073: The Perfect Hiring Blueprint with Erik Hatch

Erik Hatch and I are in masterminds together. I wanted to bring him on to talk about building a successful real estate team and some of the challenges when it comes to hiring. Erik’s been a full-time realtor for ten years and started out part-time while he was working as a minister. He lives and works in Fargo, ND but has properties nationwide and is about to open his sixth market in Minneapolis, MN. He’s built such a successful team over the years that now, his business pretty much runs without him. Many people want to make more money by working less, and you can only do that by hiring a team of great individuals. Erik believes in empowering and lifting people up over just delegating tasks.

In today’s world, people look for instant gratification everywhere, even in dating and hiring. It pays to take your time, and Erik’s hiring process is lengthy for a reason. He finds that the people who stick with it through to the end are really serious about working with him and aren’t looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. When you spend enough time with a potential hire in the interview process, you’re able to get them to go off-script and really get to know them as a person. Talking to references is important so you can get to know the truth about someone beyond the outer layer.

Erik and his partner, Robby, have a book coming out called “The Perfect Real Estate Agent Blueprints”. Check it out along with more info on his business by heading to his website below.
