WE SEE YOU

overcome, and the impact they’re making on the people around them.

It’s easy to look at this magazine and see numbers. Transactions. Volume. Rankings. Awards. But I’ve never believed that’s what defines someone. What I find inspiring is what those numbers represent. The years of sacrifice. The early mornings. The late nights. The deals that fell apart. The clients who became lifelong friends. The moments you questioned yourself but kept showing up anyway. The courage to bet on yourself, the humility to keep learning, and the discipline to continue serving others at a high level. That’s what we see.

It’s why we tell stories instead of simply publishing statistics. It’s why we host events that bring people together instead of simply filling a room. It’s why we celebrate great businesses alongside great agents. And it’s why, in just a couple of months, we’ll gather Real Producers ESPE Awards. Not because people need another trophy, but because everyone deserves to know their hard work, character, and impact matter. At Real Producers, our hope has never been to create a community built on comparison. There will always be someone selling more homes, building a bigger team, or reaching the next milestone. Instead, we want to build a community that celebrates one another, encourages one another, and recognizes the greatness in others. A rising tide truly does lift all ships.

Recognition doesn’t create someone’s value. It simply reminds them that their value has been seen.

So, here’s my encouragement this month. Don’t just wait to be seen. Be someone who sees others. Celebrate a teammate. Encourage another agent. Thank a business partner. Tell someone the difference they’re making. You never know how much those few words might mean or how they might change the course of someone’s day. And if no one has told you lately, let me be the one to say it.

A Chapter in Their Story LeeBonnie

WRITTEN BY KATHERINE H. FONDREN

PHOTOS BY JIN KIM, URSPECIAL

Bonnie

Lee knows what it means to start over.

Today, she is a rising star in the Dallas real estate market, helping clients navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives while building a thriving career with Coldwell Banker Realty. But her story is not one of overnight success. It is a story of reinvention, and a steadfast belief that circumstances do not have to determine a person’s future.

“Your circumstances do not have to define your future,” she begins.

That belief was not born from theory. It was forged through experience.

Growing up, Bonnie enjoyed what she describes as a “fairytale childhood.” Her favorite years were spent on Cedar Creek Lake, where days were filled with family, outdoor adventures, horseback riding, and cheerleading. Her parents created a home rich in love and lasting memories.

“My father taught me the value of hard work, integrity, and perseverance,” Bonnie recalls. “My mother had an incredible eye for detail and a gift for making every holiday, birthday, and family gathering feel magical.”

Those early lessons became the foundation she would rely on throughout her life.

Long before real estate entered the picture, Bonnie built an impressive career filled with unexpected turns. She worked as a paralegal, earned five teaching certifications, taught school, launched a tumbling and gymnastics program, worked in medical sales, and eventually founded one of the few womenowned paving companies in Texas.

“If there’s one word that describes me and my career before real estate, it’s entrepreneurial,” she says. “I’ve never been afraid to learn something new,

take a risk, or build something from the ground up.”

Each chapter taught her something valuable. Her legal background sharpened her understanding of contracts. Teaching strengthened her communication skills. Medical sales taught her how to connect with people. Construction provided firsthand knowledge of property development and problem-solving.

What she didn’t realize at the time was that every experience was preparing her for a future she had not yet imagined.

That future arrived in August 2024.

Encouraged by her mother and a close friend, Bonnie earned her real estate license while still operating her construction company. Initially, she viewed real estate as a practical way to diversify her career. That perspective changed almost immediately.

“What started as a practical business decision quickly became a true calling,” she says. “The moment I began helping clients navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives, I knew I had found something special.”

Even so, the transition was not without challenges. Like many new agents, Bonnie entered a highly competitive industry and often found herself learning on the fly. Rather than focusing on competitors, she focused on serving people.

“I’ve always believed there is more than enough room for all of us to succeed,” she says. “My focus has never been on trying to be everything to everyone.”

