Deb Norman is a vocal and “hands-on” advocate supporting the efforts of non-profit organizations on a local, state, and global level.  Her passion is on making her local community a better place to live – not only for her real estate clients, but especially for our neighbors in need. Also known as the Little Black Dress Agent (branding her business around the poverty awareness initiative), she utilizes a qualitative approach for her Northern NJ real estate clients, ensuring an element of inclusion within our community.

Beyond the JLBC, she is a longtime member of the Mahwah Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and an active member of the Greater Bergen Realtor’s Young Professional Network (YPN) and Community Service Committees – supporting each committee in such projects as Bowling for Charity, Kids Against Hunger, Feed Our Community Day, Family Promise Dinner, Realtor Relief Foundation, Realtor Cares Foundation, and more.

Debbie was awarded the Greater Bergen Realtors 2023 Good Neighbor Award in recognition of her “extraordinary commitments to improving the quality of life in their local and/or global communities through volunteer community service.”

The greatest love of Deb’s life is her rescue dog Luna, a 12lb Shih Tzu mix – who she deemed the unofficial mascot of the JLBC. Her hobbies include travel, food/cooking, spending time at her family’s beach house in Long Beach Island, and reading.
