About Us

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 – but Erik’s real passion is in the communities he’s built and nurtured.

At the heart of his work are three powerful spaces:

1. Hatch Mastermind – A space where real estate team leaders sharpen their skills, challenge the status quo, and grow together.
2. Redefined Community – A brotherhood for men who are privileged with pressure. It’s where growing and bro’ing happen side by side – because real strength comes from vulnerability and accountability.
3. Leader’s Sandbox – Erik’s local brainchild, bringing together small business leaders and owners to collaborate, connect, and level up.

When he’s not cultivating these thriving hubs, Erik is shaping the future of real estate through Hatch Coaching, where he mentors and coaches 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.
