ABOUT ALLEY REALTY & AUCTION
Knoxville's most trusted auctioneers
Alley Realty & Auction was formed in 1966 by the late David Alley senior. In 1979 his son, David Alley Junior, merged his auction company, Alley Realty & Auction, with his father’s realty firm and formed Alley Realty & Auction. The firm moved into land development in the early 1980s, predominantly developing and subdividing large land tracks throughout East Tennessee.
In the 1990s, Alley began developing major subdivisions (individual lots) to be sold by auction. While this method was radical to the home building industry at the time, it quickly caught on and many companies, banks, and developers began to employ Alley Realty & Auction due to their success. The firm has gone on to develop 40+ subdivisions with over 2,400 lots sold at auction.
Notable sales include: the land for Turkey Creek Town Center, the land for Willow Creek golf course, and the Candy Factory Loft condos in downtown Knoxville.
