Michael H Wasserman

I worked with Michael for my recent new construction purchase.It was a delight from get go which helped me a lot since this was my first property purchase in USA! And thus i bombarded him with millions of ques and often long chats to understand the IL process. He was so thorough with the subject and ...even though some ques were unique he always had the response and patience in dealing with a new buyer like myself. The way he "owns" your case is amazing.Ex - at several instances post inspection he dealt with the seller's attorney in such a way it seemed like Michael was the buyer! Then again at closing the seller attorney was trying to push around the final punch list items they had to close.Michael asked them if they wanted to adjourn so seller could confirm acknowledgement of the final punchlist before I Closed the deal. At no stage did Michael drop the ball, due diligence etc. I will never go to anyone else besides Michael when it comes to real estate matters! And by the way...he was a reference to me. 2 of my friends had him as their attorney when they were buying and one of this friend has bought multiple properties and always had Michael represent him. That so aptly sums up what an amazing reference able attorney Michael is! Thank you Michael!

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.

Michael represented me in a recent real estate closing and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. In the past, I've had attorneys offer me "full" services only to learn that they were looking to pad the bill with unnecessary conversations and tactics. Mike was professional throughout, he offered... an early pay discount, proactively met all of my needs and was willing to work at my pace - both before and during the closing. I felt like I was in competent and trustworthy hands the entire time and Michael will be my go-to for real estate representation in the future.

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.

We hired Michael to assist us in a property purchase at the recommendation of our real-estate agent. This was our second go-around for this type of transaction in the past 2 1/2 years. The attorney we worked with on the first purchase was nice enough as a person, but was extremely disorganized. G...iven that the transaction was the purchase of our first home, this did not inspire confidence, nor ease any of the anxiety that can sometimes be a part of making the largest purchase of your life to-date. In this case, while we were making a much smaller and simpler (but not as common) real-estate purchase, Michael displayed far more organization than our previous attorney. He also proactively provided us with information and options. While not all of this information was tailored specifically to us and was designed to benefit other clients as well, it obviously required that he generate the info up-front and work regularly to ensure that it was up to date. It surely allowed him to respond to us with useful information in a timely manner, which was of great benefit to us. That, combined with his completely professional demeanor and what seemed to be a genuine desire to help us do what was in our best interests made for a positive and relatively easy experience. Additionally, given that this was a _very_ small property purchase in terms of money, Michael did more work than I would have expected given the minor profit he stood to make for his services. Perhaps that, more so even than his personality led me to feel that he was someone I could trust not only with this transaction, but with potential future transactions as well.
