Chad Hoppke

Chad Hoppke has been fortunate enough to call the Twin Cities home his whole life! He has lived in the Northeast metro area, Minnetonka, Hopkins, and now he is calling Watertown home for the last 27+ years. Before Chad’s Real Estate career he spent his summers working for his uncle building houses, became a pressman/machinist at a printing company in Chanhassen, had done some managing in a manufacturing facility. Chad soon realized that factory work was not what he wanted long term. Chad also raced snowmobiles for Team Arctic in the late 90’s and that opened a new door for him, and he started a Motorsports Business: Hoppke Racing. During that time Chad learned that sales and service it was what he was good at. Unfortunately, that business was heavily dependent on snowfall, and after a couple years of brown winters he quickly realized a career in Real Estate sales would be ideal. With what Chad learned from his uncle building houses left him confident enough to purchase and work on flipping some houses and investing in rental properties. In 1992 Chad purchased his first home in Watertown. Back then he did not understand the transaction process and trusted a brand new Realtor. Not realizing his future was in Real Estate, the whole experience left a bad taste in his mouth. Chad took to the real estate market with Minnetonka Realty in 2004 and soon moved to RE/MAX Results. In 2009 Chad joined The Vanderlinde Group and RE/MAX Edge, 2015 Chad moves to a new RE/MAX office in Watertown RE/MAX Alliance Realty. After 3+ years there Chad decides to go back home to RE/MAX Results and has been dedicated to the #1 Real Estate company in MN ever since. Today Chad and his son Ben reside in Watertown and they enjoy hunting, snowmobiling, canoeing, four wheeling and heading up north to their cabin in the St. Croix River valley. As you can see, they love to get outdoors and enjoy all the resources our great state has to offer. In Chad’s 15+ years in Real Estate he has been voted “Super Real Estate Agent” by Minneapolis/St. Paul Twin City Business magazine 8 times. Chad really enjoys working with first time homebuyers and Hobby farms. Chad is also an expert in recreational and hunting properties as well as single family, townhouses, hobby farms, and foreclosures, Lakeshore helping both buyers and sellers.
