Fay Ranches is the largest land brokerage in the country, representing farms, ranches, sporting properties, and other highly sought-after land assets nationwide. Fay Ranches has been providing brokerage and advisory services for the acquisition and sale of significant land assets since 1992. While not forgetting their roots as a sporting ranch company, they have expanded focus and expertise over the past couple decades to include large, productive farms and ranches for sale as well as timberland and plantations. 

Fay’s brokers possess expert insight into the diverse land assets available from coast to coast. They are passionate about finding clients their perfect, once-in-a-lifetime properties, with a focus on those that possess exemplary sporting attributes, superior investment potential, and conservation opportunities. 

Greg Fay, a trailblazer in the land investment industry, founded Fay Fly Fishing Properties in 1992, marking the inception of the first land brokerage firm in the West dedicated to recreational land and its intrinsic value. This pioneering vision has significantly influenced the evolution of the land investment sector, with recreational aspects now recognized as a quantifiable value in land investment.

Today, Fay Ranches continues to broaden and diversify investment opportunities across the country, specializing in the marketing and sale of the finest farms, ranches, timberland, plantations, vineyards, and sporting properties from coast to coast.

Fay Ranches was built on four pillars, which have guided its growth and success over the years: Family, Investment Value, Sporting Pursuits, and Conservation.  This shared commitment is the basis for the relationships they build and the quality of business we execute. 

Founder:

Greg Fay is a pioneer in the land brokerage industry. When Greg founded Fay Ranches in 1992, he was the first to assign value to the recreational amenities of large agricultural ranches. He began marketing ranches on a national and international basis to a new audience, anticipating that there would be buyers who shared his recognition of placing value on the quality of the trout fishing or hunting on a given ranch—a paradigm shift in the market. 

Before Greg’s new approach, the value of ranch land in Montana was based primarily on its agricultural production. Since 1992, Greg has transacted hundreds of millions of dollars of working farms, ranches, and sporting properties. He has successfully executed some of the most significant land sales and acquisitions in the Rocky Mountains. 

With the support of his family and the help of many wonderful people along the way, Fay Ranches has become the leading land brokerage in the United States, representing some of the finest land assets from Coast to Coast. The Realtors Land Institute recently recognized Greg as National Broker of the Year in Recreational/Working Ranch sales in 2021. Greg had the largest sales volume in this category in the country.
