We had the absolute pleasure of working with Hawk Vanek during our move from the Twin Cities to Broomfield, CO, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Hawk was incredibly accommodating, showing us any property we wanted to explore and taking the time to help us narrow down our options based on what we wanted and what was available in the market.

Throughout the process, Hawk was a calm and steady presence, especially during a particularly frustrating negotiation on our eventual purchase. His expertise, professionalism, and composed approach made a challenging situation feel manageable and even positive.

Hawk is not only great at what he does but also incredibly easy to work with. He made what could have been a stressful relocation process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor who truly cares about his clients.

Thank you, Hawk, for all your help—we’re so glad we had you by our side!

We recently worked with Hawk to purchase a house in Boulder. We were out of state buyers and new to the market. Hawk was very helpful in teaching us the market. Hawk is Boulder native so he knew exactly what we needed and where we should be. The follow up and assistance before and after the close has been great. If we buy again in Boulder Hawk is our man.

Hawk worked tirelessly to get our Newland's home sold in a fraction of the expected time on market at asking. We invested a lot in building this home for our family and after my husband got sick unexpectedly, we had to part ways. He made the process seamless and helped us close quickly. Hawk also made sure we found a home to eventually move into that had potential to be accessible for my husband's new needs. Many thanks to not only helping us handle business, but for also caring for us as people as well. Definitely recommend and have to close friends and family in need already!

I highly recommend Hawk as your realtor of choice for any Real Estate needs for yourself, family, or friends. His professional, calm demeanor kept me on track at the end of a long search, and our success is directly attributed to his genuine partnership. Hawk’s real estate expertise and client representation provided me with the security and confidence needed to navigate through this transaction. He tracked every aspect of the transaction, making recommendations without applying any pressure to me as the buyer. Hawk was the perfect match to find the home we had been searching for. Hawk, I am so grateful you introduced yourself to me at that open house.

Hawk was awesome regarding our purchase, which was somewhat complicated. He listened to our requests/needs and conveyed them to the other realtor clearly. He took the negotiations out of our hands and spent the time to make things happen on our behalf. Definitely recommend his services.

My wife and I contacted Hawk because he came well recommended by a friend of us. We needed to get things moving quickly on a deal that we didn’t want to lose. He jumped right in to do all the right moves and help us getting the property that we dreamed of. His research was very through and went above and beyond. Hawk gave us referrals and information he didn’t have to do but that gave us the piece of mind we needed to move forward with our goals. There is no going wrong working with Hawk.

We were connected with Hawk via some mutual friends and we couldn't have ended up with a better realtor for our cross country move! Over a very stressful and time-sensitive one month period of searching many neighborhoods in the Boulder area he was extremely patient and gracious as we bounced from one area to the next. While under contract on one home turned out to be a decision we regretted and ultimately pulled away from - he was ever the professional and never made us feel guilty or pressured us into making decisions that were not in our best interest. Ever professional, supportive, and extremely responsive, Hawk went over and above at every turn to find us the perfect home.

Hawk was fantastic as an agent. He helped us identify what we were looking for in Breckenridge and was able to point us right back the property we initially contacted him with interest. He provided up to date market analysis and confirmed we had our eyes set on the best property for us. He quickly confirmed the value and validated the condition and we proceeded quickly with an offer. Hawk negotiated the transaction perfectly and got us to the closing date within a couple of weeks. We would recommend his service and knowledge of the areas he includes in his wide scope of the Colorado Market. We thank him for the great service and would easily contact him again for future needs.

Hawk was a delight to work with. He was very knowledgeable of the area and rapidly changing market conditions. He worked with the buyer's agent to ensure a smooth transition and no hiccups in the sales process. He also injected humor and wit into what can be a stressful process. Thank you, Hawk!

Hawk was a great help to my husband and me during our nearly year long search for a home in the Denver area. We relocated to Denver from Wisconsin and Hawk was flexible and reliable with the many many homes we looked at. I highly recommend Hawk for any real estate needs.

I chose Hawk as my real estate advisor on the advice of a close friend. I am very pleased with how smoothly the process of buying my townhome went. Hawk knows the Boulder market well. He responded quickly to questions/concerns and I felt very comfortable with his advice and guidance. I recommend Hawk to anyone looking for a home in the Boulder area.

