Having grown up in the family business, I began my career selling real estate in the Panama City market over twenty years ago. I am a partner in the company as a broker and community association manager (CAM) and work with the firm's associates offering support and guidance as they build their business. Century 21 Ryan Realty, has consistently won Century 21's coveted Pinnacle Customer Service Award, the company's highest service honor. Years of experience and exposure in the industry have enabled me to build a strong base of repeat and referral business. After earning an Associate's Degree from Gulf Coast Community College, I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Communication. Professional involvement is an important part of any profession. I served as President of the Bay County Association of REALTORS® and have been active with the Bay County Association of REALTORS® for many years. I served as Trustee, Gulf Coast State College and am a past President of the FSU Panama City Development Board, which is involved in examining expansion and growth options for the college. I previously served on the Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce's Board of Directors, and with the Bay County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I am an active member of the Junior Service League and a past mentor at New Horizons Learning Center. More recently, many of my extracurricular efforts have gone towards supporting my husband Jimmy Patronis, who was elected into Florida's legislature as a state representative and now serves as CFO for the State of Florida. Our greatest accomplishment is sons Theo and John Michael.
