We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Matt + Brittani Miller a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Matt + Brittani, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
What the heck does ‘DASH’ the Town mean???
I feel like I have had this conversation with a lot of people, but it never decreases its impact on me… With the losses the world has suffered recently, it tugs at my heartstrings again.
It stems from this poem that I have always loved, and you should read the whole thing if you have a moment… but here is the cliff notes version.
“I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning… to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that DASH represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars… the house… the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.”
Matt and I have personally suffered a lot of loss in our short years here on earth.
The past few years in particular have been peppered with pain, reflection and transformation for everyone. What I know now is that beyond the loss, I need to continue living my own ‘DASH’ and live my life on full blast!!!
We want everyone to experience that, especially where they live. There is so much to see and do, as long as you know where to look. As Realtors®, we aren’t just finding you a house, we are finding you a home, a community, a family! It is very important that you are able to live your life on full blast, creating memories for your DASH, both inside and outside of your home.
Matt + Brittani, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
We are the Digital Mayors of DFW.
As Realtors®, we are hyper-aware of the importance of knowing what the community you live in, or plan to move to has to offer, so we make it our business to know your neighborhood.
Like you, we love the idea of shopping, eating, and being active locally. So how do we support this? We try out, we test and, we experience what our communities have to offer. In a nutshell, we test out and interview different businesses and then bring that information to you.
Whether you’re looking for a new date night idea, a fun family activity, a hot new gym class, a hairstylist, or even a life coach, we’ve got you covered.
When you buy a home, you buy the community. We do the leg work so you can decide if it’s the right community for you and get busy spending your time LIVING THE DASH with the best the cities have to offer.
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
Funny story…. we have actually known each other since we were 5 years old :)
We went to the same private school in a small town and I had the biggest crush on Matt…… Matt had the biggest crush on my best friend *insert eye roll*
I left the school after 9th grade and he left after 10th. Then we randomly bumped into each other in a history class our sophomore year of college. He ended up dropping the class, but I had invited him to church when we saw each other. It took him 2 years to come out, but we’ll move past that.
When he finally came to church, I was convinced that he was in love with me and we were about to ride off into the sunset together…. It took him a few more months to realize that, but I’ll forgive him someday haha.
Fast forward

Here we are!
We utilize our life experience, along with our “laugh at my pain” mentality to serve and entertain our clients on a daily basis.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
We believe loyalty comes from adding value to those around you without asking for anything in return. Officially we sell homes, but we are able to add value to our clients and community (both physically and digitally) by sharing all of our knowledge for free. It can be real estate information, sending referrals to our partners to assist our clients, community information, local events, connecting local small businesses with new partners, or sharing their business with our community.
We love sharing all of those things via video and on social media. We also have an email and blog where we share that information so our clients are aware of events and things that are happening all around them.
