Huber & Lamb Appraisal Group

What Huber & Lamb Appraisal Group does

Huber & Lamb Appraisal Group is a privately held real estate appraisal firm headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 1991 by principals James E. (Jimmy) Lamb and Murray W. Huber, who have worked together since 1987. The firm provides four core services: residential appraisal (single-family homes through large personal estates, including FHA and historic properties), commercial appraisal (retail, industrial, office, multi-family, mixed-use developments, and special-purpose properties such as hotels and manufacturing facilities), insurance valuations for government entities (counties, municipalities, utility districts, and school systems), and expert testimony for legal proceedings including tax appeals, eminent domain, bankruptcy, divorce, and insurance cases. The firm differentiates through senior principal credentials — including the MAI designation for commercial valuation held by Lamb and RM/CRP designations held by Huber — and through long-standing client relationships, notably with TML Risk Management Pool since 2001 and the Local Government Insurance Pool.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model, with pricing structured on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis because each engagement varies by property type, complexity, and scope of work. Since 2001, the firm has inspected and valued over $7 billion in property and more than 15,000 structures specifically for insurance-based government clients, indicating a meaningful recurring component in its revenue mix. Customer segments span three verticals: local government entities (served via insurance valuation contracts), commercial property owners and investors (served for mortgage, eminent domain, feasibility, tax, and investment valuation), and residential property owners (served for sales, refinancing, FHA loans, estate planning, divorce, and relocation). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: clients engage the firm through its website, phone, or email, and there is no evidence of digital marketing or programmatic customer acquisition — the model relies on professional reputation, referrals, and established relationships.

The firm operates from a single office at 5556 Franklin Pike, Suite 100 in Nashville, with service coverage spanning Middle Tennessee and the broader southeastern United States for commercial engagements. No subsidiaries, parent company, external investors, or funding history are disclosed, consistent with a two-partner professional services partnership. The firm's technology stack, AI capabilities, integrations, and operational systems are not publicly disclosed; service delivery is anchored on the credentials and experience of its certified principals and staff rather than proprietary platforms or automation tools.
