We recently had the chance to connect with Berblan Munguia and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Berblan, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
In real estate, the moments that make me lose track of time are the ones where I’m fully immersed in the details of building my brand, Bluebonnet Real Estate. Whether I’m touring neighborhoods, researching market shifts, or refining how I serve first-time buyers, I get completely absorbed in the process of creating something meaningful and lasting.
Real estate has a rhythm to it, each property, each client, each story feels different, and getting to help people find where their life will unfold is something that refocuses me every time. It grounds me in why I chose this field so young: because I love connecting people with opportunity, stability, and a sense of home.
Whenever I step back from the noise and return to the work itself, I feel like I’m finding myself again, rooted, purposeful, and excited about the business I’m building here in Texas.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Berblan Munguia, and I’m a 20-year-old Texas Realtor and the founder of BlueBonnet Real Estate, working under Keller Williams. I’ve always been a creative person. I actually started my journey in music as a child and did my first interview with Voyage Dallas back in 2020. That early chapter taught me discipline, storytelling, and how to connect with people, which are skills I carried with me into my professional life.
In the summer of 2024, I became a licensed real estate agent, and since then I’ve focused on building Bluebonnet Real Estate into a brand centered on trust, accessibility, and client education. Even though I’m early in my career, I’m committed to growing my business the right way: by building relationships, learning my market deeply, and offering an experience that feels personal and grounded in Texas values.
What makes my work special is the perspective I bring as a young Realtor in a rapidly changing market. I understand how overwhelming buying or selling can feel, especially for first-time homeowners, and I want to be the person who guides them with clarity, confidence, and care. Bluebonnet Real Estate is still growing, but it’s rooted in passion, purpose, and a genuine love for helping people find their place in the world.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was a quiet, creative child who loved expressing herself through art and music. I grew up as the only child of immigrant parents who worked incredibly hard, and even as a little girl I felt the weight of wanting to make them proud while still trying to understand who I was becoming. Music was my first outlet the place where I learned how to tell stories and communicate emotions I didn’t yet have the words for.
As I got older, life became louder. Expectations, responsibility, and the realities of adulthood all started shaping me in different ways. But the core of who I was which is being curious, imaginative, and driven those parts of me never disappeared. Those early influences are a big part of why I chose real estate later on. Just like music, it’s another way to connect with people, help them feel understood, and guide them through life-changing moments.
At my heart, I’m still that little girl who dreamed big and believed she could build something meaningful. The difference now is that I have the tools, the training, and the confidence to turn those dreams into a real career and a brand I’m proud of.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There was definitely a moment when I almost gave up. It happened during a season where everything I was building: music, school, real estate, felt like it was moving slower than I wanted. I was working nonstop, but nothing was clicking yet. It felt like I was pouring everything into this version of myself that no one could see but me. What stopped me from quitting was remembering where I started and who I’m trying to become. I grew up without a clear blueprint, so every step I’m taking now, building a real estate brand, creating educational programs for young people, chasing big goals is something the younger me never even knew was possible. That’s what kept me going. The thought that if I quit, the story ends right there. But if I push, even just one more day, the whole direction of my life could change. I didn’t stay in the game because it was easy. I stayed because I refuse to let the hardest moments be the ones that define me.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
A project I’m committed to, no matter how long it takes, is building a pathway for young people to understand money, ownership, and opportunity earlier in life than I did. That’s what my Hello Bluebonnet program is about. I want teenagers and young adults, especially ages 16–22, to learn the things no one really teaches: credit, savings, homeownership, financial confidence, and how to build a future instead of waiting for it.
This belief came from my own experience. I didn’t grow up with a roadmap, so everything I’m doing now starting a real estate brand at 20, creating educational platforms, building communities, buying domains, planning long-term ventures, comes from wanting to be the person I needed when I was younger.
Even if it takes years, even if I build it piece by piece, I’m committed to creating something that outlives me. A system that helps the next kid who wants more but doesn’t know where to start.
I’m patient with the process because the mission is bigger than me.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What are you doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years?
A lot of what I’m building right now won’t fully pay off for another 7–10 years, and I’m okay with that. I’m laying the foundation for things that take time, brands, education programs, and a long-term real estate presence across Texas. Most people see the domains, the landing pages, the content, or the consistency online, but what I’m actually doing is planting seeds for a future version of myself.
I’m building Bluebonnet Real Estate to be more than just my career: it’s something I want to grow into a trusted name for the next generation of buyers. I’m building Hello Bluebonnet because I believe financial literacy for young people can change entire families. I’m building systems, habits, and credibility that don’t blow up overnight but compound slowly.
I don’t expect fast results. I expect long-term impact. Everything I’m creating today is meant to serve the person I’m becoming in a decade, and the community I want to give back to. That’s the kind of work I’m committed to: the kind that takes time, but lasts.
