Panel Proz was formed during a real estate industry trade show, Think Realty, when three panelists kept appearing on the same panels together. The running joke quickly caught fire with conference attendees when founder Jason Engelman began referring to the trio as the “Panel Pros”. After a quick registration of the domain name panelproz.com (panelpros.com was taken, much to our chagrin) and the rest was history.

Well, no, not exactly.

Nothing happened for an entire year as the “joke” lost steam. That is until Jason brought it up a year later to co-founders Romney Navarro and Chris Ragland on a panel at the Think Realty event in Houston.

And now, the rest is history.
