I had the great pleasure of working with Mr. Block. I needed an appraisal that dated back to the early 90's. He completed the work in a timely matter and for a reasonable price. I am more than pleased. He was very responsive during the entire process. I called him for an update and he took my call even though he was on vacation. If I am in need of another appraisal, I will surely be a repeat customer.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott from Block Appraisals for a residential appraisal on Staten Island, and I am extremely satisfied with the experience. Scott demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the process. Additionally, Scott delivered the report in a timely fashion, which was greatly appreciated. His attention to detail and clear communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Scott at Block Appraisals for anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate appraiser in the Staten Island area.
I have known Scott personally and professionally for a long time, working through several appraisal processes. He is courteous, professional and has vast knowledge and experience in commercial real. Communication is excellent, making the entire process seemless every time. Highly recommened

I have been a broker with Douglas Elliman since 1993. I have met my share of appraisers --in fact I was trained by an appraiser who helped me join DE.
Scott arrived early and understood that the buyers needed an appraisal ASAP since the buyers had just won a bidding war with 2 cash buyers. I remember his requesting an early appointment and later found out he had a company holiday luncheon to attend----made an impression on me because, most people in the industry would schedule for another day before requesting an early appointment !
