Born and raised in Western Colorado, Brian Bray is a fourth-generation Bray working in his family’s real estate brokerage, which was founded by his great-grandfather, Sherman Bray, in 1946. Brian brings to the table a vast working knowledge of real estate and the trusted name that has become the premier real estate firm of Western Colorado. Working for Bray & Company since 2004, Brian began his real estate career selling residential homes, farm/ranch properties, and development ground. In 2008, he transitioned to sales and leasing of commercial and industrial product, and he became managing broker of Bray Commercial in 2016.
Previous to working in the family business, Brian owned and managed his own businesses and worked in the construction industry. He is educated in construction management and graduated from Mesa State College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
Over the years, Brian has had the opportunity to assist his clients in asset disposition/acquisition and represent tenants of large national retailers and small main street businesses. Brian also maintains a large volume of real estate listings for his sales and leasing clients. Through continued education through CCIM and industry forums, Brian is able to stay on the pulse of the existing and emerging industries.
Brian also manages Bray Business Brokerage, where he oversees a team of merger and acquisition specialists. He enjoys educating business owners in making strategic decisions to maximize the profitability of their company before selling it. He is also able to assist buyers in mitigating the risks involved in a business transaction.
Brian resides in Grand Junction with his wife and five children. When he is not working, he enjoys recreating in the high country of the Rocky Mountains. Whether it is sitting at 13,000 feet watching some bighorn sheep or calling in a large bull elk during the rut, Brian won’t miss an opportunity to be hunting the vast expanse of the Rocky Mountain country.
Sarah Glidden grew up in various parts of California before moving to the Western Slope of Colorado in high school. She began working for Brian in 2018, shortly after graduating Colorado Mesa University with a Bachelor of Business Administration. She has a Colorado broker associate real estate license and supports every aspect of the business as the Team Operations Director. She lives in Grand Junction where she enjoys family activities and volunteerism with her partner and children.
A Colorado local, River Galvin was raised in Rifle, Colorado and has lived throughout Colorado through their entire life. River began their journey with Bray Real Estate as the front desk representative for Property Management, and hungry to learn more about real estate, found a great mentor in Sarah and Brian. Given the opportunity to join their team in spring of 2025, River was excited to jump in running as the Team Operations Assistant, finding a love for commercial real estate.
Outside of work, River loves rafting the gorgeous Gunnison and Colorado that serve as Grand Junction’s namesake. They also enjoy camping and spending time in the surrounding mountains. When they can’t get to the outdoors, they love spending time playing board games with friends and, recently, took up the hobby of tinkering with mechanical keyboards.
