This week we speak with Taley Hunt, founder and CEO of the Taley Hunt Home Group in Columbia, South Caroline. When Taley first got into real estate three years ago, she knew literally nothing about the business—as she says, she went into it blind. So how did a military wife whose husband got transferred to a different state in the middle of COVID, who had no job, and who discovered she was pregnant the same day she took her license exam end up selling 28 homes as a solo agent in her first year? Join us to find out how she used Facebook groups to build a network of followers and referral agents that produced most of her initial business, the dramatic effect that sharing her personal journey and goals had on her engagement with followers and her referral rate, what she recommends new agents do and that she wishes she had done when she first started as an agent, and how she’s helping moms start careers as agents, supporting them in ways she never experienced.
