Meet Greg Fay

Greg founded Fay Ranches in April 1992 in his one-bedroom apartment in Bozeman, Montana. As the Chairman of Fay Ranches, Greg has guided the company’s growth from humble beginnings to its current status as a national land brokerage. Over the years, Greg has transacted hundreds of millions of dollars of working farms, ranches, and sporting properties. He has successfully executed some of the nation’s most significant land sales and acquisitions.

The Realtors Land Institute recently named Greg the 2024 Regional Broker of the Year for Ag Land Ranch sales volume and the 2021 National Broker of the Year for Recreational/Working Ranch, recognizing his achievement of the highest land sales volume nationwide.

Greg is also the founder and President of the Fay Rural Community Foundation www.faycf.org. Greg believes strongly in giving back to the rural communities where we live, work, and play. These resilient communities suffer from a lack of educational, health, and youth services that, through FRCF, the wonderful friends and clients of Fay are helping to provide.

Greg has been a part-owner and the manager of a working ranch on the Ruby River in Madison County, Montana, since 1995. He has been intimately involved in managing and enhancing ranches, helping to create sustainable agricultural programs and irrigation systems, creating ponds and wetlands, and rehabilitating fish and wildlife habitats. These interests have provided Greg with a wealth of knowledge relative to the beneficial marriage of recreation and agricultural production, and he enjoys sharing this knowledge with his clients.

Greg graduated from the University of Colorado in 1984 with a degree in English Literature and has been a full-time real estate broker since 1986. Over his 40-year career, Greg has built a reputation for being direct and honest, with a wealth of knowledge in the land investment arena.

The youngest of seven children, Greg was raised in an entrepreneurial family with a strong work ethic, integrity, and a belief in doing something you enjoy. Greg has successfully fulfilled this family creed.
