Excellent real-estate attorney in the greater Chicago area!

My husband and I have worked with Mike twice already in the transactions of our properties in Chicago. Mike has represented us, both, as sellers and as buyers, which has allowed us to see his strong and well-rounded skillset as a real-estate attorney. In addition to being very professional, Mike is a...lso personable, asks good questions, and, due to his extensive experience with the real-estate market in the greater Chicago area, he is very careful on every detail of the transaction. When you hire Mike, he makes it clear that he works for you and goes well-beyond to fulfill that commitment - he has your best interest at heart and will explain in lay terms the intimidating legal language of most offers and is always there should you need advice on how to navigate less-common contract terms. There isn't a whole lot more I can say about Mike other than I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real-estate transaction in the greater Chicago area - you will not be disappointed.

If you need an experienced real estate attorney, hire Michael

we recently hired Michael for our first home purchase in Lincolnshire, IL and we cannot recommend him enough. He was knowledgeable, respectful and efficient and always on time. We had a pretty sticky situation with our first contract because the house did not appraise 2 out of 3 times but even thro...ugh that he was so helpful that we hired him again without hesitation when we found another house a month later. He will always answer every question and never miss any detail and explain everything in terms that are comprehensible for people like us who have no experience with law. We cannot recommend him enough!

Professional help to first time buyer

My wife and I would highly recommend Michael Wasserman. We hired him as our attorney for our closing. We must admit that we did not know what we will pass through, and fearing the unknown being first-time home buyers. He could not have been more patient and responsive to all of our endless questions ...and concerns. Mike had everything ready for next step and expedite the process. He was able to review the real-estate contract that was drawn up and suggest some very astute and pragmatic amendments that we only realised it when he pointed to. He expertly helped us navigate the home closing process, and really made everything clear and easy to understand for us, explaining every countless documents we needed to sign. We felt that we were very lucky having him as our attorney

First-time home buyers

Michael came highly recommended from our real estate agent and we couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help guide us thru the purchasing process for the first time. What we originally thought was going to be a cut and dry purchase turned out to be double the work after our first condo failed i...ts inspection. Michael got us out of the contract with no problems and then performed all services a second time once we found a new condo --- at no additional cost. On signing day he made sure I understood every element of the 100 or so things to which I signed my name which was much appreciated as I've had zero interaction with lawyers & law to date. Once closed and happy in our new home my wife & I were pleasantly surprised Michael donates $50 of our fee to the charity of our choice - very cool. All in all, great guy and super helpful. Hire him!

Stress-free Home Purchase

Michael made the purchase of our first home stress-free. Whenever issues arose, he remained calm, asked all the right questions, and resolved the situation. We feel that he was a very strong advocate for us, and we appreciate that he took the time to answer all of our questions and explain every step... of the process. At the closing table, he talked over every page with us so that we knew exactly what we were signing. We would recommend his services to anyone!