My husband and I made the decision to relocate from Chicago to the highly competitive market of Boulder and Hawk went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless experience. His timeliness, thoroughness, knowledge of the area, and connections in the market lended to an exceptional experience. Even when unforeseen technicalities popped up in the eleventh hour, Hawk found a way to make the impossible happen and take our transaction to the finish line. We could not recommend Hawk more and believe undoubtedly that without him, we would still be searching for our home. Above all, Hawk is a kind human and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Hawk is my favorite realtor ever. He helped us navigate an extremely competitive and crazy housing market as both buyers and sellers. He was patient when we were picky and ready when we wanted to make offers. His connections even helped us find a buyer that was flexible enough to allow us to take our time and find the right new home. It’s the second time I’ve used Hawk to buy a house and although I don’t want to move for a long time, I wouldn’t hesitate to use him a third time!!

Hawk Vanek has been our realtor for the past 12 years. He has been with us through the ups and downs in real estate. He has been wonderful and patient through our indecisiveness…which we so appreciate! He has on many occasions dropped everything at a moment notice to show us a home that just popped up on the MLS! Hawk has not only helped us buy a home but sell a home too! He provided all the tools we needed to help us sell our home at top dollar! Hawk is just a delight to work with and we feel so blessed to have him by our side on some of the BIG decisions in life!! His professionalism is top notch and after you get to know him you will want to call him your friend.

As a first-time buyer and a military veteran looking to use my VA loan, Hawk helped guide me through every step of the process during one of the most competitive periods of real estate in Denver and throughout the country. Not only was he available at a moment’s notice to view a property and/or submit an offer, but his familiarity and knowledge of Colorado real estate helped guide and inform my property search from the very beginning up until my offer was accepted. He then efficiently and effectively facilitated the transaction, enabling a worry-free closing experience. As a New England transplant who moved to Denver during the pandemic, I consider myself lucky to have had a Colorado native like Hawk in my corner!

Hawk Vanek at LIV Sotheby's International Realty helped us get our dream home. Being nervous and inexperienced first-time homebuyers, Hawk guided us through the most challenging housing market in decades. He was available to us around the clock, always got us in to see any property we were interested in (often at very short notice), and walked us through every step of the home-buying process. We highly recommend Hawk Vanek.

Hawk has now helped us buy our first townhouse, sell it (for way over ask) and recently helped us close on a SFH in Boulder for under asking! He is extremely attentive and available. He has a huge wealth of knowledge and is excellent to work with. Our hunt for a house took 6 months in this crazy market (not that Boulder isn't ever crazy) but Hawk was very helpful the whole time. He was able to have a great idea of what we were looking for and helped us find our dream home. I can't recommend Hawk highly enough. 12/10 would soar with Hawk again!

Our family made a huge move from NJ to Boulder CO this summer, and it was a very competitive housing market. Without Hawk's deep knowledge, constant support and lightning responsiveness, it would have been a rough road. He personally toured and filmed many homes for us (and even the neighborhoods) as we looked at properties from afar, which was unbelievable kind and helpful. Hawk's advice was always spot on, and he never pushed. He really cares about people finding a home that makes them happy, and he 100% delivered for us. I would recommend Hawk to anyone - he's a dream to work with!!

It was a sincere pleasure to refer Hawk Vanek to my clients when they relocated from Lancaster, PA to Boulder, CO. After reviewing his BIO and several conversations I knew Hawk was the right Agent for my clients. Hawk’s knowledge of the area; open communication; and assertive and professional approach checked off the boxes on my clients’ wish list. I am very confident in Hawk’s abilities, and I hope we get to work together in the future. Mark Mooneyhan, Lusk & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty.

We sold our house with Hawk's help. From the start, he was a comforting force. He walked through our house and helped us understand what it would take to show.

He then laid out a comprehensive plan for when we should put the house on the market, how much we should list it for and in general what we should expect (e.g., when photos would be taken). In general, I felt like he took care of most everything.

Hawk was so successful, we got offers before the house was on the market. He put forward our options and gave sound advice. He got us well over asking and then walked us through the whole selling process.

In conclusion, I could not have asked for a better experience.

If you’re looking for a realtor, please consider Hawk Vanek. We have sold 2 homes with Hawk, and it has been a privilege and honor to work with him on both. Hawk is very responsive, knowledgeable, honorable, very organized and a real pleasure to work with. He was able to negotiate a fantastic sale with rent-back. We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire process.

