Serving Little Italy and Beyond

Located in the heart of Lower Manhattan, Little Italy offers unique appraisal challenges that require local expertise. From the bustling restaurant district along Mulberry Street to the quieter residential blocks near Columbus Park, we understand how location impacts value in this historic neighborhood. Our appraisers regularly work throughout NoLIta, nearby Chinatown, and the greater downtown area, giving us unparalleled insight into local market dynamics.

Whether your property sits near the iconic Feast of San Gennaro route or closer to the shops of Spring Street, we factor in all the elements that make Little Italy properties special. We serve all five boroughs with particular expertise in Manhattan and Brooklyn, though we prefer to focus our efforts outside the Bronx. Our deep familiarity with New York City real estate, from Queens townhouses to Staten Island single families, ensures accurate valuations regardless of property type or location.

The Team Difference

What sets Block Appraisals apart from other NYC appraisers isn’t just our credentials, it’s our commitment to accuracy and client service. Licensed since 2007 with New York State license number 45000045910, we’ve built our reputation on delivering precise valuations that clients can depend on. Our certified residential status represents years of rigorous training and examination, with an upcoming upgrade to certified general, the highest appraisal license level available in New York.

We understand Little Italy’s unique real estate market intimately. From the converted lofts along Elizabeth Street to the historic tenements near Sara D. Roosevelt Park, we know how location, building history, and neighborhood dynamics affect property values. This local expertise combined with our extensive database of comparable sales ensures your appraisal reflects true market conditions.

Our commitment to professional development keeps us ahead of market trends and regulatory changes. While we continue working toward the prestigious MAI designation through the Appraisal Institute, we already maintain multiple professional affiliations that demonstrate our dedication to excellence. We regularly complete appraisals that are submitted to and accepted by the New York Supreme Court through our partnership with established legal offices in Brooklyn. This experience with court proceedings means we understand the documentation standards required for legal matters.
