In Memory of GAR Past President Brad Hvolbeck
November 8, 1940 - August 17, 2025
The Board of Directors of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) and Greenwich Multiple Listing Service (GMLS) honors the memory of GAR Past President, Bradley Steele Hvolbeck.
Brad joined GAR & GMLS in September 1968, and remained active through 2024, which earned him REALTOR® Emeritus status with over 50 years of membership and service in the Greenwich, Connecticut, and National Association of REALTORS®.
Brad became very involved in leading the GAR & GMLS organizations, sitting for multiple terms as President between 1982-1986, 1991-1992, and 2002-2003 - the most of any GAR Past President - which is a testament to the respect he gained amongst his colleagues.
Brad was awarded the GAR REALTOR® of the Year award in 2004, and shortly thereafter was inducted into the GAR Hall of Fame in 2006. Inductees of the GAR Hall of Fame exhibit the highest ethical standards, integrity and professionalism, and go above and beyond to volunteer in the community for the benefit of the public.
Throughout the GAR Community, Brad will be remembered as a true professional. He was also quite the artist- His below original painting 'Nine Flags' is proudly displayed in the GAR Lobby.
Outside of his professional life, “Brad was renowned for his sharp wit, sense of humor, his elegant style and his magnificent posture. His personality filled the room and more than anything Brad loved being with his family and friends, entertaining, telling a story or cracking a joke.”
Brad's legacy will live on through the many lives he touched throughout the Greenwich community and he will be missed dearly by many.
