Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Fathom Holdings Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-235972), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), and the prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”), as publicly filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 17, 2020, as subsequently amended on or about the date hereof, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in connection with the registration of the offer and sale of an aggregate of up to 3,067,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Securities”), including up to 375,000 shares purchasable by the underwriter upon exercise of an option granted to the underwriter by the Company.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-1 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with the foregoing, we have relied upon, among other things, our examination of such documents, records of the Company and certificates of its officers and public officials as we deemed necessary for purposes of the opinions expressed below. In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all persons or entities executing the same, the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by shareholders where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.

Some of the Securities will be uncertificated as of the closing of the offering described in the Registration Statement.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of North Carolina and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion does not extend to compliance with federal or state securities laws relating to the offer or sale of the Securities.
