It’s always possible to make an amazing comeback in real estate. Erik Hatch, a broker with a net profit of nearly $1 million last year, is living proof of that. 4 years ago, Erik was fired from a brokerage. Shortly after, he was cheated out of roughly $150 thousand by the next brokerage that took him in. Last year, Erik’s company Hatch Realty closed 594 transactions for approximately $127 million in sales volume, and their numbers are looking even better this year. Tune in and hear how Erik managed to come back in a major way after some serious setbacks on this episode of Real Estate Rockstars!
