CHRIS CHRIS FARLEY

WHEN CHRIS FARLEY WALKED ACROSS THE STAGE AT NOLAN HIGH SCHOOL IN 1984, A TWINKLE OF AMBITION SHONE IN HER EYES. ROGER FARLEY, A PROUD 1983 GRADUATE OF BELFRY HIGH SCHOOL IN PIKEVILLE, KY, AND A FOUR-YEAR AIR FORCE VETERAN MIRRORED THE SAME AMBITION. LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THAT THEIR SEPARATE JOURNEYS WOULD INTERTWINE, BUILDING A LEGACY FOR FUTURE HOMEOWNERS IN NORTH TEXAS.

In the bustling heart of North Texas, the broker/ owners of Mountain Creek Real Estate, Chris and Roger Farley, have been steadily curating unforgettable real estate experiences. The Farley Team, as they’re known, boasts 18 years of dedication, passion, and expertise in the real estate industry.

“Our passion is to help as many people as possible reach their real estate needs,” Chris shares, the excitement in her voice unmistakable. “Working with ‘First-time home buyers’ and guiding them through the process of buying their first home – there’s an indescribable energy and excitement in that.”

The shift from being employees to entrepreneurs wasn’t smooth sailing, and the pair candidly expresses the challenges that came with the transformation. “The mindset changes from being an employee to a business owner. There’s so much to learn about having your own business – managing time, clients, closings, marketing, finances. Yet, we’re passionate about this journey,” Roger admits, speaking of the rewarding hustle that their passion has turned into.

The most rewarding aspect of their careers?

“Handing over the keys to a client at the end of a transaction and knowing that we did everything that we could to make that client’s experience the very best,” the Farleys confess, their voices a duet of genuine satisfaction.

The journey that started as a high school dream in the 1980s has now found its home at Mountain Creek Real Estate, a brokerage that holds a unique story behind its name. “Roger grew up in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, his ‘happy place.’ I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and my ‘happy place’ has always been listening to running creeks or rivers. So, we put them together to form MOUNTAIN CREEK. We are devoted to helping every client find their ‘happy place,’” Chris explains, an audible smile in her voice.

Their growth is evident in their achievements, as they’ve served on “agent leadership councils,” received multiple awards for sales, and been recognized for helping other agents. However, they measure success in a different way. “Success is helping as many people as we can obtain their real estate goals and them knowing that we care about them on a personal level,” Roger states.

The Farleys’ life outside of real estate is equally colorful. They are parents to five children and doting grandparents to seven. Their hobbies include traveling, especially cruising, watching their grandchildren’s sporting events, and planning trips – with a journey to Ireland in the pipeline.

For aspiring Real Producers, the Farleys share an invaluable nugget of wisdom: “Come from contribution, by putting your client’s needs above your own.” They also emphasize making their clients comfortable, ensuring they are educated throughout the process, and showing they are truly on their side. They hope to be remembered for their contributions and helping others, as they continue to expand their operations and aid more families in realizing their real estate dreams.

In the end, the Farleys’ story is about more than real estate. Chris and Roger exemplify how chasing dreams and blending passions can carve a unique and successful path. They prove that dedication, perseverance, and a heart to serve others are the building blocks of a thriving business – and a fulfilling life.

As they continue to guide first-time homeowners, navigate tough markets, and serve their clients in the best way possible, the legacy they’re creating goes beyond the sold houses and into the hearts of the community they serve. It’s a testament to their steadfast spirit, their undying passion for real estate, and their commitment to helping people find their ‘happy place.’ And if you ask them, the journey has just begun.

ABOVE YOUR OWN.