Her approach has already yielded remarkable results. In less than two years, Bonnie achieved nearly $17 million in volume, earned recognition in the DFW Real Producers Top 750, reached Coldwell Banker’s International

Diamond Society, ranking among the top 7 percent, and was nominated as one of only five Rookie of the Year finalists across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Yet the accomplishments she treasures most are not measured in numbers.

“My favorite part of being a REALTOR® is, without question, the people,” she says. “At the end of the day, houses are what bring us together, but people are the reason I love what I do.”

For Bonnie, every transaction represents a chapter in someone’s life story. Whether helping a firsttime homebuyer, a growing family, or someone navigating a difficult transition, she views her role as much more than facilitating a sale.

“A home is so much more than four walls and a roof,” she says. “It’s where families gather, where children grow up, where milestones are celebrated, and where memories are made.”

That deep sense of empathy comes from her own experiences.

One of the most defining seasons of Bonnie’s life came when she survived domestic violence while simultaneously

facing the heartbreaking reality of her father’s battle with cancer.

“There was a moment when I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to survive,”

The experience left visible scars, but it also shaped her perspective.

“For a period of time, I had every reason to be angry, bitter, or to allow my circumstances to define me,” Bonnie says. “Instead, I made a conscious decision that what happened to me would not become my identity. I chose not to be a victim. I chose to become a survivor, and ultimately, a testimony.”

That decision changed everything.

Her father’s example became a guiding light through the darkness. Watching him face hardship with faith and determination reinforced lessons she still carries today.

“He taught me that where you start does not determine where you finish,” she says.

Today, Bonnie often shares that message with others who may be facing their own battles.

“Another thing I hope people take away is that mindset matters,” she says. “The stories we tell ourselves, the people we surround ourselves with, and the choices we make every day have an incredible impact on the life we create.”

Her faith remains central to both her life and career. One unforgettable moment came during her first year in real estate when she found herself overwhelmed and uncertain about her professional direction.

Standing after a run, she prayed for guidance.

“I said, ‘God, I need You to show me. I need You to make it obvious.’”

Mindset matters.

The STORIES we tell ourselves, the PEOPLE we surround ourselves with, and the CHOICES we make every day have an INCREDIBLE IMPACT on the life we create.”

Within minutes, she received a call from Coldwell Banker. That call ultimately led her to the brokerage where she has found success and support.

“Sometimes when we’re willing to be still, ask for guidance, and trust the process, the answers become clearer than we ever imagined,” she says.

As Bonnie continues building her business, her goals remain rooted in service, growth, and impact. She hopes to expand her presence as a Farm & Ranch and Luxury Real Estate Specialist while continuing to encourage others through her own story.

More than anything, she wants her life to be remembered not for achievements, awards, or sales volume, but for the people she touched along the way.

“If my story teaches anything, I hope it’s that your circumstances do not define your future,” Bonnie says. “You can be a testimony instead of a statistic. You can choose hope over fear, growth over excuses, and purpose over limitations. And sometimes, that choice changes everything.”

For Bonnie Lee, it already has.

Gifts GrazeOF

People rarely remember every item that was served at an event. They remember the laughter that lingered around the table, the conversations that unfolded naturally, and the feeling of being genuinely welcomed. For Eileen Torres, founder of Gifts of Graze, that distinction has shaped every decision she has made since launching her business.

She is quick to point out that her work has never been about arranging cheese, fruit, and artisan accompaniments into beautiful displays. Instead, she sees every grazing table as an opportunity to bring people closer together.

“For me, charcuterie has never just been about food,” she says. “It’s about creating connection.”

That philosophy has helped Gifts of Graze become much more than a catering company across the DallasFort Worth Metroplex. It has become a trusted partner for real estate agents, corporations, families, and event professionals who understand that every gathering tells a story.

Eileen specializes in luxury charcuterie experiences, from intimate boards and individual grazing cups to expansive tables for weddings, client appreciation events, corporate

celebrations, grand openings, and open houses. Whether serving twenty guests or two hundred, her objective remains the same.

“Our goal is simple: to create memorable experiences that bring people together while taking the stress completely off our clients.”

Those words reflect not only the service she provides but also the mindset behind every event she accepts.

