Most buyers either walk or drive past a home, real estate, and decide whether or not to enter the property based on the look of the exterior. What many buyers may not realize is that the sellers inside the house may be keener to engage with potential buyers than those standing outside. The key to selling your house is in making it appealing to as many potential buyers as possible, and having the best real estate agents in North Dakota can significantly increase your chances of selling your home fast and for top dollar.
Erik Hatch isn’t just selling homes – he’s building leaders and creating communities that thrive. Based in Fargo, North Dakota (where the winters are tough, but the people are tougher), Erik has crafted a career around leading leaders and fostering connection.
Sure, his real estate empire, Hatch Brokered by Real, has sold over 7,000 homes and consistently dominates the North Dakota market. The greatest successes haven't come from the homes sold, but rather the impact that's been made on the lives of the people on Erik's team.
Erik’s real passion is in the communities he’s built and nurtured.
At the heart of his work are three powerful spaces:
When he’s not cultivating these thriving hubs, Erik is shaping the future of real estate through Hatch Coaching, where he mentors the top 1% of agents and leaders in the industry. His approach is simple – servant leadership mixed with a dash of humor and a whole lot of authenticity.
But wait, there’s more! Erik’s philanthropic efforts have raised over $7 million globally to fight poverty and human trafficking, and locally he’s helped generate over $1 million to combat homelessness and uplift vulnerable kids in Fargo.
He’s also a two-time TED Talk speaker, author of “Play for the Person Next to You” and “The Perfect Real Estate Agent Blueprint”, and a frequent keynote for giants like Microsoft and The United Way.
At the end of the day, Erik is just a guy who loves building better humans, better businesses, and better communities. He lives in Fargo with his wife Emily and their two amazing kids, Finley and Simon – leading by example and proving that leadership isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle.
Originally from New Ulm, Minnesota, I came to the Fargo–Moorhead area to attend Concordia College in 2008. While there, I learned so many wonderful lessons, and even met my wife. We have loved calling Fargo home.
For almost 10 years, I’ve built my real estate career around what I value most: people. Houses are neat! But what I truly love is getting to know each and every client and guiding them through one of life’s biggest milestones.
Music is also a big part of my life. I’ve sung with the Fargo-Moorhead Choral Artists for over a decade, and I’ll never turn down a good night of karaoke. When I’m not singing (which my wife will say is all the time,) you can usually find me on the golf course or relaxing at my favorite getaway on Two Inlets Lake. I’m one of the lucky Minnesotans who has had a lake place to enjoy my whole life, and it’s still my favorite place to unwind with family and friends.
At home, my greatest joy is having earned the title of Dad to our daughter, Teryn, who is the best mix of both my wife and me. I care deeply about what I do, and that means I don’t shy away from coaching (or Dadding!) when it’s needed. Home buying isn’t always “sunshine and daisies,” but I’m here to help navigate every challenge and celebrate every success along the way.
