Brian possesses a rare combination of a deep intellect and high EQ (people skills). This was our first time looking for and buying a cabin. While exciting, the process also drags on, gets tedious, and has its stressful moments. Brian did a wonderful job keeping us engaged and excited about the process.

Finally, Brian's customer service is first rate. He responds quickly and thoroughly to requests and often went well beyond what we expected, and always with a positive and upbeat approach.

For all the reasons above (and many others), both my wife and I highly recommend Brian. read less

We had a lot of questions about the home buying process and Brian was happy to answer them. He also guided us through many of the processes that needed to be completed during the Home buying process. He also worked with our schedule to book house showings. I know there are many different options for Realtors in the Fergus falls/lakes area, but if you have the chance to work with Brian Tjaden there's no one better than him. read less

Keely was very helpful throughout my entire home buying process. She was always very responsive and made sure my questions were answered quickly but thoroughly. Would definitely recommend her to any others looking to buy or sell!

Brian at Hatch was the best. Extremely professional and watched out for our best interest through out the entire process. We will work with Hatch next time and recommend them to everyone.

My fiancé and I began our home buying journey a few months ago while still living in Oregon. At the time, we were unable to travel to Fargo, ND. Kirsten came alongside us and worked with our needs. She helped coordinate a trip for my fiancé’s mother to view homes for us. She helped us find our dream home in our dream neighborhood and even negotiated the price down during the most competitive time for homebuyers. Later in the process, we had a few setbacks with our financing company and feared losing our home but Kirsten connected us to resources and worked with her various colleagues in the mortgage industry to ensure we didn’t lose our home. We felt so blessed to have Kirsten by our side in our home buying journey because she is so kind, yet assertive and genuinely had our best interest at heart! She went above and beyond to ensure we found our dream home!!! read less

Not only is Dave a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor, he is also a cool, kindhearted person who was there for us through out the way. Dave made the whole process easy for us and would show up to every showing with enthusiasm and optimism.

Dave would walk us through the whole house pointing out issues that we might have not even noticed. After a long time of searching we finally landed on a home and Dave was there helping us through closing, making appointments for us along the way. I would highly suggest Dave and the Hatch Realty team. They are great!!!! read less

Our process was very stressful NOT because of keely but because of our bank she helped us through the process even called the bank on our behalf to try and help figure things out! When looking at houses she let us come to our own decisions. She was very knowledgeable in the process and if there was something she may have been unfamiliar she would go check out it with someone who did know which I really appreciate instead of making something up. She was very responsive and pretty flexible on when to look at houses I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house read less

Erika was awesome! She helped us find our first home during a crazy housing market. Her patience and availability are what stood out the most. She is very personable and easy to work with. I never felt pressured or obligated. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Erika is a wonderful agent! She is very knowledgeable and when touring properties is very good at pointing out things - good and bad. I would recommend her for anyone looking to buy a new home! She gets five stars for everything!!

We were first time home buyers from out of town, and Dave was the guy who got stuck with us! As it was the first time buying, AND in an unfamiliar area we were very picky and not willing to compromise on much! We also were working with a VA loan which comes with its own set of complications. With the market being how it was, that did not make Daves job any easier. He never gave up on us and never quit pushing forward for us! We felt as he was just as invested in finding “the perfect fit” as we were. After each home we would discuss pros and cons, likes and dislikes as well as things that we thought we wouldn’t compromise on but became less important as homes had most of our must haves. He asked so many questions that we never even thought of, it wasn’t just “how many bedrooms and baths do you need?” Dave would adjust criteria and play devils advocate when we found something we loved to be sure it would work for our family! It was nice to know that he actually cared if it would work well for us or not! He went up to bat for us countless times which was an absolute MUST in the accelerated, competitive market. We put Dave through hell and he always had a smile and a solution! If he didn’t know the answer he found it quickly. He’s a family man, with a busy home life and STILL had plenty of time to work with us and we never felt rushed or like he wasn’t “in it” with us. I highly recommend working with Dave if you are looking for your first, next, or perfect home and want a personalized experience! You will not be disappointed! In fact, if you choose to not work with Dave, it would be a mistake. read less

Janet has been awesome! Very friendly and awesome at getting us in to see houses! And we had to look at a bunch of houses since they’re going so quick right now.

Kirsten was super helpful. She took all my house “needs” into consideration and was able to find me a perfect home. She was also very responsive to texts/calls at all times of the day and was always easy to get a hold of.

As a first time homeowner, she knew about the process, the market, and she kept me from stressing out too much! She was able to either answer my endless questions, or worked to find an answer from other local proffesionals when it was something she hadn't dealt with before. I don't like talking on rhe phone, and her being able to text with me and make phone calls for me was a huge help. It made this a much better experience for me than if I had worked with someone that insisted on a lot of phone calls. I will recommend her to everyone that needs a realtor! She did an incredible job, and went above and beyond to get me into a house that I love. read less

He explained in detail the entire process of buying a home from start to finish, this was very important to us as we both did not know a whole lot about the process. There were many times that we had to make it to showings that were just listed moments before, Eli always made it work. Eli always made himself available to us and was always ready to answer any questions we had. His time, effort and dedication to helping his clients find their perfect home is incredible. Thank you Eli! read less

When we walked into our Dream Home at one of his Open Houses he wasn't pushy or overbearing. Once we knew how badly we wanted it we talked about our concerns of having to sell our current home. Dave came to our house that same day to give us a market analysis. He listened to our fears and answered all of our questions. We listed our home a few days later. Dave was always available via phone call, text, or email. We were very comfortable with the entire process. We had a lot of fun with Dave as well, always knowing eachother's favorite movie quotes. Our house sold within hours of going on the market! Finally, we were so surprised to find the Hatch Realty gifts at our new home when we showed up after closing! Hatch Realty does so much for the local community as well. I would highly recommend Dave Stein with Hatch Realty for buying or selling your home! read less
