About Our Team

Julie has been helping clients buy and sell land in the Triangle area for over 40 years. She got her start helping farmers subdivide small parcels in what was rural Wake County and is now known as "North Raleigh." Her areas of expertise include Wake, Durham, Granville, Franklin, Vance, Harnett, Nash, and Chatham counties. Julie is a farm girl from southeastern Minnesota, but has called Raleigh home for more than 40 years. She hates cold weather and never visits Minnesota in the winter! She is an active member of Rotary International and has helped them with several projects in Nicaragua, including construction of libraries and schools. When not at work, Julie values her time spent with her 7 grandchildren. A very versatile grandmother, Julie also specializes in wrestling, running, softball and basketball, tennis, ice skating, rock skipping, and frog catching! Having been referred to as "Mother Nature," "The Green Queen," "Land Momma," and so on — rumor has it that Julie has sold several times the waterfront property where God parted the Red Sea for Moses and the Israelites to cross! All kidding aside, Julie is particularly focused on helping clients find the right piece of land or the right use for their land. The details in assisting clients from soil and topography challenges, to access and zoning details, to tax and estate issues — Julie's expertise is critical when looking at all options.

I am a Raleigh native, I started real estate in New Home sales in 1984. Development of new home neighborhoods has been my passion, and that dream came true in 1998. The areas I developed in over the years included Raleigh, Holly Springs, and Morrisville. I was very proud of the beautiful communities that I was able to see through to the end and to watch the homes fill up with happy new homeowners. That is what I love about Land Development! I recently joined Julie Wright Land Company and teamed up with my wife of 33 years, Mary Ammons, making this my 40th year in Real Estate! As a team we now provide expertise in land acquisition, development and sales, new homes sales, and resales throughout the triangle and all surrounding areas. I am more the land guy, and development guy, my wife is handling all the rest.
