What Our Clients Say About Us

Based on 177 reviews
I found Scott and his team to be very thorough and honest. They told us what to expect during the appraisal process and how long it would take. The appraisal was timely and were very satisfied with their efficiency.
Our experience with Scott Block and his team at Block Appraisals was exceptional from start to finish. From our initial consultation regarding a commercial property appraisal, Scott was highly engaged, asked insightful questions to fully understand our needs, and clearly outlined the appraisal process and expectations. Recognizing the demands of our management team's schedule, Scott demonstrated outstanding flexibility by arranging for his associate, Michael, to conduct the onsite property inspection over the weekend. This level of responsiveness and accommodation reflected the team's commitment to providing excellent client service. Throughout the engagement, communication was prompt and professional. The team efficiently guided us through the required documentation, and we received a comprehensive 91 page appraisal report that was both thorough and well supported with detailed market analysis and property valuation. We were extremely pleased with the professionalism, expertise, and quality of service provided by Block Appraisals. I would confidently recommend Scott Block and his team to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented firm for commercial property appraisal services.

I hired Block Appraisals for a pre-listing appraisal on my Park Slope condo and the experience was straightforward. The appraiser examined the unit carefully and took note of the recent kitchen updates we had completed. Having an independent valuation before pricing the apartment gave us more confidence going into negotiations.
Scott is very reliable and very timely. Would recommend to anyone looking for an appraisal.

Scott performed a retrospective appraisal of a Manhattan co-op apartment for purposes of Estate valuation. His work was thorough and his demeanor professional at all times. He also provided very helpful guidance on how to obtain necessary information from the property manager and ran the information down himself when they were being obstinate. I would recommend his services to others.
