I hired Scott to conduct an appraisal for a mixed use (commercial & residential) property I own in Manhattan. Scott was personable, professional, and accommodating. Whenever I had questions he responded quickly to my calls, texts, and emails. He was very approachable and knowledgeable discussing the appraisal and process with my attorneys. Scott also helped to get the appraisal completed before a court deadline. I would recommend Block Appraisals to anyone who needs a property appraised in New York City. Thanks so much again Scott!

Mr. Scott Block is a consummate professional who helped us with a difficult legal matter regarding a mixed use commercial and residential apartment building property we own in Manhattan. We needed a detailed oriented, meticulous, accurate and thorough appraisal that is incontrovertible, and he delivered. He is approachable and always makes himself available promptly whether with a simple phone call, text message or e-mail. He will always answer my calls unless he is super busy or in the middle of an onsite inspection and even then he would pick up and say he will call back in a few. And he does. We can't thank Scott and his team enough. Thank you Scott for all of your help, advice and professionalism. We are so happy we found you. Highly recommend.

Scott did an amazing job with the appraisal for a property project in NYC. He was extremely professional, quick to respond, and very patient to explain the process and unique things involved in the appraisal. Finding someone who combines technical expertise with such high-level customer service is rare. I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a dependable, thorough appraiser!

Great experience with Scott at Block Appraisals. I hired them because my insurance company had given me what seemed like an absurdly high rebuild cost for my house. The appraisal confirmed it was about 10 times too high. Scott was punctual, easy to work with, and very helpful throughout the process. The price was reasonable and exactly in the range I expected. I would definitely recommend him.

We own a brownstone in Bed-Stuy and were going back and forth on whether to renovate or just sell as-is, so we needed a solid appraisal before committing either way. Block Appraisals sent someone out within the week. He walked through the unit, took note of the condition, and the final report broke down what similar renovated units nearby had sold for vs. where ours sat currently. That comparison was what we actually needed, not just a number, but context for whether the renovation spend would pencil out. Ended up being the thing that helped us make the call.

Had a great experience working with Scott. What I appreciated most was his attention to detail and how much time he took to understand the nuances of both the property and each of the comparable sales. He really dug into the differences between the comps rather than just looking at the headline numbers, which gave me a lot of confidence that he was getting to the most accurate and thorough valuation possible. He was also extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and a great communicator throughout the process. He took the time to explain his thinking, answer questions, and was very easy to work with. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and thorough appraiser.

I was looking for a local appraiser for my property in Long Island City and found Scott via a google search. He and his team were extremely professional and acted quickly to get my appraisal done. His price was very fair, especially given some of the challenges specific to my property. He did great work and if I need another appraisal in the future this team will be my first call.

I was settling an estate with two properties (a Manhattan apartment in Morningside Heights and a place in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn), so I needed an appraiser who could work in both boroughs and get inspections done on a schedule that worked for my attorney and accountant without slowing down the probate process. Scott from Block Appraisals handled both properties within the same week and delivered separate reports that met the IRS documentation standards my accountant had laid out ahead of time. No delays on the appraisal side, which honestly made a big difference in keeping the whole estate settlement on the timeline the court set.

I hired Scott from Block Appraisals for a studio appraisal in Stuyvesant Town. What impressed me was that he actually understood Stuy Town is its own thing, not a typical condo setup, and he didn't try to shoehorn it into a standard approach. Scheduling was easy, the report came back quickly, and the numbers made sense for what's actually happening on the East Side right now. Would use them again.

Hired Block Appraisals for a Brooklyn condo in Bay Ridge before deciding whether to sell or hold the property. The appraiser was familiar with recent closings in the building and the surrounding blocks, which showed in how the comparables were selected. The report arrived on schedule and the valuation matched what two separate brokers had estimated independently.
