Hello, I’m the other Tony on the Toni Tygart Team. My name is Tony Patterson. I joined Toni’s Team in early 2003, after a few years as an independent agent with RE/MAX. I came to RE/MAX Elite to be with the best, and I know I’ve accomplished that! 

I grew up in Independence, Missouri and graduated from Truman High School. From there I went to Missouri State University in Springfield where I received my Bachelors in “Hotel and Restaurant Management.” Upon returning from school I lived in North Kansas City for a short time, and then moved to Raytown, then finally to Lee’s Summit. So I know the Kansas City area well! 

Prior to choosing a career in real estate, I worked in several hotels as a front office manager. Subsequently, I spent six years with American Identity as an account manager, a company that supplies corporate branded apparel and ad specialties. I decided I was ready for a major life change. I have family in real estate. Since I already had my license and had always had an interest in real estate, I quit my job and started real estate the next day. I haven’t looked back!  

I’ve been living in Lee’s Summit now for ten years, with my partner of seventeen years, and two Yorkshire Terriers. We are collectors of many things including antiques and have an extensive collection of glassware. Additional interests are entertaining and interior design.  

I truly believe I was meant to be in real estate. I have a passion for helping families find their new homes. That is why I chose Toni Tygart Real Estate, for the opportunity to concentrate on buyers and their needs. With the incredible Team I am surrounded by I now have the opportunity to focus on my buyers, and make them my number one priority. From start to finish I want my buyers to have a truly extraordinary experience.  

I was born in Mexico City. My family moved to Guadalajara, Mexico when I was 12 years old. I earned my high school diploma from The Sacred Heart School. I also earned an Industrial Design Degree from Colegio Motolinia. Subsequently, I worked for a construction company assisting Architects and Engineers while I was studying my Art Major from the Art Institute in Chicago, Ill. 

I relocated to the USA in 1983. I moved to the Kansas City area in 1986 where I fell in love with the area and the people and decided to make Lee's Summit my permanent home. I worked in the Travel Industry until 2002 as one of two International Corporate planners for Black and Veatch. There I took care of all travel arrangements, meetings, negotiations, conventions and all the documentation for corporate executives. 

I earned my Missouri Real Estate License in 2002, and since then I have been enjoying the real estate industry. 

Right now I am working on obtain my CIPS Designation (Certified International Property Specialist), since I have been making transactions in México, specially with investors in the upcoming Mega Port at Colonet in Baja, Mexico. 

I enjoy working with clients and meeting new people. Providing outstanding customer service is my number one goal. I believe that every client should be treated with honesty and integrity. Honesty and hard work always pays off and there is always something new to learn. 

I am dedicated to provide the highest level of service. My commitment has gone beyond the old standard of customer satisfaction to a new standard of customer delight, exceeding every expectation and in the process establishing a lifelong relationship. I am dedicated to identify and effectively define my clients' needs and goals, then help them achieve those goals through implementing creative and constructive marketing plans and using my negotiating tactics for their benefit. I tailor a customized 'concierge' service for my clients from the beginning stages of a transaction through closing and beyond. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors. 

I am bilingual in English and Spanish. My skills allow me to offer this additional service to our Spanish speaking clients. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
