About Us

For the past 35 years, Humes Realty and Appraisal Service, LLC has been a leading provider of appraisal services in Jefferson and Lewis Counties. Our company was founded in 1974 by Thomas Humes and is located in Black River, New York

At Humes Realty and Appraisal Service, LLC, our real estate appraisers strive to provide the very best real estate appraisal services in Jefferson and Lewis Counties and will also cover parts of St. Lawrence & Oswego Counties. Our appraisal services include real estate appraisers for expert witness testimony, appraisals for trusts, divorce, estates, probate, taxation issues, PMI Removal and complete residential real estate valuation.

Knowledgeable real estate appraisers know when property values will rise or decline – because they study real estate market conditions. Our real estate appraisers have both the knowledge and expertise to help you estimate the value of your home so you can:

•  Ensure that it is priced correctly to sell. An overpriced home can sit on the market for a year or more. An underpriced home may sell quickly, but for potentially far less money than it is actually worth.

•  Determine if you can remove your PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). With the data in an appraisal report rendered by certified real estate appraisers, the mortgage company will most often remove PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) with little trouble. Hiring an appraiser to find out if your property qualifies is the first step in removing PMI.

For over 35 years now, Humes Realty and Appraisal Service, LLC has been providing high quality residential real estate appraisals to homeowners, mortgage companies, realtors, banks, relocation companies, savings and loans, governmental agencies and credit unions. We know that we can help you, too.
