Rockford, IL has been home to Toni for over 35 years, and it is where she met the love of her life, her husband Brad. Together, they have raised their four children (Lauren, Aubrey, Josiah, and Jamin). Toni’s wide range of passions includes mountain biking, sailing, spending time with her grandbabies, and empowering people to be the best they can be in their careers and their life.
Toni started Sold On Toni in 2006 after losing a bet to her husband Brad who told her it would be a great idea to start a new career in real estate. Her experience in real estate purchases made her feel like a commodity. Toni felt like she was being sold a house, rather than being consulted. Once engaged in real estate, Toni discovered that when you take care of people, they tell their friends and their relatives. Soon enough, many people want you to assist them. What’s most important to Toni is for her kids and her six grandbabies to learn the hard, Midwest work ethic that facilitated her great success. It is the integrity in taking care of people that sets her apart, and she’s excited to model that!
