My wife and I worked with Emily at Hatch Realty and loved it. She helped us buy our first house, and it was a breeze. She also helped us work through buying our second home, which was more complicated, but she made it super fun and easy. Rob helped us sell on our second transaction and made things very simple to understand and helped us get the most value out of it. I believe we had several offers in the first 24 hours and had sold our home in the first 36 hours. The team at Hatch is really second to none. Everything is done at your pace, however fast or slow you feel comfortable going. Both experiences were great and, when we buy our next home (probably not for quite awhile), we will be calling on them again! Thanks Emily, thanks Rob, and thanks Hatch Realty for being awesome!

I have to say that I really disagree with other reviewers. Buying our home with Hatch was a great experience. We worked with Angie and I was happy that she was able to accommodate multiple meetings and showing times outside of regular 9-5 hours and on weekends. She was very attentive to all of our first timer questions and walked us through all of the strategy and complicated paperwork that comes with buying a home. The company also has a strong connection to the community and I have seen them listed as sponsors for many community oriented events, which you don't really see from the competitors. If I ever need to buy or sell a home again, I would definitely reach out to Hatch. read more

Had the opportunity to spend two full days as well as evening events with Eric and the entire Hatch Realty team. Like hands-on in their office space at the real estate training event with other brokers from all over the country. This is kind of an odd review because I was in their space as a peer - and I can say that I have never seen anyone doing what they are doing. During the course of our training event they put on a community comedy show with the line benders at the old Fargo theater. Their community involvement is nothing shy of amazing and I don't think I've seen another real estate company with true culture. Most are just transactional trying to chase the dollar. Keep it up, Will do our very best to try and come somewhere near the this level of excellence! read more

Hatch has built an energetic yet thoughtful, young yet knowledgeable team that went above and beyond to walk me through a process that I was fairly unfamiliar with, and that made the experience as enjoyable as possible. The first time we visited, I only knew that I wanted to stop renting and start building equity in my first home, and that I wanted to live in a specific area of Fargo. I was in no hurry to buy, but a couple of short months later, my agent had found exactly what I was looking for. I got an excellent price thanks to Jamie's negotiation skills, I felt knowledgeable thanks to his incredible responsiveness even through my endless stream of questions, I felt confident thanks to the level of trust that was so easy to build up, and I felt comfortable as I got to sit back and relax during the onerous parts of the purchasing process. In the end, I've got a beautiful home, but I've also got a fantastic new group of friends at Hatch's office. My experience could not have been more positive, and I know that mine is not an isolated incident. I would highly recommend Hatch's team to anyone looking to find success on either side of a real estate transaction. read more

Sarah Link from Hatch reality is the best! I've known Sarah for a long time. She is passionate, trustworthy, honest and the most hardworking person I have ever met.

Easiest way to buy a house. Step by step directions and always the best possible price!

I bought my first and second homes with this team. Their service is exceptional and I can't imagine ever wanting to work with another team in the Fargo-Moorhead area. If you're looking for a team to buy or sell a home, I would stop right here. You've found the best in town. read more

