Hi, I’m Jami, Welcome!!
If you’ve found your way over to this site I will assume it’s for a couple of different reasons. You could have came here for expert real estate advice, maybe a recipe I shared over on IG, or maybe you wanted to check out one of my current design projects I are working on. It’s a little bit of everything all wrapped up into one website. Need to know how to sell your home?…. just look through my real estate section. Want to know how to stage your home?…… Check out the design section. Want a good recipe to cook for dinner tonight?….. just come back to my blog and search my favorite recipe section….. Come here to learn, maybe laugh, and get to know me and my design style just a little better.
By now, you probably sense that I write like I speak. Sarcasm IS my language and laughter is my medicine (and how I get through work/parenting/life.) I make fun of myself and most things in life. It’s the only way to keep sane in this crazy, busy, world…. Enjoy my writing style? Well, keep reading on to learn a little bit more about me and how I ended up in the Real Estate/Design world.
I am a Mama to two “biologicals” (the two kids that I gave birth to) and one bonus kid. My oldest is Presley. She is 13(going on 21). She is my mini me, attitude and all… which is scary. If I survive these teenage years I might just make it out alive!!! Presley really is a great kid…. she just has that typical pre-teen girl attitude. She is probably the most kind hearted kid I know though… and the most creative. My youngest Mr B.(Bentley) is 6. He is a true mama’s boy, but boy that mouth of his is something else. The things he says makes you wonder how he can be so witty when he is so young.(and it also kind of makes me cringe a little when someone says “guess what Bentley said to me”. Last but not least…My BONUS KID which is also my middle child DJ. He is my red headed step child(yes it’s a joke) and I am his evil stepmother (still a joke people). We haven’t always had the relationship we do now… but I can honestly say… he is definitely a Bonus to my life.
I am engaged to the love of my life, Mike. I seriously don’t know how could “do life” without him. He puts up with my crazy ideas and spontaneous personality. (supposedly it’s my free spirit…..he just thinks I’m crazy) We did things a little backwards… typically you meet, date, get married, and then have kids….. NOT US…We each had a child when we met, we dated, then had a baby together, and just recently decided to tie the knot (I know, we are such rebels). We may not have done everything “in order” or the “traditional way” but it’s our life and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
My background in real estate and design is a little non traditional as well……I did not go to school for it. I actually went for Cosmetology and I was a hair stylist for over 9 years!!! When my youngest was born I decided to step out of the beauty industry and into a stay at home mom…. That worked for a while but as my youngest became less dependent on me, I started needing another creative outlet. I have always loved Real Estate and Home Design…. and I would like to think I have a good eye for it as well. (Y’all can be the judge of that.) So when Mike needed someone to design the homes he builds, I jumped at the opportunity to get let my creativity flow! Fast forward a few houses, design projects, building our home together, helping other people find the home of their dreams and here we are. So now my job title is officially… Jami Purser: REALTOR, Home Designer, Chef, Mama, Wife, and Gardener. (I’ve totally got this.)
