Rollin W Ryan REALTY/PRO Real Estate Centers, Inc.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. My background is varied. I spent a large portion of my early adult life as an Antique Dealer and owner of an Art Glass Studio; dealing in many types of architecual antiques.

I learned the lost art of real, not hobby Stained Gass and Hand beveling after many years designing, building and repairing window and doors for sale. I was also involved in larger items of restoration and the selling fronts of buildings, salon back bars, front bars and lots of windows and doors being sent literally all over the country and the world.

My second career was sales. I worked in residential sales dealing with contractors, homeowners, suppliers and manufactures of different types of building products such as vinyl windows, doors, decking, fencing and siding. I represented as many as 22 states for sales and distrabution while dealing from the guy in the pick up to the Presidents and Vice Presidents of large corporations.

Experience in private labeling, mass distrabution and being able to train individuals and groups at ease has helped me in the real estate field.

Other life experiences being qualified to test for real estate appraising to value homes, raw land and commercial/industrial property and running a large building company for a while has broadened my base of knowlege so that when I am in a home or business.. I can look and see more than the average Realtor.

I decided I wanted to become a Realtor because it was something I could do with my own efforts and I could control my outcome. Funny, I went to work at the most successful company in Panama City with no Realtor experience and finished the year in the top 50 out of nearly 1400 other Realtors.

I was fortunate because I knew how to market property and how to deligate my time to be successful. I was blessed to nearly double my first year's volume in the second year in real estate.

Hard Work Is My Motto. Nothing Get's Done.... It Has To Get Done!

I started REALTY/PRO Real Estate Centers Inc because I wanted to offer not only the owners of property an alternative but, I wanted to offer Realtors a chance as well.

I believe in each of our abilities to be help by those of whom we are around. Our group of Realtors are dedicated to doing the right thing, for the right reason when it should be done.

Myself and any of our Realtors will be proud to assist you and your friends in the Florida Panhandle.

Please give us a call.

I enjoy what I do.
