We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Talyn Provo. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Talyn below.
Talyn, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s talk about innovation. What’s the most innovative thing you’ve done in your career?
In July 2020, I embarked on my real estate journey, and like many newcomers to the field, it took some time to achieve my first closing. During this time, I dedicated hours each day to prospecting, honing my social media presence, and immersing myself in the ins and outs of the industry. I invested a significant amount of time in learning the business before spending a single penny on marketing.
During my initial months as a licensed agent, I specifically focused on Facebook prospecting, actively engaging with various networking and referral groups – Shortly after being in these groups, I noticed the large number of individuals relocating to Texas from markets across the country and had an epiphany – why not begin engaging with them? With my deep-rooted knowledge of the DFW area as a Native North Texan, I knew I could offer valuable insights.
I then began actively participating in several Facebook groups dedicated to those moving to Texas, when one particular group, “Moving to Texas,” caught my attention with its bustling community of around 15,000 members.
I was inspired to create a group tailored to individuals relocating to the DFW Metroplex, which is how “Moving to DFW” began. I was passionate about facilitating a space that prioritized value and authenticity. My mission was clear: to cultivate meaningful connections and offer unparalleled support, trustworthy resources, and expert guidance to those navigating the vibrant Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Today, with the unwavering support of my team, we’ve facilitated over 150 successful relocations to the DFW area, driven by our commitment to provide assistance and foster genuine connections. Our Moving to DFW Facebook group has grown to over 5,500+ members. Additionally, in July of 2023, I had the opportunity to acquire the “Moving to Texas” Facebook Group that originally pioneered my business. We have since grown to over 33,000 members!
Our goal for Moving to TX (formerly known as Moving to Texas) is to foster a community dedicated to providing support and resources to those who are planning on moving to Texas, in the same way that we have with Moving to DFW. We want to expand our reach and help people make informed decisions about relocating to any area of Texas!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
