The Digital Land Broker: Chip Bubela

A Broker’s Journey: Chip Bubela, From Gyms to Land Brokerage

Micayla Weathers Marketing Coordinator

In this episode of The Digital Land Broker, we sit down with Chip Bubela, founder and broker of Bubela Real Estate, to explore his entrepreneurial journey across multiple industries and his eventual focus on land brokerage.

Unlike many in the industry, Chip didn’t start in real estate. His career path took him from owning a gym to running an insurance agency, all while leaning on the entrepreneurial spirit he inherited from his family. Both of his grandfathers were entrepreneurs who built businesses from the ground up — and Chip carried that same drive into everything he pursued.

Through trial, risk-taking, and a deep love for entrepreneurship, Chip established Bubela Real Estate as a trusted firm in Texas, helping clients navigate the complex world of land and rural properties.

Whether you’re an aspiring broker, a seasoned land agent, or simply someone who loves business stories, this episode offers inspiration and lessons from someone who has worn many hats and built lasting success.
