Sarah Faisal

As a fourth-generation native of the DMV, Sarah's deep-rooted love for the area runs in her blood. Raised in Bethesda and residing in the Tysons area for the past 21 years, she has a lifelong connection to the area.

 
Prior to real estate, Sarah built a diverse career in banking and managing operations for a start-up based in DC and Silicon Valley. She has also consulted on multiple start-up launches, honing her skills in problem-solving and strategic planning. Her introduction to real estate came early, growing up around the industry and developing a natural passion for it as a young child.

Sarah seamlessly integrates her diverse background with her love for helping others and believes in exceptional customer service, a genuine commitment to helping others, and an ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently. Her natural ability to think on her feet, juggle multiple priorities, and find innovative solutions brings a level of resourcefulness and energy to each transaction. Her honesty and integrity are at the core of every interaction, ensuring her clients feel supported and informed through every step of the process. Sarah’s mission is simple—she always goes above and beyond to exceed expectations, delivering a seamless, stress-free experience tailored to each client’s unique needs. Her attention to detail, strong communication, and drive to make every transaction successful make her not just a Realtor, but a trusted partner in one of life’s most important decisions.

When Sarah is not helping her clients, she is spending time with family and friends, baking, traveling, and learning about different cultures. Sarah currently resides in Vienna with her husband and two furbabies, Mamba and Muggsy. She founded The Vienna Dog Pack, a local Facebook dog community. A group she started to build and strengthen the Vienna (and surrounding area) dog community and to give back to her community. She actively works to reunite lost dogs with their families, often jumping into action as soon as a dog is reported missing. Her journey as a lost dog search and rescue volunteer began when a dog, who looked just like her own boys, Mamba and Muggsy, went missing from a dog sitter’s home. Since then, she’s dedicated herself to helping reunite lost dogs with their families—because for any dog owner, it’s their worst nightmare.

Beyond physically searching for dogs, Sarah also spends time educating the community on what to do—and what not to do—when a dog goes missing. She explains the concept of “survival mode” that lost dogs often enter and shares the most effective ways to approach a search. When families are too overwhelmed with shock and panic to think clearly, Sarah becomes their sense of calm, taking charge and guiding them through each step.

Her devotion means countless hours away from her own family, mentally and physically exhausting efforts, and significant financial resources—but her love for Mamba, Muggsy and Mookie fuels her every step of the way. From creating flyers, tracking sightings, and setting up feeding stations, to spending long nights monitoring cameras and traps, she doesn’t stop until the dog is safely home.

Every client Sarah has the privilege to serve in her real estate career directly supports her mission of helping more families and their pups reunite. Each successful reunion reinforces her passion for this important, heart-driven work.
