Tommy Dunbar

In 2025, Tommy Dunbar led a landmark year for Old Colony, REALTORS®, guiding the company through strategic growth and transformation while honoring its deep-rooted legacy. As president and CEO, Dunbar oversaw an acquisition that expanded the brokerage into new markets, opened three new offices and strengthened its regional footprint. He also led the firm’s 80th anniversary celebration and directed a comprehensive company rebrand, modernizing Old Colony’s presence while preserving the values that have defined the West Virginia–based brokerage since 1944.

Dunbar’s leadership is grounded in a rare, full-spectrum understanding of the business. He began his career at Old Colony straight out of high school, working in IT, and over the next 27 years held roles spanning technology, marketing, relocation and finance. That experience shaped his people-first, operationally disciplined approach and prepared him to step into the role of majority shareholder and president and CEO in 2024.

“I started here right out of high school, and this company has truly been my life’s work,” Dunbar says. “To now lead it as president and CEO, and see the difference we make for our sales associates, our clients and our communities—that’s been the greatest privilege. Watching others succeed because of the systems, support and culture we’ve built together is what keeps me motivated every day.”
