Meet Stan & Paula
Stan and Paula Tonkin
Stan and Paula Tonkin have been helping Idaho buyers and sellers since 2005, and together they have sold hundreds of properties across the state. Whether you are searching for the perfect new home or looking to get the best price for the one you have, you get the experience, energy, and attention of two dedicated Realtors working on your behalf.
Their path to real estate grew out of long careers built around business, logistics, and helping people relocate. Paula worked for the Forest Service in Ketchikan, Alaska, helping employees move to and from the islands of Southeast Alaska. She then spent more than a decade at Boise Cascade Corporation in Boise, where travel and relocation benefits for employees were among her main responsibilities. Stan, a graduate of Boise State University’s School of Business with a degree in Marketing, built a career in sales and logistics. He originally moved from California to Idaho for its opportunity and outdoor lifestyle, and after climbing the government and corporate ladders in Idaho, Alaska, New Jersey, and back to Boise, and traveling the world for work, he and Paula returned to the Gem State for good.
