Excellent real-estate attorney in the greater Chicago area!

My husband and I have worked with Mike twice already in the transactions of our properties in Chicago. Mike has represented us, both, as sellers and as buyers, which has allowed us to see his strong and well-rounded skillset as a real-estate attorney. In addition to being very professional, Mike is a...lso personable, asks good questions, and, due to his extensive experience with the real-estate market in the greater Chicago area, he is very careful on every detail of the transaction. When you hire Mike, he makes it clear that he works for you and goes well-beyond to fulfill that commitment - he has your best interest at heart and will explain in lay terms the intimidating legal language of most offers and is always there should you need advice on how to navigate less-common contract terms. There isn't a whole lot more I can say about Mike other than I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real-estate transaction in the greater Chicago area - you will not be disappointed.

Real Estate purchase-single family home

Michael was very competent and responsive in providing legal advice for the purchase of our single family home. He was always available to talk and provided summary and status documents regularly to keep us on track throughout the process. During closing he was patient and clear. He helped us get... the most out of our transaction.

Highest Recommendation

Mike Wasserman was our real estate attorney for both our recent condo sale in the city of Chicago and our purchase of a single-family home in the Western Suburbs. Mike was recommended to us by our real estate agent, and we could not be any more pleased with the recommendation. We had challenges al...ong the way with both our sale and purchase. Mike provided excellent guidance in all situations and educated us well enough to keep us calm. His advice was tremendous. He helped us not to worry about matters that were not important, but was very clear when there were things we needed to watch out for, or decisions we needed to make. There were several times along the way when I had many questions for Mike. He was always very responsive as well as very patient as he helped me to navigate through matters that I did not understand well. He was always completely reliable. Mike's competence in this field is quite obvious, but we enjoyed working with him as much due to the interpersonal relationship as much as the skill. He is professional and courteous yet has a great sense of humor that is calming and that he manages to work into the relationship while always maintaining that level of professionalism. We would recommend Mike without hesitation and will certainly look him up for similar needs in the future. No complaints and nothing but positive things to say about Mike.

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.
