not have been more patient and responsive to all of our endless questions ...and concerns. Mike had everything ready for next step and expedite the process. He was able to review the real-estate contract that was drawn up and suggest some very astute and pragmatic amendments that we only realised it when he pointed to. He expertly helped us navigate the home closing process, and really made everything clear and easy to understand for us, explaining every countless documents we needed to sign. We felt that we were very lucky having him as our attorney
