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.

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!

Buying condo

Michael helped me purchase a condominium in downtown Chicago. He was on time, always helpful and looked after my interests. I highly recommend him for all real estate needs.

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.
