Toni Trease has spent over 23 years in real estate, starting with just five people in the group before building her career alongside the King family at Elders. In December 2023, that business merged with McGrath Northern Rivers, and today Toni serves as Chief Operating Officer and Partner across four offices: Alstonville, Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay helping lead a team that holds close to 70% market share in one of its core markets. Known for staying out of the spotlight, Toni's leadership has been shaped as much by motherhood as by decades on the job, grounded in a belief in giving people time, space and genuine support to grow.
In this episode, Toni shares the thinking behind McGrath Northern Rivers' standout onboarding process - one that puts culture, connection and community ahead of logins and systems, and gives every new team member a real sense of belonging from day one. It's a conversation about patience, trust, and building a team that lifts each other up - so are you building a team, or trying to do it all yourself?
