Great Attorney

Michael was very helpful in guiding us in selling our home without a realtor. I highly recommend Michael for any real estate transaction.

Great service!

Michael provided sound advice during house buying and house selling negotiations. He also did a great job handling all the paperwork associated with both of those transactions. Highly recommended!

Chicago Condo Purchase (First-time Homebuyer)

Mr. Wasserman and his associates were very helpful throughout the home-buying process. Their knowledge, experience, and guidance was an invaluable asset to have on my side. As this was my first time buying a home, I was completely unsure of what to expect or what steps I would need to take. Mr. Was...serman was there to answer/address any and all questions and concerns (or bring important items/dates that I was completely unaware of to my knowledge) along the way! I will seek Mr. Wasserman out in future real estate transactions and would highly recommend him/his associates!

Excellent negotiator and strategic advisor

We engaged Michael in August 2017 to assist with the sale of our 1-bedroom condo apartment in downtown Chicago. Our condo was in pretty good shape, but the buyer, or possibly his attorney, was making all sorts of outlandish demands stemming from issues that the inspector noticed. They also were dem...anding an escrow holdback of some of the sale amount for a possible future special assessment, even though the HOA board had held zero discussion of any special assessment. Michael confidently advised us to hold our ground.... and eventually the buyer relented on his demands. Thanks 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.
