“This partnership with PLACE is exactly what we need to take our team to the next level. It’s about providing our agents with the tools they need to grow a successful, sustainable future.”

Tonya Harbin partners with PLACE to leverage unparalleled resources, training, and opportunities for agents to grow as her team scales.

ABILENE, Texas, April 2024 — PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Tonya Harbin and the Tonya Harbin Team brokered by Real are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Tonya Harbin, owner and operator of the Tonya Harbin Team, services Abilene, Texas and its surrounding regions, also known as The Big Country. The team has achieved remarkable success in serving more than 4,000 clients.

Tonya began her real estate career in 2007, and quickly established herself as a trendsetter in the Abilene real estate market. Her early career in real estate is a testament to her determination and innovative approach. “I started real estate and rapidly grew my business during one of the worst home-buying recessions in our nation’s history,” Tonya said. By 2011, she was selling over 100 homes per year with only one assistant. In 2015, Tonya began the Tonya Harbin Team, the first real estate team in Abilene, as she blazed a new trail and began adding agents and additional leverage.

Tonya’s foresight in adopting new technologies positioned her as a trailblazer in the Abilene real estate market. She was among the first real estate agents in the area to leverage Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology and IDX websites, significantly benefiting her business operations and client engagement strategies. By capitalizing on innovative client engagement programs, technology and fostering a team of highly productive agents, she quickly saw success in scaling her operations. Remarkably, her team, consisting of only 8-10 agents, consistently sells over 400 homes a year, highlighting the efficiency and effectiveness of her leadership and the cohesive, hard-working nature of the Tonya Harbin Team.

The Tonya Harbin Team evolved from Tonya’s solo career to a pioneering team in Abilene, embracing the challenge of scaling high-quality service and unique client engagement strategies. Tonya reflected, “We started the first team in Abilene to ensure that I was able to work with every client who requested my real estate expertise.” Their commitment to community and client experience set them apart. They were the first real estate company in Abilene to host client appreciation events and offer a free moving truck. This emphasis on building and maintaining strong relationships has been a cornerstone of their approach, ensuring clients feel valued and supported throughout their real estate journey.

Joining PLACE also underscores her commitment to creating well-rounded opportunities for her team members, aimed at fostering long-term stability, success, and wealth. “This partnership with PLACE is exactly what we need to take our team to the next level. It’s about providing our agents with the tools they need to grow a successful, sustainable future,” Tonya shared. Recognizing the potential to enhance her team’s capacity for additional streams of income, Tonya views this collaboration as a pivotal move to empower her team to scale new heights in the real estate market. “The launch program is a game-changer for us. It means that our new agents can hit the ground running, which is key for our team’s growth and efficiency,” she remarked. “With PLACE, we’re building careers and leaders. The training and networking opportunities available are going to be instrumental in our success,” Tonya said. This strategic partnership with PLACE is poised to unlock unprecedented growth and development opportunities for the Tonya Harbin Team, setting a new standard for excellence and innovation in real estate services.

Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE, welcomed the partnership with warmth, “Tonya and her team’s dedication to their community and clients is exactly the kind of passion we love to support. We are excited to welcome her to the PLACE community!”

Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE, echoed this sentiment, “Tonya’s vision for growth and excellence aligns perfectly with PLACE’s mission. We’re thrilled to collaborate and watch the Tonya Harbin Team soar even higher.”
