Today, EmpowerHome celebrates the birthday of our founder, Debbie Reynolds, a visionary leader whose heart, faith, and purpose built something far greater than a business. From the beginning, her goal was to make a meaningful impact on families and communities, creating a culture centered on service and giving back to the place we call home. That mission remains our north star and the foundation of everything we do.

From Mission to Movement

EmpowerHome was founded on a promise to serve families with excellence while strengthening the communities where we live, work, and grow. What began as a local vision in the DC Metro area has become a national movement, reaching families across the country, including right here in Richmond and throughout Virginia.

Our saying “Sell Big, Serve Big, Give Big” is more than a motto. It is a way of life. For us, real estate has never just been about homes; it is about people, purpose, and community. Every family we serve, and every family our friends and neighbors introduce us to, gives us another opportunity to live out that mission, serving families while giving back to the causes that truly matter.

A Culture of Gratitude and Giving

Generosity is woven into the heart of our culture. In 2024, EmpowerHome donated over $600,000 to children’s hospitals, veterans and their families, adoption initiatives, and other life-changing causes. Our dedication to service and giving has also earned national recognition, as EmpowerHome was named one of the Top 5 Corporate Philanthropists by Giving for 2025.

While awards are meaningful, what truly drives us is knowing that every act of giving creates real impact. For us, it is not about recognition; it is about people, families, and the difference we can make together.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

Years ago, Debbie and Sarah Reynolds set a bold goal: Give Back One Million Dollars Every Year to Every Community We Serve. With your trust and support, that dream is becoming a reality. Each family we serve helps us move closer to that mission, one story, one home, and one act of kindness at a time.

As we celebrate Debbie’s birthday, we reflect with gratitude on her leadership and vision while looking ahead with renewed purpose. Her belief that business can be a force for good continues to inspire our entire team each day.

There is no better way to honor her legacy than by continuing to help others. Your introductions to your friends, family, and neighbors allow us to keep giving back to meaningful causes in our community. Every family served helps us create lasting impact and carry forward our shared dream of Giving Back One Million Dollars Every Year to Every Community We Serve. For every introduction you give, we donate to Fisher House Foundation and other worthy causes. If you or someone you know is thinking about making a move, Call or Text us!
