About the host
Hosted by Jeremy Kunzinger
I've been a resident of Texas for ~ 30 years. I hold a degree from the University of Texas (from a long time ago) and hold a Texas broker's license in addition to being a Realtor. I love hosting and sharing our home with others. On my time off, I like to enjoy the outdoors with my family and spend time with my wife and five-year-old daughter.
