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.

Block Appraisals really took the time to understand what we needed in our appraisal. Scott really took the time to generate a thorough report that covered specific comps, not just publicly available information on the internet. He delivered earlier than promised which helped us secure a great purchase price on our property.

I hired Block Appraisals to evaluate my two-bedroom co-op in Astoria before putting it on the market. The appraiser was familiar with recent sales in my building and the surrounding neighborhood which gave me confidence in the final number. The report came back within the week and my real estate attorney was satisfied with the documentation.
