I made a very wise choice in selecting Chicagoland Appraisals to appraise a single family property…read morein the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago that I was interested in buying. I had gone back and forth with the seller on price and needed an appraisal to be better informed on the property's value. I received approval from the seller to coordinate an appraisal and after some research found Chicagoland Appraisals on Yelp. I was impressed with the positive reviews I read -- particularly on the service of John -- so I called to see about setting up an appointment. I spoke with John and was further impressed. He answered all of my questions, illustrated his knowledge, and offered services at a reasonable price. I set up an appointment for the following week. John arrived on time, walked me through what he would be doing, and was thorough in his approach. Within 10 days, John provided a very detailed appraisal report. He also followed-up and spent about 20 minutes on the phone answering my questions. He was patient, professional, and polite. The positive things I read about John and Chicagoland Appraisals all turned out to be true. Truly exceptional. Thank you, John!

I have had two business encounters with Michael, and in each of them I was met with great…read moreprofessionalism, integrity and amazing attention to details. In the first encounter, thanks to Michael, I made money. I needed to sell my father's condo. Michael appraised it for me, and thanks to his guidance, I was able to sell it within the same week it was listed for a price just $2,000 less than Micheal's appraisal. In my second encounter, Michael saved me money. I was planning to buy a house and asked Michael to appraise it for me. His honest appraisal made me realize I would have paid way too much for that house had I not sought his advice. I have learned to trust Michael to be my go-to guy for any real estate-related matters.
