About Carolee Hawkins
Carolee Hawkins has proudly called Colorado's Western Slope home since 2003. Having lived in both Grand Junction and Montrose, she offers firsthand knowledge of the lifestyle, neighborhoods, and opportunities that make the Grand Valley such a special place to live, work, and invest. Carolee's passion for real estate is rooted in delivering an exceptional client experience. She believes great communication is the foundation of every successful transaction, taking the time to understand each client's "why" so she can expertly handle the "how." With a solution-driven mindset, strong negotiation skills, and an upbeat, steady approach, she makes the buying and selling process smooth, informed, and stress-free. Her results speak for themselves. Carolee has consistently ranked among the top producers in the Grand Junction MLS - #16 in 2022, #17 in 2023, #16 in 2024, and #24 in 2025 - out of more than 850 agents, reflecting both her dedication and the trust her clients place in her. Deeply knowledgeable about the local market, Carolee leverages technology, video tours, and virtual tools to help both local and out-of-area buyers confidently preview homes from anywhere in the world. She's passionate about answering questions, sharing local insight, and helping clients feel connected long before they move. Before real estate, Carolee built a diverse background in marketing, community outreach, and residential property insurance adjusting, giving her a strong understanding of construction, property condition, and value - an advantage her clients appreciate during inspections and negotiations. Originally from Colorado's Front Range, Carolee landed in the Grand Valley through her husband, Tyler, a Palisade native. As the locals say, if you don't take the dirt with you when you leave, you're bound to come back. Fortunately, they stayed - because the outdoor recreation and Western Slope lifestyle simply can't be beat. When she's not serving clients, you'll find Carolee and her family mountain biking, golfing, hiking, camping, skiing, floating the river, cheering on their kids at youth sports, volunteering at the soup kitchen, or volunteering with the GJHS Booster Club. Whether you're buying your first home, investing, or expanding your business, Carolee is ready to hep you find the right property and feel right at home on the Western Slope.
