Meet the vibrant and unforgettable mother-son duo who share more than just a close bond, they share the same name! Yep, they’re both Jessies! Jessie Anne and her son, Jessie Dean, are an inseparable pair with big personalities and even bigger hearts. Though total opposites in many ways, their chemistry is undeniable, making them a dynamic and lovable team. Jessie Anne is a joyful, always-on-the-go artist, author, and supervisor, while Jessie Dean, her “middle boy” and self-proclaimed “glue of the family” is her trusted tour partner and sounding board in this home buying journey. Now, they’re teaming up to find the perfect beach home for Mom!

Jessie Anne is ready to say goodbye to the endless upkeep of her current home in favor of a fresh start in Galveston. After years of dealing with yard work, home repairs, and the emotional weight of the family house, she’s ready for a low-maintenance beachside condo or townhome; something with a great maintenance team so she can focus on what brings her joy: creating art, shell hunting, and kayaking. With a budget of $300,000 to $400,000, she’s hoping for a three-bedroom, two-bath property with space for an art studio and visiting family, plus a clean, relaxing pool. It’s not just a move, it’s a meaningful step toward a new chapter and a fresh legacy, one that involves parting with memories and belongings from her late husband.

For Jessie Dean, the move is just as important. He's hoping to ease his own worries about his mom’s aging home, no more busted pipes or septic emergencies, and to put an end to the “honey-do” lists that come with every visit. With a sharp eye for detail, a background in carpentry, and a passion for remodeling, Jessie Dean approaches each property with a critical lens, often clashing with his mom’s more emotional, aesthetic take. Still, their banter and bond shine through. In his words, finding the right home will be a “burden off my shoulders” and a huge step toward ensuring his mom’s comfort, safety, and happiness.
