Extremely happy!

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with on my first home purchase. Not only was he informative and extremely helpful, but he was very personable and easy to work with. He was readily available for anything I needed and made this stressful process a breeze. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone l...ooking for a real estate attorney as I am more than satisfied with the services he provided me.

Responsive, Professional and Fun to work with!

We worked with Michael on our 1st home purchase and he was amazing! It is always stressful when you are making a large investment and he made it an absolute breeze. You feel like you are his only client at the time because his turnaround time is incredibly responsive and thorough. We had a very fast ...close (less than 30 days) and he was on it every step of the way. There is not a doubt in my mind that we will work with him again for our next home purchase. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again Michael!

New construction condo purchase Chicago

I worked with Michael for my recent new construction purchase.It was a delight from get go which helped me a lot since this was my first property purchase in USA! And thus i bombarded him with millions of ques and often long chats to understand the IL process. He was so thorough with the subject and ...even though some ques were unique he always had the response and patience in dealing with a new buyer like myself. The way he "owns" your case is amazing.Ex - at several instances post inspection he dealt with the seller's attorney in such a way it seemed like Michael was the buyer! Then again at closing the seller attorney was trying to push around the final punch list items they had to close.Michael asked them if they wanted to adjourn so seller could confirm acknowledgement of the final punchlist before I Closed the deal. At no stage did Michael drop the ball, due diligence etc. I will never go to anyone else besides Michael when it comes to real estate matters! And by the way...he was a reference to me. 2 of my friends had him as their attorney when they were buying and one of this friend has bought multiple properties and always had Michael represent him. That so aptly sums up what an amazing reference able attorney Michael is! Thank you Michael!

Recent condo purchase in Chicago

We recently bought a condo in Chicago and Michael was our real estate attorney. He was great! We actually did the entire transaction by email with Michael's expert help and guidance. He quickly answered all of our questions as we proceeded and made sure that all things were in good order until we clo...sed on the property. And, he also followed up with some very helpful guidance after we took ownership. If you are planning a real estate purchase in Chicago - we highly recommend Michael Wasserman.

Highly Recommend Mike

Mike was referred to us by our realtor. My wife and I purchased our first home in Evanston all while living in Dubai. Being abroad, having someone like Michael on our side was crucial in making our experience so smooth and pleasant. He was always responsive, fast and very knowledgeable. During the cl...ose, everything went so well, thanks to his expertise. We really enjoyed working with him, and will work with him again for our future purchases.
