Better together: Jalal and Mohammad Farzaneh

Jalal and Mohammad Farzaneh, partners of Home Creations, were in business long before Oklahoma City saw unprecedented low unemployment amid a national recession. And through their membership and participation in the Chamber and its efforts, they have a front row seat to the work being done to strengthen Greater Oklahoma City.

“As the leading economic development organization in Greater Oklahoma City, the Chamber is bringing in new businesses and helping local businesses expand. Their economic development efforts are incredible and are essential to our continued growth. Through our involvement in the Chamber, we are able to stay informed and be involved in issues relating to the business and overall community needs.”

Like many other business owners, the Farzanehs have experienced positive growth thanks to the successes of Greater Oklahoma City.

“Oklahoma City is a great place to be, and the promotion of the city makes it easier for us to do our job – to sell homes. For years, Oklahoma City has offered a friendly business climate for our company, as well as resources and growth opportunities. And like most in Oklahoma City, they’re excited about the positive momentum and progress going forward.

“When we travel to other states or countries, we always tell others about Oklahoma City and what’s happening here. We have a low unemployment rate, a stable housing market, an educated work force and so much more. We’ve seen a lot of forward-thinking changes here, such as the city’s management working on infrastructure to support future growth. We see the community becoming broader, with more diversity. Our city is expanding culturally, and that is a great thing.”

The Farzanehs are looking forward to the continued progress in Greater Oklahoma City and their opportunity to play a role in it.

“We see Oklahoma City becoming a leading example in growth and development for other cities – if it isn’t already. Our opportunities are vast and the future is bright!”
