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.

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!

Very Satisfied Repeat Attorney/Client

Being an attorney, who doesn't specialize in real estate transactions, I asked my real estate agent to recommend an attorney to handle the closing on a condo I purchased in the Hancock building. He recommended Michael. I hired Michael to handle the transaction and he walked me through the paperwork... and the closing was uneventful, which is what I wanted. When I decided to sell a different unit in the Hancock, Michael was my first call to handle the transaction. He was excellent in informing me of what was needed, and dealing with the buyer’s attorney. Unlike many attorneys, he is excellent in communicating both what needs to be done, and current status. During his investigation on the title, he came across a mortgage from the previous owner that was not identified by my closing attorney, or addressed by seller’s attorney. He worked diligently to remove the mortgage from my title, and the closing went forward without a hitch. I wasn't able to attend the closing and he took care of the whole transaction including funds transfer. I highly recommend Michael Wasserman for all your real estate transactions. If/when I sell my current unit, I will once again give Michael a call.

Great representation and education

This was my first home purchase, and Mike had everything ready and resolved by the time of our originally-scheduled closing. I learned a lot from him. He had experience and was knowledgeable about the VA loan process, which made a big difference for me. He made the closing low-stress and I felt we...ll-represented. He was friendly, yet stern with other parties when he needed to be. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience. My Realtor was very pleased with him as well and felt that Mike's services were better than most he had seen. He was open and transparent from the beginning about his reasonable fees, and the nature and limits of his services.
