Sarah Faisal

hōm with Compass | Northern Virginia & Maryland

A fourth-generation DMV native, Sarah Faisal doesn’t just sell homes—she understands them in the context of the communities, stories, and lives that shape them. Raised in Bethesda and rooted in the Tysons and Vienna area for over two decades, her connection to the region runs deep, giving her clients an unmatched local perspective.

Before real estate, Sarah built a dynamic career spanning banking, startup operations, and consulting for emerging businesses across Washington, DC and Silicon Valley. That foundation sharpened her ability to think strategically, solve complex problems quickly, and navigate high-pressure situations with clarity and confidence—skills that now define her approach in real estate.

Today, as the founder of hōm with Compass, Sarah delivers a level of service that is both elevated and deeply personal. Known for her sharp instincts, relentless work ethic, and refined attention to detail, she approaches every transaction with precision, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to her clients. Her style blends high-level negotiation strategy with genuine empathy, ensuring her clients feel informed, protected, and confident every step of the way.

But what truly sets Sarah apart is her purpose.

She is the founder of The Vienna Dog Pack, a thriving local community built to connect dog owners and strengthen the fabric of the area. Beyond that, she is an active lost dog search and rescue volunteer—often dropping everything to help reunite missing dogs with their families. From late-night stakeouts and tracking efforts to educating the public on how to safely recover lost pets, Sarah has become a trusted leader in a space where calm, strategy, and compassion are critical.

This work is not casual. It demands time, energy, and personal sacrifice. And it is fueled entirely by heart.

For Sarah, real estate is more than a profession—it is the engine that powers her ability to give back. Every client she serves directly supports her mission to reunite families with their beloved pets and strengthen the community she calls home.

Her philosophy is simple:
Home is not just a place—it’s where life happens, where connection lives, and where we belong.

When she’s not working with clients or out in the field on a rescue, Sarah enjoys traveling, baking, and spending time with her family and her three dogs, Mamba, Muggsy, and Mookie—the inspiration behind it all
