Blue Ridge Land & Auction connects rural property with the people looking for it
Matt Gallimore grew up in rural Southwest Virginia, studied business and finance at Radford University, and spent two years as a loan officer before entering real estate. That path brought together an understanding of property as both a place to live and a substantial financial decision.
Matt Gallimore grew up in rural Southwest Virginia, studied business and finance at Radford University, and spent two years as a loan officer before entering real estate. That path brought together an understanding of property as both a place to live and a substantial financial decision.
Today, Gallimore is broker, owner and auctioneer at Blue Ridge Land & Auction, a Floyd-based business working with country homes, farms, recreational land and commercial property. The company was founded in 1991 and operates as part of the United Country Real Estate network.
Its focus reflects the landscape around it. A farm, a wooded tract and a country home can attract buyers with very different plans, even when the properties are close together. The firm's work brings those property types into a business that offers both conventional real estate services and auctions.
Gallimore has more than two decades of experience in real estate and auctions. His colleagues include associate brokers, Realtors and auctioneers, as well as staff who support the office and its transactions. The company's offices in Floyd and Christiansburg connect that team with Southwest Virginia and the New River Valley.
The United Country affiliation supplies a wider marketing network for property that may interest buyers outside the immediate area. The firm's services include specialized property advertising and auction marketing, giving sellers more than one way to present a place to prospective buyers. The suitable approach depends on the property and the seller's circumstances.
For buyers, the listings span the different reasons people look toward the countryside: a home, acreage, a farm or room for recreation. The company's work is organized around those uses rather than treating every property as interchangeable.
Gallimore's background brings the story back to the region. His education and early lending work preceded a career centered on rural real estate, while the business's Floyd address keeps that work grounded in the Blue Ridge. Buyers and sellers can contact the team to discuss the property they have—or the kind of place they hope to find—and whether a traditional sale or auction fits their plans.