Originally from California, Eileen has proudly called Texas home for many years. While Gifts of Graze has become one of the most fulfilling chapters of her life, it is not her only profession. She also works full time as a safety and quality engineer, a career that has shaped her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

“Professionally, working as a safety and quality engineer probably explains why I’m meticulous about organization, food safety, systems, and attention to detail.”

That unique combination of engineering precision and creative hospitality allows her to offer something clients immediately recognize. Every display feels artistic, yet every detail has been carefully planned long before the first guest arrives.

Her emphasis on professionalism extends beyond presentation.

“I don’t believe I’m simply selling charcuterie,” she explains. “I’m selling peace of mind.”

I don’t believe I’m simply selling charcuterie.

I’M SELLING

PEACE OF MIND.”

Clients know they can trust her to manage every detail, from communication and logistics to food safety and flawless presentation. Licensed, insured, and professionally trained in food safety, Eileen believes beautiful food should always be safe food.

That level of preparation has earned something even more valuable than repeat business.

“I also intentionally keep my business relationshipfocused rather than transaction-focused. Many of my clients become repeat clients AND friends.”

Those relationships are especially meaningful within the real estate community, where every interaction contributes to a professional’s reputation. Eileen understands that a real estate event is never just another appointment on the calendar.

“Whether it’s an open house, broker’s open, appreciation

event, closing celebration, or networking mixer, the experience matters,” she says. “I become an extension of their brand.”

Rather than simply providing refreshments, she helps agents create lasting impressions with their clients. Every grazing table becomes another opportunity for conversations to begin, friendships to grow, and trust to deepen.

“When guests walk into an event catered by Gifts of Graze, I want them to associate that elevated experience with the REALTOR® who invited them.”

That perspective perfectly reflects what she hopes others see in her business. She is not simply a caterer. She is a relationship builder who helps professionals strengthen client connections while elevating their personal brand through thoughtful hospitality.

Her own passion for creating those moments began long before Gifts of Graze officially opened in 2019.

“I’ve always loved entertaining and making people feel welcome.”

As she explored the world of charcuterie, she discovered something much deeper than creative food styling.

“But what truly drew me in was realizing that I wasn’t just creating beautiful food, I was helping create memories. That realization changed everything.”

Today, one of her favorite moments happens at

the very beginning of every event.

“I love watching people walk into an event and immediately gather around the grazing table. Conversations start. Photos get taken. Business relationships begin. Families reconnect.”

It is a reminder that food has an extraordinary ability to bring people together in ways that few other experiences can.

Behind every successful event is a woman wearing far more hats than most people realize.

“The funny answer?” she laughs. “It’s mostly me!”

As a solo entrepreneur, she serves as designer, chef, purchaser, delivery driver, marketer, customer service representative, bookkeeper, and even dishwasher. For larger events, trusted assistants join her to ensure every guest receives the same exceptional experience.

Despite the demanding schedule of balancing a fulltime engineering career with a growing business, Eileen credits her success to a few simple principles.

“Consistency. Showing up. Continuing to learn. Taking care of people.”

She believes relationships are built one interaction at a time, and every client deserves to feel like they are her only client.

Her personal life reflects those same priorities. Recently engaged to what she describes as her biggest

supporter, she treasures time with her 25-year-old son and her mother, who now lives with her in North Texas after the family’s loss of her father several years ago. Whether they are sharing meals, traveling, enjoying movies, or laughing together during game nights, her favorite memories happen around the table.

Those experiences reinforce the words that guide nearly every decision she makes.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

As Gifts of Graze continues to grow, Eileen hopes to build lasting partnerships with real estate agents, wedding

professionals, and corporate clients throughout North Texas while expanding into educational opportunities and becoming synonymous with exceptional hospitality.

Ultimately, however, her greatest goal remains beautifully uncomplicated.

“I hope they remember how easy we made the process feel. I hope they remember the excitement when guests first saw the table. I hope they remember the conversations that happened around it.”

Because for Eileen Torres, success has never been measured by what sits on the table.

It is measured by the relationships that grow around it.

