Real estate found me when I first moved to Texas—and it became a calling I couldn’t ignore.

 

My career in real estate was unexpected; it almost happened by accident. It started when my husband, Bob, got transferred to Kingwood. We bought a home here, which turned out to be too small for us, so we leased it and purchased another one. It was yours truly who oversaw both the purchasing and sale  process. By then, I was already intrigued by real estate, and I loved getting into the nitty gritty details of it. “Well,” said Bob after seeing my joy, “why don’t you get your real estate license?”

 

He was spot on. In fact, Bob has been a huge part of my professional journey, even before I knew what that journey would be. When we first met—at a disco club, no less—we bonded instantly. We both loved dancing disco, and before long, I was giving him disco lessons (which he didn’t need, by the way. He was a terrific dancer!) One thing led to another, and we started dating. 

 

Back then, I was working at a hair salon. He encouraged me to leave and open my own. We set it up together, and next thing you know, I was running my own place. Bob’s always been fun and funny, and he’s been my best friend from the beginning. So of course, it made sense that we’d start a family.

 

Like many mothers, having children changed everything. Suddenly, life wasn’t just about me—I had little ones to care for. We have three boys: Brandon, Justin, and Derek. Each one brought their own unique joys and challenges. One of the most life-changing moments came when Brandon was a baby; he had a medical condition that caused him to stop breathing. It was terrifying. The doctors told us it was Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The chances of survival were low.

 

I remember one night, watching Brandon sleep peacefully, and I just broke down. “God,” I said crying “please don’t take this baby from me.” In that moment, I felt a presence—gentle, loving, peaceful––and I heard a reply that reassured me. God is benevolent, and whatever outcome was to come, I could trust it. That moment marked the beginning of a deep and lasting relationship with God. And thankfully, Brandon survived. Today, all three of my children are doing great.

 

I stayed home for many years to focus on raising them, and after Bob got transferred to Kingwood, I got my license in 2002. Once I got going, I found real estate to be a perfect fit. I loved not just helping people buy and sell, but actually bringing homes to life—rehabbing properties, unlocking their potential, and even investing in them myself.

 

When Bob started considering retirement—after 37 years in sales and marketing—I told him, “Why don’t you help me instead?” So he did. For 7 years, we built one of Keller Williams’ top-producing teams and became successful investors in our own right.

Being an investor has taught me a lot about how to “play the game.” Markets shift. Accidents happen. I’ve made money, and I’ve lost money. And through all the ups and downs, I’ve gained experience and wisdom I now pass on to my clients who are buying or selling in Kingwood. I know this area like the back of my hand—I’ve lived here since 1998––and it’s a great place. The community values and neighborly spirit here truly resonate with me.

 

These days, Bob is slowly retiring and spends his time golfing and occasionally helping me with the business. As for me, I still love dancing, hanging out with friends and family, and most of all, serving my clients—who I see as family, too.

 

I’m deeply committed to protecting my clients throughout the home buying or selling process. Having personally experienced the pain of losing money on properties, I bring a strong sense of responsibility to help others avoid that outcome. My years of experience, combined with ongoing market research, allow me to offer honest, practical, and well-informed advice. I focus on helping clients find homes that not only support their current lifestyle but will also be smart financial investments in the future. I always think about resale value, long-term equity, and hidden costs that might not be immediately visible.

 

I’m especially protective of first-time homebuyers, paying close attention to information that’s not being disclosed and flagging potential red flags during home assessments. If I sense someone is trying to take advantage of my client, my “mama bear” side comes out. At the same time, I love keeping things light—and I love laughing. With a last name like Blewett (pronounced “Blew it”), you have to have a sense of humor. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and sharing both my wins and mistakes to bring real value.

 

Sincerely,

 

Terri Blewett
