our HISTORY

Bray & Co has built its success as the largest independent brokerage on the Western Slope of Colorado for over 75 years.

Sherman and Roxie Bray founded Bray & Co on a handshake and a promise to earn, every day, the trust of their clients. Four generations later, Bray & Co still remains a leader in real estate on the Western Slope, servicing the needs of buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, tenants and homebuilders Bray & Co has thrived through four local boom/bust cycles - uranium in the 50s, coal in the 60s, oil shale in the 80s and gas in the 2000s and vows to still push forward, no mater what may come.

Headquartered primarily in Grand Junction, Colorado, with a satellite office in Rifle, Bray & Co agents are experts working in Mesa, Garfield, Delta and Montrose counties. With 70+ agents strong with backup support of 50+ employees, Bray & Co operates: Residential and Commercial Brokerage, Real Estate Development, Property Management and Maintenance and Construction services.

In addition to being a leader in the respective areas of business, Bray & Co is very involved in their community and industry.

WE ARE COMMUNITY

local SUPPORT

For over 75 years, Bray & Co has been committed to giving back to the local community – through volunteering and financial support of many different nonprofit organizations.

The Bray Cares Foundation was created to help serve housing-related needs on the Western Slope with grant opportunities, such as:

Providing emergency shelter and/or rent assistance

Offering affordable housing and housing for people living with special needs

Providing services to help seniors stay in their homes

Assisting veterans with housing needs

"Over the years, our company has contributed to a variety of organizations here in the community We think it is time to focus our efforts a little more and increase both our funding and our leadership in the area of housing-related needs in Mesa County," says Robert Bray, CEO.

During the COVID-19 crisis, Bray & Co launched the Caring for Our Home Community fund to enable full-service dine-in restaurants to provide healthy meals through local nonprofits. In 2020 the company raised and delivered over $60,000 to local restaurants that were hit hard by the pandemic and, in turn, they were able to serve over 8,500 meals to those in need.

Bray & Co also volunteers regularly with Habitat for Humanity and with Kids Aid, an organization providing food to children in Grand Junction.

WE ARE FOCUSED

The success of Bray & Co and its commitment to the community has enabled us to become successful and trusted. We are dedicated to honoring our reputation, while strategically investing in products and services that will better serve our clients and community.

Every quarter, we have a breakfast to review our core values and recognize those who exemplify these values through actions. Annually, we recognize three to five individuals with the Bray Way Award.

WOULDN’T YOU RATHER BE A PROBLEM SOLVER THAN A SALES PERSON?

As a problem solver, you don't have to worry about having to "sell" anyone. You become a trusted advisor instead.

Ninja Selling is a training system based on a philosophy of building relationships, listening to your customers and helping them achieve their goals It is a philosophy that rejects pushy sales tactics We believe it is better to create value for people by solving their problems. The selling part then takes care of itself. Ninja Selling is a seamless method to organize your business, client base and daily habits to achieve your real estate and personal goals.

Bray and Company is proud to be a Ninja Selling brokerage. From rookies to seasoned agents, and management to support staff, we support the Ninja Selling principles at all levels of the brokerage. Our organizational commitment gives us the framework to focus on the right activities at the right times in the right frame of mind to be successful in our business and our lives.

OUR GOAL AS A "NINJA OFFICE" IS TO ENABLE ALL OUR ASSOCIATE AGENTS TO:

Go from the life you have to the life you dream about

Be an “on-purpose” person instead of an “on-accident” one who burns out or never lifts off

Stop selling and start serving

Establish a mindset of gratitude and abundance

Help the people who know you, like you and trust you

Have predictable results

Increase your income, AND have a life!