Hatch realty wouldn't respond to our agents messages or phone calls. To get a viewing, my wife had to personally call Hatch and act like we weren't working with an agent so their company could get the seller's AND buyer's commission. When she finally told him the agent we were working with, they said they were just going to call her back... after 3 days! Then, Marc Hedlund said we would have to schedule a viewing with the property owner's however, we already knew the house already had a lock box and was vacant and caught him in his second lie as the house had been previously listed 3 other times. We asked repeatedly for the house's disclosure statement which he did not provide until AFTER we made an offer on the house, which was then accepted on a Friday. The disclosure statement was flawless however, during our viewing we noticed a broken window, damaged siding, water damage, missing roof turbines, missing light fixtures, and mold. We scheduled a home inspector for that Wednesday but on Monday, Hatch cashed our earnest check and at 8:30pm we received a notice to remove all contingencies and list our current home before 10pm or the contract is null and void. We removed the contingency on the sale of our house only and listed our house on MLS at 9:30pm. Hatch Realty's contract states they have the right to remove any and all contingencies at any time, which makes the contingency sheet pointless. In our realtor's 40 years of service, they nor their coworkers had ever seen anything like it. Again, we have been asking numerous times for the certifications of the property's well and septic system which still hasn't been provided but is required by Minnesota law. Now that our current home is listed on MLS, Hatch Realty wants a letter from our lender stating that we are able to carry two mortgages simultaneously in case our house doesn't sell. In this market, homes in our neighborhood and other comps have been selling in less than 7 days. After receiving our dual mortgage approval letter from our lender at xxxxxx Bank, he notified us that he's had similar issues with Hatch Realty in the past. Our house ended up selling 12 hours after it was listed and for $3200 more than asking. Why is Hatch Realty and Marc Hedlund doing this? Either they received another offer AFTER they accepted ours and want to drop us or they don't want us to receive a home inspection. Since Hatch Realty is the listing agent for the property, if they can also find a buyer, they get both commissions from the buyer AND seller, both the agent, Marc Hedlund, and the Realty company, Hatch Realty. What is wrong with a home inspection? After viewing a flawless disclosure statement that contradicted the actual conditions of the home, it would only make sense right? Is there Arsenic in the well? Is the septic system failing? Why can't we view the certifications that's required by Minnesota law? I have heard nothing but good things from friends about Hatch Realty and Marc Hedlund however, I have not experienced any of it. Both claim they are for helping people, family, and especially children. Both my children are under the age of 4 and one was born with a respiratory issue. After viewing water damage, mold, and possible arsenic in the well. Why would Marc Hedlund or Hatch Realty want to drop us before a home inspection takes place and not show us the certifications? Hatch Realty has all these bells and whistles with their marketing and Shark Tank and yayhoo but they don't put their money where their mouth is. Does this sound like a good business model? Is Marc Hedlund really Hatch's 2014 senior real estate agent of the year? I find it ironic and somewhat comical that Hatch Realty is headquartered out of my old pediatric dentist's building. The place continues to give me a headache. Bottom line, Hatch Realty is a bad egg. After Closing: During closing, Hatch Realty's secretary contacted our realtor and accused them of knocking their sign down, throwing it into the ditch, and moving our property into the garage. Nobody ever touched their sign and our contract stated that we were allowed access to the house a week in advance to move in. During closing is when we FINALLY received the well inspection. Something we asked to see when we looked at the house. We have been living in the house 2 weeks now and Hatch Realty gave out our personal phone numbers to the previous owners. Now the previous owners are harassing us to come get, "property" that they left at our house. Now we are involving the Sheriff! I CANNOT believe the nerve of Hatch Realty. They are a disgusting and vile company. read more

How rude! I responded to the weblink asking to view a couple listings. Immediately I got a text message response from Tyler, then from Kirby, then a phone call while I was still at work, then another one while I was trying to cook supper for my 5 yr old. I thought that was confusing but was happy to have a quick response. I called them to set up a time to check out some places. They wouldn't even talk about the properties until I had preapproval through the bank THEY wanted me to go through- Valley Mortgage. I went through Valley Mortgage before and got GREAT service but didn't want to again because I would RATHER go to my OWN credit union. When I said I would be preapproved but wouldn't be able to get to the bank until next week, he said, "well I know we've worked with you before and had troubles". WHAT TROUBLES?! Because I didn't buy from them?! That's cuz they were too pushy and impersonal. Demanding with incessant calls. Some of us have jobs and children to take care of. And anyway, I don't know why it would be necessary to have preapproval before scheduling viewings. I said I'd get the preapproval. Since my original experience, I purchased a condo and a lake lot. I had decided to upgrade to something less 3rd floor-ish though. Guess I'll be taking my money somewhere that employs real people instead of a bunch of sharks. read more

THIS BUSINESS IS NOT BBB ACCREDITED AND IT SHOWS!!!I had very high hopes for Hatch Realty, as they have been featured around the FM Area. However, my buying experience was a complete nightmare. My realtor wanted me to go seek out homes and get the numbers and agents, so that she could contact them because she "didn't have time". I asked for a certain spectrum of homes, and was send automated emails that had nothing to do with the homes that I wanted. I went in to express my frustration, and asked that my realtor be a bit more prepared when we go out. I come to find out that our conversation was made public to the entire office, and even shared via text message to people that I knew. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. I asked them to screen their homes and have more knowledge before I got there, and was told that "thats outside of what we do here, I dont think we are a good fit for you". The buyers agents only have their 3% in mind. I would like this information made public, as no buyer should suffer from people only interested in making money, not actually helping you. If they do not want to work, or do research, or help you customize your search, they should not be apart of customer service. They need to remove this statement from their website "Erik Hatch runs a talented team of real estate agents in Fargo Moorhead who are ready to help you". This is false advertising. If you are ready to help, you also have to be willing. read more
