About Roger Rietsema | Panama City Beach & 30A

Meet Roger

I'm Roger Rietsema, a Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes, and I've been licensed in Florida since May 2003, so I've spent 23 years selling real estate in Panama City Beach. In that time I've closed more than 600 sales, and my clients have given me a 5.0-star rating across 57 Google reviews.

As a Panama City Beach Realtor, I work with buyers, sellers and investors across Bay County and Walton County, from the Gulf-front towers on Front Beach Road and Thomas Drive to the beach towns along 30A. When you call me, you get me.

I'm a member of the Central Panhandle Association of Realtors and the Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce, because I care about this community as much as the homes in it.

His focus includes beachfront condos, second homes, luxury properties, primary residences, and investment properties.

Roger’s perspective is different because he has direct experience with both real estate sales and vacation rental ownership. Through his work with Emerald Beach Rentals, he understands how short-term rental potential, HOA and COA rules, insurance, location, building condition, amenities, and resale value can affect a buyer’s decision.

For buyers, Roger helps narrow the search and explain the details that matter before making an offer. That can include condo rules, rental restrictions, building condition, flood zones, financing considerations, and local market trends.

For sellers, Roger focuses on pricing strategy, presentation, marketing, negotiation, and clear communication. His goal is to help sellers position their property properly and make informed decisions from listing to closing.

Roger is especially familiar with Panama City Beach condos, beachfront properties, 30A communities, and investment-focused real estate. He works with clients who want straightforward advice, not pressure or sales hype.

Whether you are buying a beach condo, selling a home, comparing investment properties, or researching the Panama City Beach and 30A market, Roger provides local knowledge and a practical approach.

Why I Look at Every Property Like an Owner

I also co-own Emerald Beach Rentals, a local vacation rental company. That means I see real booking numbers, real cleaning and management costs, and which units rent and which sit empty. If you're buying for rental income, I can get you a rental income projection from Emerald Beach Rentals before you make an offer, so you're working from real numbers, not a guess.

See how it works on my free rental income projection page.
