| Welcome to LACY REALTY, your source for Gouverneur and Black Lake real estate.  It has always been said that location is everything in real estate. Besides its proximity to Fort Drum, Gouverneur’s location is alluring to a diverse range of perspective buyers. Between the majestic Adirondack Mountains and the waters of the St. Lawrence River, the area is remarkable in its picturesque pastures, rolling hills, lakes and rivers, and quiet towns.
Lacy Realty exclusively deals with property in the greater Gouverneur area—including the townships of Edwards, Macomb, DeKalb, Hermon, Fowler, Diana, Antwerp, Russell, Fine and others, not to mention the Black Lake area. We are the best at what we do because we stick to what we know—our home, and those of our friends and neighbors. We aren’t over-extended, reaching into markets we're unfamiliar with, and we are not overly large, unwieldy, trying to manage swarms of competitive agents either working at cross purposes or aggressively working against one another—Lacy Realty is Bill and Penny, the owners, associate broker Alex, and agent and webmaster Glen. There are other reasons to buy or sell with us: We are the only local business to feature our own aerial photography, taken by our experienced, in-house pilot and photographer; we advertise prominently and consistently in local papers; we are a full time agency, and you can always contact one of us; and, finally, no other area agency can match our company's combined 50 years of real estate experience. Check the Local Real Estate Facts. Local closings are down only 14%, but sale prices are up. Don’t let listening to the doom and gloom on the national news stop you from listing or buying real estate. We took the time to provide you with some real and accurate local statistics taken off the St. Lawrence County REALTOR’s multiple listing service on May 21, 2009. From May 12, 2008 to May 12, 2009 134 properties closed that were listed with your local Gouverneur real estate offices. Lacy Realty Goes Green We know times are hard. The idea of buying a new home right now can be scary. Thinking about heating your home this winter is intimidating. At Lacy Realty, we understand and our sellers understand. That’s why we are working with our owners to give HOME ENERGY CREDITS. Select Sellers are offering you a credit at closing. It may be in the form of cash or free fuel in your fuel tank. Check the Printer Friendly Property List to see what is being offered. Jeff Proulx, owner of Gouverneur’s Save-A-Lot grocery store on West Main Street, knows that times are tough. So Jeff has decided to help local families. He is offering a $100 Save-A-Lot Grocery Credit to any family buying a new home from Lacy Realty. Gouverneur is a caring community. Our sellers are concerned neighbors. Lacy Realty and Save-A-Lot are compassionate businesses. Let us lend you a helping hand into your new home during these harsh times. The fact is that the 134 closings for 5/12/2008-5/12/2009 are down less than 14% from the combined sales from May 12, 2007- May 12, 2008 of 155 closings.