GOD’S NOT DONE DYLAN HERNANDEZ

WRITTEN BY KATHERINE H. FONDREN • PHOTOS BY JIN KIM, URSPECIAL

Transactions closed. Awards earned. Income generated.

By those standards, Dylan Hernandez has built an impressive career. In just four years in real estate, he has accumulated more than $48 million in career volume, earned recognition as Rookie of the Year, a D Magazine Top Producer, a Real Producers Top 250 DFW Agent, and a Real Broker Elite Agent.

Yet ask Dylan how he defines success today, and his answer has very little to do with production numbers. “Success means very little if it comes at the expense of your faith, your family, or your character,” he says.

That perspective was not developed overnight. It was forged through childhood challenges, military service, personal loss, and a growing understanding of what truly matters. Growing up in Kaufman County, Texas, Dylan learned early that

hard work was expected. Raised in a blended family, he navigated the complexities of moving between households while trying to find his place in the world. “I grew up in a broken family, but despite the challenges that come with that, I was surrounded by a tremendous amount of love and support,” he recalls.

Some of the most influential people in his life were his grandparents. Their wisdom, faith, and steady presence became the foundation upon which he would build his life.

His grandparents, affectionately known as Ito and Ita, played an especially significant role in who he is today.

“Ito constantly reinforced what it meant to be a man of character,” Dylan says. “Ita complemented those lessons

with her faith, compassion, and encouragement.”

One lesson from Ita continues to guide him every day. “God’s not done.” The phrase is tattooed on Dylan and etched into his heart.

During a difficult season of his life, it was Ita who reminded him that setbacks did not define him and that God’s work in his life was far from finished. Even after her passing, her words continue to shape how he approaches challenges, leadership, and service.

“To this day, when I face challenges or uncertainty, I still hear her voice reminding me, ‘God’s not done.’”

Long before real estate entered the picture, Dylan dedicated more than eleven years to serving his country in the United States Marine Corps. Rising to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, he led Marines around the world in a variety of demanding roles, including Drill Instructor, Martial Arts Instructor Trainer, Water Survival Instructor,

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE OR WHAT YOU’RE FACING, GOD’S NOT DONE .

and Professional Military Education Instructor.

The experience taught him discipline, accountability, and servant leadership. More importantly, it taught him the power of helping others.

“People are capable of far more than they realize when someone believes in them and helps them reach their potential,” he says.

His transition into real estate came unexpectedly. While attending Drill Instructor School, Dylan participated in a class about VA loans and homeownership benefits available to military members. What began as curiosity quickly evolved into something more.

“I realized how powerful homeownership could be as a wealth-building tool,” he explains.

As his interest in real estate grew, he found himself facing a crossroad.

On paper, his military career was thriving. He had been selected for a prestigious commissioning program that would lead him toward becoming a Marine officer, but he also knew it would mean sacrificing even more time with his family and missing more of the moments he could never get back.

Then everything changed.

After praying for direction, Dylan contracted COVID and was dropped from the program. What initially felt like a setback soon revealed itself to be something else entirely. “Looking back, that

moment felt like my answer,” he says. “What initially appeared to be a setback became the sign that God was opening a different door.”

That door led him back to Texas, closer to family, and eventually to real estate. He earned his license while still serving on active duty and began building his business during nights and weekends. As he reflected on the years and milestones he had missed with his family, he realized it was time to start a new chapter, one that allowed him to continue serving others while being present for the people who mattered most.

From the beginning, Dylan viewed real estate differently. “For me, real estate was never just about houses. It was about continuing to serve people.”

That philosophy became crystal clear during one of the most memorable transactions of his career. An older couple had found love later in life after both losing spouses and enduring unimaginable personal loss. Dylan’s role was to help them sell their separate homes and purchase one together. What should have been a straightforward transaction quickly became a maze of legal hurdles involving estates, missing wills, heirship affidavits, and out-of-state family members. Yet through persistence and patience, they reached the finish line.

“When we finally reached the closing table, it was incredibly rewarding. Not because of the transaction

itself, but because of what it represented.”

