About the guest:

Before joining the Neal & Neal team, Jamie Bledsoe took up architectural design.  She then worked for a small architectural firm for 4 years and met her husband.  After getting married, they transferred to San Antonio, TX, where Jamie found it challenging to get a job as an architect.  She tried several jobs until she worked for a large HOA management company.

Jamie led and managed the closing department for that HOA company.  Here, she got to work with many title companies and learned more about deeds and legal documents.  This sparked her interest in real estate, and decided to start her career with the Neal & Neal team.

Today, Jamie Bledsoe has taken over the operations side of The Neal & Neal Team, and she has done a phenomenal job at streamlining and automating their business.  Their goal is to have 750 transactions this year, and they are currently on track to surpass that number if conditions keep going the way it is.
