About Toni
After growing up in Te Aroha, Toni moved to Hamilton following high school and built a successful career in the fast-paced world of media and marketing with one of New Zealand’s leading media companies. After 12 rewarding years, a growing passion for interiors, renovation, and property made real estate a natural next step. After learning from some of the best in the business and playing an integral role in an internationally recognised real estate team, the road ultimately led Toni back home to Te Aroha.
Now celebrating five years with Property Brokers Te Aroha, Toni has progressed into the role of Branch Manager and has achieved more than $50 million in property sales. Her leadership, market knowledge, and hands-on experience underpin a results-driven yet highly personal approach to real estate.
Toni prides herself on building strong, long-term relationships and believes honest communication is the foundation of every successful campaign. She quickly identifies her clients’ needs and brings a positive, high-energy commitment to helping them achieve their property goals. Understanding the significance of every move, Toni provides calm, supportive expertise to ensure the process is as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Alongside real estate, Toni has completed her Diploma in Interior Décor. While she may have finished studying, her passion for design hasn’t slowed – she still loves picking up a paintbrush, refining spaces, and adding the finishing touches to renovation projects. This creative eye allows Toni to help clients see the full potential in a property and present homes at their absolute best.

Lee and Kristy
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Toni and the team at Property Brokers in several capacities over the years. I originally purchased the property through them, later used their property management services while it was tenanted, and most recently sold it with Toni’s expert help. Throughout the entire process, Toni was realistic, honest, and easy to talk to. Her knowledge of the market and straightforward advice gave me confidence that I was making informed decisions every step of the way. Communication was excellent. Even during quieter periods, Toni provided regular and accurate updates, ensuring I always knew what was happening. As we live out of town, she also went above and beyond by arranging practical maintenance tasks such as lawn mowing, lock repairs, and gardening to keep the property looking its best during the sale process. On the rare occasions Toni was unavailable, she ensured there was a reliable and knowledgeable backup agent in place, so nothing was ever missed. I would happily recommend Toni to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Her professionalism, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile made the entire experience straightforward and stress-free. I only wish she worked in our area so we could use her services again.

Dealing with the sale from Australia and being part of a Court managed sale, Toni & the team went beyond normal responsibilities and helped the whole process go through so much easier. We can’t speak highly enough about the communication and effort put in to help us through the process. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a first rate agent for your purchase or sale.

Mrs G Giles and Mr T Giles
We just sold our first home with Toni. She made the whole process really easy. She was quick and efficient in getting the property on the market, gave good honest advice around pricing, explained things clearly and gave frequent updates. We got an offer really quickly and we couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks, Andrew and Sarah
Ms S Turner and Mr A Candy
Both Julie-Anne and myself have been very impressed with both Toni's commitment, enthusiasm and positiveness with our sale process. We have had lots of highs and a fair share of lows caused by potential purchasers withdrawing their offers or sales not proceeding. Through this time (over 2 years) she remained a positive , determined to achieve the best possible result on our behalf.
I don't think she could have done a better job and the end result sees a happy purchaser, happy seller and a fantastic result for a top Property Brokers agent.
Both of us would happily reccomend Property Brokers to any future buyers with a special word of recommendation for Toni.
Many Thanks to all concerned
Brett & Julie-Anne
