Patrick is originally from Greenville Alabama. He is married to his high school sweetheart Tosha Fails-Purifoy. They have two children, a son, and a daughter. Patrick retired from the US Army as a Sergeant First Class (SFC) in 2010 after serving 22 years. After arriving to Killeen/Ft. Hood from Korea in 2000, Patrick and Tosha decided to purchase a home. Some friends recommended their agent. Not knowing anything about buying a home, they were relying heavily on the agent to guide them through the process. They met with the agent. They remember him sitting in his big chair pointing to all his awards displayed around the room. He talked about himself a lot. He never really attempted to connect or learn about them. They thought this was odd but hey, their friends had recommended him, so they went along. Ironically, the agent showed them the same three houses that they had found on their own. They chose one of the houses, which happened to still be under construction, signed the contract and left with the anticipation and excitement of moving into their new home in three weeks! When they returned in three weeks, the house was nowhere near being completed! They immediately went to the agent’s office to speak with him. He refused to meet with them or take their calls. After sleeping on their friend floor for another month all while Tosha was seven months pregnant, the house was finally completed! The agent’s assistant called and informed Patrick and Tosha where the closing would be held. They went with excitement only to find out they needed money to close on their new house. They had no money and had not been told about this by the agent. The nice lady at the title company made two phone calls, one to the agent who had not accompanied them and another to the Builder. The Builder graciously forgave the amount they owed to close. A few minutes later, the agent walked into the room, talking on his cell phone. He did not look at or acknowledge Patrick or Tosha. He signed a paper for his commission, turned and walked out of the room. For three years after they closed on their house, they would always end up talking about their home buying experience. It frustrated them that someone in such a crucial role could treat a vulnerable young couple with such disregard. One day Tosha said to Patrick, Baby, I know you would treat people much better than he treated us, then asked do you think you could get your Real Estate license? And as they say, the rest is history! Welcome to Blessed Properties, where “Our Service is As Ministry unto Our Community.”