For Dylan, the experience reinforced a belief that drives everything he does. “Real estate is rarely about houses. It’s about people.” Those words are not a slogan. They are the lens through which he approaches every client relationship.

Although his profession has changed, his mission has not. Today, instead of leading Marines, Dylan serves clients, mentors fellow agents, and develops leaders with the same commitment to honesty, education, and servant leadership that defined his military career. “My role is to educate them, present options, provide guidance, and empower them to make the best decision for themselves and their families.”

Today, faith remains at the center of his life. His wife and children are his greatest motivation. Awards and recognition are appreciated, but they are no longer the measuring stick. “If I’m honest, I could lose everything tomorrow, every award, every transaction, every dollar I’ve earned, and I would still consider myself successful if I was making a positive impact on others, leading my family well, and being the kind of role model my children are proud to follow.” That perspective shapes both his personal and professional goals. As his business continues to grow, he remains committed to protecting what matters most.

After missing the birth of his son while deployed, missing countless sports and

milestones of his daughter while he was serving as a Drill Instructor, and missing important moments he should have shared with his wife while she supported their family at home during his military service, he learned a vital lesson that changed the way he lives forever. “The lesson that has shaped me most is simple: You can always earn more money, win another award, or achieve another goal, but you can never get back time.”

Perhaps that is why, when asked how he hopes to be remembered, Dylan’s answer has nothing to do with real estate. Instead, he hopes to be remembered as a man of faith, a devoted husband and father, and someone who always chose purpose over profit while making a positive impact on his family and the lives of others. And if there’s one lesson Dylan hopes others carry with them, it’s the same one his grandmother gave him years ago: no matter where you are in life or what you’re facing, God’s not done.

People are CAPABLE of far more than they realize WHEN SOMEONE BELIEVES in them.

HANNAH Conway

HAVING IT ALL

When Hannah Conway first stepped into real estate, she was carrying far more than a new set of coursework and career ambitions. She was caring for a six-month-old and a two-year-old, balancing motherhood with uncertainty about what the future might hold.

At the time, her husband, a pilot, had been furloughed from work during the turbulence of 2020.

Like many families navigating an unexpected season of change, the Conways were reassessing everything. One evening, they attended a virtual career hour hosted by Keller Williams Ellis County, thinking real estate might become a shared venture.

By the end of the Zoom call, however, it was clear who the career path truly belonged to.

“My husband said it wasn’t for him, but he encouraged me to get my license,” Hannah recalls.

So, she did.

In January 2021, while caring for her growing family, Hannah began studying for her real estate courses whenever she could find a spare moment.

“Every moment I had to read the material, I did,” she says. “Often while nursing our second child who was just three months old at the time.”

What began as a practical decision quickly evolved into something much deeper. Real estate became an opportunity for Hannah to rediscover herself outside of motherhood while still honoring the life she loved most.

“I was lost in motherhood and craving something more,” she says honestly. “I liked the idea of creating my own schedule, working for myself, and helping people.”

Today, five years later, Hannah has built a thriving business in the Dallas area

while remaining deeply committed to her role as a wife and mother to her two boys, ages five and seven. Along the way, she has become proof that success in real estate does not have to come at the expense of family life.

Her story starts long before real estate, in the small East Texas town of Elysian Fields, where she graduated in a class of around 80 students. She later attended LSU-Shreveport, earning both a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Specialist degree in School Psychology. Before real estate, Hannah spent six years working as a school psychologist, a career that shaped the way she now serves clients.

“Learning how to truly listen to people and their underlying emotions came from my education,” she explains.

That ability to connect with others has become one of the foundations of her success. Hannah believes people want more than market expertise during a transaction. They want someone who hears them, understands their fears, and guides them with patience.

“I truly believe that I have a way of connecting with people and making them feel heard,” she says. “I’m a good listener and try to really get to know people at their core by asking thoughtful questions.”

That approach has helped Hannah stand out in an industry that often feels fast-paced and highly competitive. Her business has steadily grown year after year, with more than $40 million in career volume and more than $17 million closed last year alone. She was ranked the number one individual agent in her brokerage last year after

previously earning the number two spot in 2024, in addition to being recognized among the Real Producers Top 500.

