Deborah Tomaro

Though she has been a Realtor since 2007, it took a pandemic to get Deborah Tomaro to open her own brokerage. 2020 was a year, for many of us, with a lot of introspection about what is important. As she did her thinking, she kept coming back to a quote from Bishop Desmond Tutu that has inspired her over the years: "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." She wants to do more little bits of good where she can, and where she is. Coupled with the movement in 2020 to be hyper-focused on local businesses to help them sustain through the pandemic, the idea of opening her own shop became a no-brainer. Listing exposure and marketing strategies have always been agent specific, not tied to brokerages. So she figured why not give the same great, smart service she has always provided, but also be able to make more of an impact on the community? See? No brainer. As part of stepping away from a large, national brokerage, Deborah reaffirmed her commitment to doing a little bit of good on a local level. Instead of paying the brokerage fees that go along with large brokerages, she is committing to keeping more funds in their community. One of the ways she will be doing that is by establishing a scholarship program. She has even become a member of the National Scholarship Providers Association to make sure her goal and commitment is legit. More details to come on the Scholarship program but basically a portion of each commission from each sale will go into a Scholarship fund, aimed at helping local people attend college. And by local, she means any of the counties where she typically works – Monroe, Greene, Owen, Lawrence, Brown, Morgan. Deborah is planning on 2021 scholarship funds to be focused on helping students whose income (or family’s income) has been directly impacted by COVID. She is excited, but she also needs your help. Without backing from a big brokerage, Deborah needs help spreading the word and keeping her business as strong or stronger as it’s ever been so she can keep building the fund to provide scholarships. If there’s anything she has really taken to heart in 2020, it’s that even the smallest bit of good makes a difference. And we can overwhelm the world.
