Tulsa Remote was recently featured on Realtor.com, highlighting how our program is attracting remote workers who not only relocate but also invest in making Tulsa their long-term home. The story opened with Faith Langevin and Matt Costanza, who discovered Tulsa Remote through a Reddit post while living in Atlanta. Initially skeptical, Faith expected “tumbleweeds” when she first thought about Tulsa, but after moving - the couple quickly embraced the city, purchased a home, and built a life they don’t plan to leave behind.

The Realtor.com piece underscored that Tulsa Remote isn’t simply about a financial incentive; it’s about a thoughtful model that produces real results. By offering $10,000 grants alongside intentional support systems, the program has created thousands of local jobs and createda four-to-one return on investment for the city. Economist Timothy Bartik explained that Tulsa’s approach is effective because it’s designed with care - selecting applicants who are not only seeking opportunity but who will also add meaningful contributions to the community.

As Realtor.com noted, this balance of affordability, opportunity, and belonging sets Tulsa apart from traditional business-focused economic development strategies. By investing in people directly, Tulsa Remote is bringing in new talent, strengthening neighborhoods, and growing the tax base in ways that benefit all Tulsans. For members like Faith and Matt, it’s proof that a move to Tulsa is more than a career shift - it’s an investment in a thriving community and a place to truly call home.