Still, Hannah’s journey was not an overnight success story.

Her very first deal came unexpectedly while shadowing another agent during an open house. The event became so busy that Hannah had no choice but to jump in and help.

“There was a lender working it with us and she had to tell me to get their information!” Hannah says with a laugh.

The clients eventually submitted an offer on the home and later hired Hannah to list their own property. It was a whirlwind introduction to real estate.

“It was like drinking from a fire hose, but I was completely hooked after that.”

The months that followed tested her determination. Between October 2021 and August 2022, Hannah closed only one piece of land worth

about $125,000. For many new agents, that kind of slow season could have been enough to walk away.

Instead, she kept showing up.

“I knew that I was doing all of the activities to create business, so I kept plugging away,” she says.

Her persistence paid off. By the end of 2022, she had closed 12 transactions, and her momentum has continued to build every year since.

Part of that growth came from learning an important lesson about balance and support. Hannah admits that one of her biggest hurdles was learning to stop trying to do everything alone.

“I’ve had to get out of my own way and hire leverage,” she says. “It’s terrifying putting someone else’s livelihood into your hands.”

That leap of faith led her to hiring Director of Operations Tash Bergman, someone Hannah now considers indispensable.

“She is my right-hand gal, and I truly couldn’t have achieved half of what I did last year without her.”

These days, Hannah’s definition of success looks different than it once did. While she admits comparison can be difficult in the real estate world, she has learned that achievement means little if it costs the moments that matter most at home.

“Last year, it was my goal to be the number one individual agent in my office, and I reached that goal,” she says. “This year, I have no desire to do that again. My focus is on being a present mom and wife while

MY

HEART IS TRULY ONE OF COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION.

having a thriving business.”

For Hannah, both are possible.

“I believe that both are obtainable with leverage.”

Her priorities remain centered on the people she loves most. One of her goals this year is to sell $15 million in real estate, but equally important is making memories with her family.

“My two boys are ages five and seven, and time is flying by with them,” she says.

Outside of work, Hannah enjoys reading fiction on her Kindle, traveling, working out at F-45, and recently learning Mahjong. Yet even in her downtime, her heart for people remains evident. She leads with kindness, collaboration, and respect in every area of life.

“I want to be remembered as someone who was kind and lifted others up,” she says. “My heart is truly one of collaboration over competition.”

That mindset is part of what continues to draw people toward her. Clients trust Hannah not only because she works hard, but because she genuinely cares. Whether guiding first-time buyers, navigating difficult negotiations, or balancing appointments with school pickups and family vacations, she does it all with intentionality.

And perhaps that is what makes Hannah Conway a true Agent on the Rise. Not simply the production numbers or awards, but the life she is building along the way. One rooted

A: In all of DFW, there are roughly 60,000 licensed agents, meaning there are ~15,000 agents in each of our four communities. We rank all those agents based off their yearly MLS sales volume. In years past, we congratulated the Top 500 Agents, and we still are, but in 2026, we are adding a other groups to our community… all in the RP Top 1000! These agents are in the top 6%.

Q: Who receives Real Producers Magazine?

A: The Top 1000 agents in each community will receive the digital magazine for the year. The Top 500 agents will also receive the magazine physically to their mailbox. Our RP Vetted Businesses also receive the magazine physically and digitally.

Q: Can I be featured?

A: If you are in the Top 1000, you have the opportunity to be featured! We love nominations and take them seriously. If you’d like to be considered for a feature, or if you would like to nominate someone, you can email team@dfwrealproducers.com.

Q: What does it cost to be featured as an RP Top Agent?

A: Zero, zilch, zippo, nada, nil. How, you ask? Because of the businesses that your peers have recommended, who partner with Real Producers, and invest in this community to support you. These companies have all been recommended by top agents and have been vetted by us to ensure they are of the highest quality. So instead of you paying $5k - $10k for this feature…they cover all those costs for you! Pretty incredible, right?
