Excellent, and patient!

My wife and I would highly recommend Michael Wasserman. We hired him as our attorney for our closing, and he could not have been more patient and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. As first-time home buyers, he expertly helped us navigate the home closing process, and really made ever...ything clear and easy to understand for us.

Satisfied first-time home-buyer

We were referred to Michael through our Redfin real estate agent and he eagerly responded and accepted our inquiry about working with us to purchase our first home. Not only did I feel like his rate was very reasonable, but his service was above and beyond what I had expected it to be. Perhaps like... many people, I questioned the need to have a real estate attorney as I thought it was simply a way for another individual to "get his piece of the pie", but after working with Michael, I couldn't be happier that he was involved. He counseled me on several things that I was naive to as a first time home-buyer, and he patiently answered my questions as we went through the process. He was able to review the real-estate contract that was drawn up and suggest some very astute and pragmatic amendments that I was very pleased with. At closing, he sat right next to me and explained every single document that I was signing in a manner that made sense to both me and my wife and I really felt like he was "on my team". After speaking with friends and family that have gone through this process, I feel like we were lucky to have Michael to work with and even had both our real estate agent and the seller's agent mention that our closing process was one of the most stress-free and straight-forward that they'd been a part of. If you're looking for a thorough, no non-sense attorney to guide you through the process of purchasing real-estate, I'd definitely suggest working with Michael.

First-time home buyer

As a first-time home buyer, I obviously needed a good deal of assistance when purchasing a condo, and when my lending agent made several errors, I needed more help than most clients. Michael was very informative, effective and patient. I have already recommended him to several friends.

Mr Wasserman Provides Good Service

I contacted Mr. Wasserman to help me acquire a FSBO property in Chicago. He was very attentive to my questions and to my schedule. I consistently had questions for him (in person, via email, and over the phone) and he was always knowledgeable and quick to reply. Our closing went smoothly, and I'd ...recommend Mr. Wasserman looking to buy or sell real-estate in Chicago.

Very helpful for first time buyers

Michael was recommended to us by our real estate agent and we were very happy to work with him. He was quick and responsive in communication. He explained everything clearly and made sure that we felt comfortable at the signing. Really felt like he was on our team.
