Hi, I'm Tory Akene
Tory Akene is the Business Manager at Kathleen Black International, where she plays a key leadership role in supporting the vision, systems, and success of high-performance coaching clients. With a background as a licensed REALTOR® and certified AI agent, Tory brings a powerful blend of strategic insight, operational excellence, and human connection to everything she does.
As both a coach and business builder, Tory supports agents and teams in implementing the systems, tools, and mindset shifts needed to scale sustainably. She's passionate about helping entrepreneurs work smarter, not harder, by using practical frameworks, custom strategies, and cutting-edge AI tools to streamline their growth.
A trusted guide throughout the client journey, Tory ensures every agent feels seen, supported, and set up for success. Whether she's hosting a live event, leading a team training, or designing backend systems that drive results, her mission remains the same: to help people unlock their full potential and build businesses that serve their lives, not run them.
Outside of her work with KBI, Tory is a mom of two, a community builder, and an advocate for collaboration over competition in the real estate industry.

What makes The Tory Network different
AI-Powered Insights
As one of the first AI-certified REALTORS®, I use data-driven tools to analyze market trends, price accurately, and give you an edge that most agents simply don't have.
Relationship First
I'm not here for a single transaction. I'm here to build a relationship that lasts. My clients become part of a community, and many come back for their next home and refer their closest friends.
Coaching Expertise
Working with one of North America's top coaching companies means I bring proven strategies, not guesswork. I understand the systems and mindset needed to succeed in this market.
Local Knowledge
Hamilton isn't just where I work, it's where I live and raise my family. I know the schools, the neighbourhoods, the hidden gems, and the market shifts that matter to you.
Clear Communication
No jargon, no pressure, no ghosting. I believe in honest, straightforward conversations and making sure you feel informed and confident at every step of the process.
Educational Content
Through my YouTube channel and blog, I help aspiring REALTORS® get licensed in Ontario and share practical tips for buyers, sellers, and fellow agents.
Learn, grow, and get licensed
I run a YouTube channel where I guide students through becoming licensed REALTORS® in Ontario. From exam prep to building your first client base, I share real-world advice from someone who's been there.
I also share practical tips on using AI in your business, growing as an entrepreneur, and navigating the real estate industry with confidence and integrity.
