We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Thanks to the incredible families who have trusted us with their real estate journeys, we’ve been recognized as the #8 mega team in the United States for total volume and #9 for families served! We are thrilled to share this recognition from the 2025 RealTrends Verified The Thousand featured in The Wall Street Journal! We could not have reached so many without your trust and support! This honor belongs to every single family who chose us to join them in their real estate journey!

Doors Opened & Dreams Realized

Behind our $882.18 million in total volume are over 1,599 families who opened their doors to us, shared their dreams with us, and trusted us to help them on their real estate journey. In 2024, Reynolds EmpowerHome Team in Hampton Roads and Virginia Beach had the privilege of serving dozens of families—each one representing a meaningful move and a powerful story. Based on families served, we would rank among the top 10 teams in the region!

But these aren’t just statistics to us—these are real families, real neighbors, and real dreams fulfilled. From first-time homebuyers nervously signing their first contract, to growing families finding more space, to empty nesters adjusting to their next chapter in life. Each story has been a privilege to be part of. Each story has been a moment of growth.

You Impact Us Every Day

We believe in a life dedicated to impacting our community in a positive way – just like how you impact us every day! “Our growth is not just in numbers; it’s in impact,” says Sarah Reynolds, CEO of EmpowerHome. “We believe in doing work that matters… with families, with each other, and in our communities. This mission is at the heart of everything we do.” Every family we serve teaches us something new about what exceptional service truly means. Your feedback, your trust, and your most difficult challenges, have shaped us into who we are today. We’ve learned that buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a deeply personal journey filled with opportunity to continually grow and adapt so that we can serve each family better than the last.

Your unique situations have taught us that no two families are alike, and cookie-cutter approaches simply don’t live up to our standards. Some families need detailed market analysis and data; others need emotional support and reassurance. Some want frequent updates; others prefer to be contacted only when necessary. These lessons from real families have made us more adaptable, more intuitive, and ultimately more effective at serving the diverse needs of every person who walks through our doors.

Leading the Way for Women in Leadership

We are privileged to be the #1 team within Keller Williams and the #1 female-led team in the nation; we’re especially grateful to our clients who’ve supported our vision of doing real estate differently. In a field where over 70% of the top teams are male-lead we’re proud to break barriers and create new pathways for success. What makes this truly special is our commitment to developing the next generation of leaders through mentorship, innovative practices, and a collaborative approach that puts relationships first.

“As a proud mom, this isn’t just about rankings,” says our CEO Sarah Reynolds. “It’s about showing my daughters, and every young girl, that they can lead with strength, purpose, and excellence. Our success is shared. It belongs to every member of our EmpowerHome Family.”

Living Our Core Values Through Client Service

Our core values are our guiding light, we created them to hold ourselves accountable to what we believe truly matters in service-minded real estate. These values aren’t just words on our website—they’re daily commitments we make to every family we serve.

  • Integrity – Because you deserve honesty and accountability, especially during life’s biggest financial decisions
  • Coachability – Because learning from each other lifts everyone
  • Results-Orientation – Because your dreams and goals matter most
  • Positive Attitude – Because buying or selling a home should be exciting, not stressful
  • Commitment – Because you deserve a team that follows through on every promise
  • 2nd-Mile Service – Because you’ve shown us that going above and beyond isn’t optional—it’s what exceptional service looks like

How You Inspire Our Mission

Everything we do comes from the families we serve. Our threefold mission exists because of you:

We Impact FAMILIES because you’ve shown us the weight of responsibility that comes with guiding someone through buying or selling a home. Your trust during these emotional and stressful times drives us to be better every single day.

We Impact EACH OTHER because serving your families has taught us the importance of teamwork and support. When we support and lift each other up, we can better serve and grow from each other.

We Impact the WORLD because your faith in our values-driven approach proves that business can be both successful and meaningful. It gives us the opportunity to give back and be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Together We Impact The World

This recognition is something we’re incredibly proud of, it represents real families and real dreams. And it matters. But we also believe making a difference goes beyond real estate. Why this truly matters to us is being able to give back to those that most need it in our community. 

That’s why we’ve partnered with the Children’s National Hospital—an amazing worthy cause that provides unparalleled research and medical treatment for children in our community—regardless of their families’ ability to pay. Not everyone knows that Children’s National is a non-profit, they rely on the generosity of people and businesses like ours to keep doing their good work! And now, we’re inviting you to be part of their mission to grow and serve even more families!

Having the opportunity to support these families when they need it most is why we’re so passionate about serving families like yours every day! For every introduction you give, we donate a portion of our income to Children’s National and other Worthy Causes!

We’re proud to serve you. We’re proud to serve our communities. And we’re especially proud that, with your trust, we have the opportunity to continue supporting children in need and their families in a meaningful way. Thank you for being a part of this journey! We’re here for you, and we’re grateful to walk this path together. If you know of someone who is thinking of selling or buying a home, Call or Text us at 804-486-7388!
