Bluebonnet sets itself apart from its competitors by providing excellent customer service in all aspects of the real estate transaction – from escrow, title examination, title insurance, to closing. Our customers actually enjoy the real estate closing process – we know you will too.

 

Our mission is to offer a customer-focused closing experience that is professional, high-quality, and enjoyable. As well as to be a trusted community asset that makes the real estate closing process as seamless and enjoyable as possible for the customer.

While focused on farm and ranch properties in the counties between Houston and Austin, Bluebonnet serves the entire state of Texas through strategic partnerships across the state.  We can handle pretty much any deal anywhere in the State of Texas for you and your clients when you CLOSE WITH BLUE®.

Vice President/Escrow Officer

Shane Nelson, President and Founder of Bluebonnet, set out to make a different kind of title company – one that focused on the customer and not just the bottom line or doing things “the way they’ve always been done.” Shane’s mission was to create a unique experience for buyers, sellers, agents, and lenders. Shane is an 8th-generation Texan and a dyed-in-the-wool Aggie. He was born, raised, and educated right here in the Brazos Valley. Shane received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M and his law degree from the University of Texas. After working for an international law firm in downtown Houston, Shane moved his legal practice to Brenham in 2015. Shane wears many hats as the Bluebonnet attorney, in addition to being a licensed patent and trademark attorney and actively serving as a Technical Master for patent cases in federal courts. Shane and his wife, Erin, live in Washington County with their three kids on a beautiful, bluebonnet-covered farm. They are members of Brenham’s First Baptist Church and Shane serves on multiple non-profit boards including the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and Brenham Pregnancy Center. When he’s not bulldozing or brush-clearing his property, he’s eating Blue Bell ice cream or making homemade ice cream, camping with his kids, or planning his next prank on the Bluebonnet office.

Escrow Officer

Carrie Poffenberger is Vice President and Head Escrow Officer of Bluebonnet. When Carrie learned of the vision of Bluebonnet – to make a different kind of title company – one focused on the customer – she jumped headfirst into the deep end. She immersed herself in the company from the beginning and quickly became the backbone of operations. Carrie was born in Brenham and raised in Bellville, Texas, where she continues to call home. She earned an undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies and Biblical Counseling from the College of Biblical Studies. Carrie has a special heart for mentoring young women and has been a large part of Young Life and other ministries. Prior to coming to Bluebonnet, Carrie dedicated most of her time to managing a busy home and caring for her family. She brings this experience to the closing table every time she assists a client with her thoughtful demeanor and helpful attitude. Carrie’s desire is to see her community grow in healthy and wholesome ways while staying true to the small-town charm and feel. One thing Carrie says about her experience in the title industry is, “I love being one of the first people newcomers meet when they move into the area. I take it upon myself to welcome them and make sure they know we love it here too!” Carrie set out to make sure Bluebonnet changed the landscape of closings and the title industry in the rural market. As that dream became a reality, Carrie solidified her commitment to the company by becoming Vice President. Carrie personifies the goals of Bluebonnet – to engage in old-fashioned hospitality while embracing modern technology to give our clients stress-free closings with Southern hospitality.
