Nearly 10 years later, as Partner and Managing Director of Panama Equity, Kent strives to deliver a professional real estate experience through strategic initiatives that help level the playing field for foreign buyers and sellers.

Tedd Tennis
Tedd Tennis brings a seasoned understanding of land development to Panama’s most authentic and evolving beach region, the Azuero Peninsula.
Tedd first came to Panama with a passion for deep-water fishing and was drawn to the town of Pedasi, the heart of Panama’s farming and ranching region. His knowledge ranges from project development to land management and farmland, with a chosen area of expertise in beachfront properties and rice farming. Tedd manages the sales teams in Pedasi and Venao, and his region extends as far south as Cambutal.
When Tedd’s not working, you’ll find him either on a golf course or out on the water. Tedd also plays in a band at Pedasi’s most popular cantina once a week.

A compliment to his Panamanian real estate license, Carlos also holds degrees in Marketing and International Business (MBA). But as is so often the case with real estate, it is Carlos’ integrity and local knowledge that have earned him one of the region’s most respectable reputations.
When he’s not working, Carlos can be found hiking with his two dogs, playing soccer, or running on the beach. Carlos is also passionate about societal issues affecting Panama’s cultural and economic development.

Troy Rundle

Troy found his way to Panama City in 2013 in search of a tropical lifestyle and Latin culture. As a former motion picture special effects technician Troy has been in the business of dealing with all types of people over his movie career and he was looking for a change in scenery!

This experience and time spent studying Panama has lead to the transition into real estate, and being from Canada helping people find the right home or investment just comes naturally. Plus, having many years in construction has given him a leg-up on the competition when it comes to an eye for construction detail and quality.

Weekends at the beach, gardening and entertaining friends and clients are a few ways Troy enjoys his time away from the office.

Jonathan Clay
Jonathan Clay is a Virginia native and former Peace Corps volunteer who found that his cultural observations of Panama could be put to great use in real estate.
Since joining Panama Equity in 2014, Jonathan established himself as one of Pedasi’s most trusted real estate professionals.  He specializes in beachfront property and large development parcels in Las Tablas, Pedasi, Playa Venao, Cañas and Bucaro.
When Jonathan is not out showing property or exploring the Azuero countryside, he is either playing guitar with Pedasi’s most rocking band or playing cultural ambassador to visitors and locals alike.

Yarabi Martinez
Yarabi joined the Panama Equity team in 2017 with over 12 years experience in the real estate industry. Yarabi brings a strong work ethic and a great attitude, along with valuable insight having worked on both sides of the negotiating table – representing developers and as a buyer’s rep – meaning she adds value in any transaction!
