Sara's Profile
I had a volunteer experience in college that fundamentally changed the direction of my career. I noticed one child I worked with was often left without a parent picking him up. This child struggled academically and often acted out in class. Over time, I came to understand the reality: He wasn’t “bad” or unmotivated—he was homeless. The instability and stress of living without safe, reliable housing were impacting his ability to learn and thrive.
Seeing that made clear how deeply housing insecurity affects lives. In the fall of 2021, I was introduced to Russell Brazil, a top-producing real estate agent and investor in the Washington, D.C., area. He spoke with me about becoming an agent, something I had never seriously considered. More importantly, he introduced me to the idea of being an investor-focused agent, helping people throughout the DMV (D.C.-Maryland-Virgina) not only achieve homeownership but also build long-term wealth through investment properties and ethical landlording. For the first time, I had a clear vision of how to build a business around my passion for providing clean, reliable housing within my community.
Fun Fact
I have always loved working with my hands. I have accumulated a well-used collection of tools over the years. Some of my favorite memories growing up were spent working on projects alongside my dad and sister. Whether we were fixing something around the house or building something from the ground up, those experiences taught me grit, the importance of quality craftsmanship and pride in doing things the right way.
