About the host

Hosted by Heather and Jeff Fahrendorf

Host profile image
She's an Okie (Carrie Underwood's hometown is it's only claim to fame), he's a native Texan (Richardson, to be exact), but she doesn't hold that against him. They both are burning the candle trying to hold down the fort with 4 kids, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, a snake named Tony, and a business to boot. She loves to travel, and hopes one day to get to do more than just trips to the grocery store. He's most happy on a tractor. Feel free to ask us for a dozen of eggs, and we might surprise you with 2 dozen if our 25 hens are laying like they have been!

Why they chose this property

Heather used to live in East Plano right around the corner and always knew the area was up-and-coming. Jeff has forgotten more about construction and real estate in general than most people know (he reminds us of this often), so it just made sense for us to choose this property.

We also love that this property is in a quiet established neighborhood with easy access to major roads and highways, and close to everything for traveling healthcare professionals, and professionals in general.

What makes this property unique

The close proximity to downtown Plano, Bob Woodruff park and Oak Point Nature Preserve were big bonuses. And we loved the big Live Oaks, since our home is old pasture land with few trees.