Hawk helped us find a house in an exceptionally tough and competitive market. He was responsive, diligent, and tenacious. He knew exactly what to say and helped us navigate through challenges. He also helped us sell a house and seamlessly took care of the whole transaction. Hawk was always positive and understanding and helped us keep the faith. In the end, his confidence helped us secure a beautiful home in a neighborhood we had only dreamed about. And he was able to secure it before it even hit the market.

As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of stress and doubts about the whole process. Hawk made me feel very comfortable every step of the way, taking my stress down to a minimum. I always felt like he and I were a team and we were always one step ahead of the "competition" so to speak; with every hurdle in the road I knew what I had to get done and ended up closing on my house early! I cannot recommend his services enough.

Hawk is absolutely incredible. He had so much patience with us while we went through the process of buying our first home, and we wouldn't have wanted to go through it with anyone else. Hawk helped us every step of the way, and it was honestly his persistence and determination that got us our house. In this hot real estate market, he was relentless and was able to get us a house in the neighborhood we wanted BEFORE it even hit the market, which meant we didn't have to compete with any other offers. Without Hawk, we would not be first-time homeowners right now, and I am so thankful we are. Thank you Hawk for everything that you did and have done for us!

Hawk Vanek worked with us as our seller agent in the summer of 2020. The sale went smoothly, we sold faster than I expected, and we were very pleased with the proceeds. Selling a family home can be stressful and emotional, and I am glad Hawk guided us calmly through the process, with outstanding professionalism and personal care. I appreciate his responsiveness, ability to listen and accommodate our wishes with patience and flexibility. He created an effective marking plan and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to connect with the right potential buyers, manage showings and negotiate the sale. He managed all paperwork promptly and efficiently from the start to the smooth closing. THANK YOU Hawk!

Hawk Vanek made it possible for us to buy a property 1000 miles from our home, a property which we have yet to see in person.

For many years we have received listings by email from two other agents, but we had never found a home that met our needs. The agent who sent us an email about this listing was not willing to show it when our daughter called him. Our daughter and son-in-law, who have bought and sold property with Hawk’s help, called Hawk. He arranged a showing and met them at the property within the hour. In this age of COVID, with the help of FaceTime and a virtual 3D tour, we decided to make an offer.

Hawk gently guided us, without ever being pushy. He gave us options, and his opinion when asked, but we felt totally free to make our own decisions. Hawk gave excellent suggestions for lenders, and assured us that the title company representative would be very good. The whole team was remarkably competent and caring.

Hawk’s communication was timely and crystal clear. He was always available. Hawk attended the inspection and the walk-through with our daughter. He delivered the keys after closing.

Hawk helped us through the online documents that needed to be signed, and he got the answers we requested from the seller’s agent and the HOA. He arranged the sale of furniture and an extra refrigerator from the seller. He provided guidance on what to request after the inspection report was issued. He provided contact information for utilities and internet service.

We could not ask for more – but if we had, we have no doubt that Hawk would have done it.

Hawk was amazing to work with when purchasing my first solo property. I gave him a loose idea of what I was looking for in the RiNo area. He found just the right place and guided me through the whole process. He conducted himself professionally and was cautious during the Covid restrictions. Carried hand sanitizer, disinfectant and masks. He wiped everything down before leaving the properties.

Hawk is an outstanding realtor! Hawk was very patient while helping find a house. When evaluating houses Hawk brought insight into all of the houses that we viewed. Hawk found many houses that fit criteria and was very responsive whenever we decided to go see a house. I've bought and sold several houses, and Hawk is by far the best realtor that I've worked with.

I recently worked with Hawk while in search of an investment property in Denver’s RINO district. I met Hawk in RINO back in 2004 when we both early loft owners on Blake Street, so I know he knows a lot about the area and a lot about Denver in general. Well, we had a seamless buying experience and, as usual, it was a pleasure doing business with such a professional who has also become a good friend. Thanks again Hawk!

Being a first-time buyer, I had lots and lots of questions throughout the entire process, but Hawk never made me feel stupid or like I was wasting his time.

I would recommend Hawk to anyone looking to buy in the area, especially to first-time buyers. Thanks again Hawk!

Hawk is exceptional to work with! We first benefited from his expertise 6 years ago when we bought our first home in Louisville. When it was time to sell that home and purchase another, we had so much confidence that once again Hawk would find us the perfect home. Not only did he find us our dream home in Erie, he helped us sell our home so we could make that dream a reality. We trust Hawk with all our Real Estate needs-he’s friendly, professional and overall great to work with. We can’t recommend him enough!
