This is my second time working with Scott, and once again, he delivered exceptional service. I recently had him back to do an updated appraisal, and he was just as thorough, responsive, and professional as the first time. Scott makes what could be a stressful, complex process feel seamless and transparent. Repeat business is the best endorsement you can give a professional, and Scott has earned my trust completely. Thanks, Scott, for your wonderful job!

Thank you, Jianming! I'm really glad I could make the process clear and straightforward. NYC appraisals can have a lot of moving parts, so I always want to make sure my clients understand what's going on every step of the way. I appreciate the kind words and recommendation!
Thank you, Nick, for the glowing A+ review. We are thrilled you had a great experience and appreciate you sharing it. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you again.

Hugo, thank you for the kind review! I'm glad our team was able to handle your Manhattan condo appraisal quickly and professionally. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Best of luck with everything, and I'm always happy to help if you need anything down the road.
Thanks, Ori. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad I could be responsive and efficient for you. Along with residential and commercial work, I also appraise specialty properties such as storage units, and I'm always happy to help with assignments like these.
Thanks to Scott's attention to detail and vast knowledge of the real estate market I was able to get a fair appraisal on my home. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone.

Thank you! I'm glad I could help and really appreciate the kind words and recommendation!
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.

Thank you, Igor! Insurance replacement cost appraisals are something I've been doing more of lately, and your situation is a great example of why they matter, an inflated rebuild estimate can cost homeowners significantly in unnecessary premiums over time. I'm also glad my contacts in the insurance industry were able to help fact-check and confirm my findings, giving you both the appraisal expertise and some real-world industry perspective behind that conclusion. Really glad I could help, and I hope it leads to lowering your premium. I appreciate the kind words and the recommendation!
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.

Thank you, Angel! That's exactly the kind of situation where I find this work most valuable, when the report goes beyond just a number and actually helps you make a decision. I'm glad the breakdown of renovated versus as-is sales gave you the context you needed. Please reach out anytime!
Professional appraiser with strong knowledge of the Queens market. Report was accurate and delivered when promised.

Thank you, Melinda! I'm glad the report met your expectations and was delivered on time. It was a pleasure working with you, please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything in the future.
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.

Thank you so much, Greg. This kind of feedback means a lot, because getting into the weeds on comps, really looking at what makes each one different rather than just taking the numbers at face value, is exactly how I think an appraisal should be done. Glad that came through, and glad the process felt collaborative rather than like a black box. I always try to explain my reasoning as I go, since a valuation should make sense to the client, not just show up as a number at the end. Appreciate the recommendation, and I'm happy to help again anytime.
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.
Response from the owner · 2 months ago
Thank you, Brian. Long Island City properties can come with some real quirks, LIC has a lot of that, so I’m glad the challenges specific to yours didn’t slow things down or get in the way of a fair price. Appreciate you finding me through the search and taking the time to leave this. I’ll be ready whenever you need another appraisal down the road.
