Tony Baroni | Top Tampa Bay Realtor and Team Leader
Born and raised in the Midwest in Illinois, Tony Baroni learned early the values that still define his business today: hard work, honesty, and delivering results through relationships. A graduate of Illinois State University, Tony earned his Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in sociology and psychology—an educational foundation that continues to give him a strategic edge in negotiations, communication, and client advocacy.
Drawn by opportunity and the Florida sunshine, Tony relocated to Tampa Bay in 2001 after graduating college and launched his professional career as a logistics consultant in the automotive industry. In that role, he consistently saved clients over seven figures annually per account through efficiency, strategy, and negotiation. That results-driven mindset became the blueprint for his future success in real estate.
In 2005, Tony entered the real estate industry as a mortgage broker, quickly discovering his true passion as a Tampa Bay Realtor. He joined a high-performing real estate team ranked Top 10 in the United States, serving as both a lead listing agent and buyer’s agent. After years of building his business almost entirely through referrals, Tony founded the Tony Baroni Team at Keller Williams Realty, creating one of the most trusted and referral-driven real estate teams in the Tampa Bay area.
Today, Tony specializes in helping clients buy, sell, and invest in real estate across Tampa Bay, including residential, luxury, waterfront, and investment properties. His deep market knowledge, proactive communication, and white-glove client experience consistently set him apart in a competitive market. Over the course of his career, Tony has earned more than 2,800 five-star reviews online and has helped over 3,300 families achieve their real estate goals.
Tony is a respected real estate leader and educator, serving on the Keller Williams Leadership Committee Board and training agents on listings, marketing strategy, sales systems, and scalable business growth. His proprietary systems for pricing, positioning, and selling homes have helped thousands of clients achieve exceptional results.
His accolades span 20 years and include top sales awards from Keller Williams Realty from 2007 through 2025, annual recognition for top listings taken from 2013 through 2025, and being ranked number one in all of Tampa Bay for total homes sold in 2024 and 2025 according to Tampa Bay Business Journal and Tampa Bay Real Producers. The Tony Baroni Team also ranked number two in the State of Florida for large teams in 2024 and 2025 according to RealTrends. His team covers the Coast to Coast of Central Florida with offices throughout Tampa and Orlando with a coverage area of South to Venice South, North to Ocala, West to the Gulf Beaches and East to Daytona Beach servicing all areas in between.
Tony is deeply connected to the Tampa Bay community, serving on local nonprofit boards and maintaining long-standing involvement in BNI, one of the world’s leading professional networking organizations, for more than a decade. His business is built not on chasing leads, but on earning trust at scale through exceptional service and long-term relationships.
