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.

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 !
