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?

Impact & Influence is ranked among the top 10% of podcasts globally, a position it has maintained since launching on 1 July 2025.

What sets the podcast apart is its unique focus on the complete A–Z of building, growing and leading a successful real estate business. Unlike many industry podcasts that concentrate solely on leadership or sales performance, Impact & Influence explores every critical pillar of business success.

Hosted by respected industry leaders Kylie Walsh and Lauren Kirk, who bring more than 50 years of combined real estate experience, the series combines practical coaching, proven business strategies and insightful conversations with some of Australia's most accomplished business owners, industry professionals and specialist partners.

Each episode delivers actionable insights across topics including:
Trademarks and partnership agreements
Profitability, reporting and key business metrics
Culture, client experience and capability frameworks
Mystery shopping and quality assurance
Technology, systems and platform strategy
Leadership development, succession planning and business growth

These are candid, commercially grounded conversations where leaders share real-world experiences—what worked, what didn't, and the pivotal decisions that transformed their businesses, strengthened culture, improved recruitment and retention, and increased profitability.

Produced by Pro Podcast, new episodes are released weekly, providing real estate professionals with a trusted source of practical guidance, growth strategies and business insights.

Impact & Influence is authentic, solution-focused and deeply aligned with the challenges facing today's real estate leaders. Co-host Kylie Walsh, Founder and Director of REGROWTH, is a former Telstra Business Women's Awards finalist and has been recognised by realestate.com.au as one of Australia's Most Influential Women in Property. Together, Kylie and Lauren are licensed agents, accredited trainers and widely respected industry leaders committed to elevating business performance across the sector.
