We hope this letter finds you in good spirits! As 2024 is rolling in, we wanted to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This year has been quite a ride, hasn’t it? Navigating the twists and turns of 2023 has been a challenge, but we love a challenge because it’s an opportunity for growth! This year we helped so many families navigate the real estate market through uncertainty and high inflation.
We shared so many tears of joy with you through tough negotiations and the victories we shared were incredible, they made us remember why we became realtors in the first place! Sharing this journey with you this year was truly rewarding. Even when living through a time when ‘normal’ became a moving target, we stood firm in our commitment to help families find their dream homes and achieve their real estate goals.
As we reflect on this past year, we have our Amazing Client Family, Raving Fans, and community, people like YOU, to thank for supporting our team and allowing us to impact so many families. Over 171 families trusted us to guide them and their introductions through the home selling and buying process! We truly are humbled by this and are so thankful to have had the opportunity to serve them. We welcome each and every one of you to the EmpowerHome Team Family!
One of the most important things to us over the years has been our team’s continued growth and expansion to ensure our clients get extraordinary service. Seeking out talent to add to our already stellar team is a top priority! The extension of many real estate teams can mean a decline in client service, but that is NOT the case with EmpowerHome Team. As we often say, “Teams Win!” Our remarkable team includes Darcy McDonald, Allison Thompson, Andrew Burns, Casey Maack, Diana Valdez, Dylan Palmer, Emily Harris, Grayson Knight, Jordan Reagan, Karen Franquiz, Lori Johnson, Patty Peebles, Philip Bentham, Scott Gibbons, Shawn Wacasey, Sheri Stromp, Stephen Collins, III, and Tony Guajardo.
As we prepare for amazing things ahead, there are a few key moments from this year that stand out to us:
- On the top of the list is YOU and the HUNDREDS of introductions you gave to us. Many families trusted us to help sell their homes and because of this, we have continued to support Children’s Medical Center, local schools, sports teams, and more, with over $291,000 given in donations to worthy causes this year, all in the name of you, our Client Family!
- Our team of runners ran in the Army 10-Miler Race as “Team Fisher House” and raised over $36,395 for the Fisher House Foundation, thanks to a donation match from Debbie and Sarah! This is over 5 times the amount you helped us raise last year! We are so excited to continue that growth and give back to this amazing worthy cause!
- We continued to support our local schools with funding for student events and sports programs! We also gave out $5,000 in scholarships to local students at these schools to kickstart their higher education goals! We loved reading all of your entries in our scholarship writing contest, you captured the essence of our community perfectly!
- Our team supported Feed a Veteran 5k, an amazing worthy cause dedicated to providing warm meals to homeless veterans in our community. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to give to these families and help them through this challenging time.
- We have continued our expansion throughout the Dallas market and have found astonishing agents in the area that uphold EmpowerHome Team values while serving our clients!
- Speaking of expanding… with your help and the introductions you give, we are continuing to grow and impact more families! As our team has grown we have the opportunity and privilege to impact more families like yours, we are so honored to empower families and our community through one of the most significant parts of life—their home!
- Inc. Magazine recently revealed that EmpowerHome Team is ranked number 1,943 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies! We continue to grow and are moving up spots year after year! We are incredibly honored to be recognized alongside so many renowned small businesses and are blessed that our life-long vision to make a massive impact on the world is coming to fruition!
On the family side of things, I’ve been beyond blessed in 2023! Allison & I celebrated 34 years of marriage this year. It has been a joy watching our grandson Bennett grow, he is almost 2 years old and is such a cuddle bug! He’s spoiled by the whole family with hugs and brings so much joy. Allison and I love being grandparents and watching our children continue to grow into parenthood has led to so much reflection.
I have loved getting to know you all through our Truck Yard, VIP Dinners, and other Client Appreciation Events. Connecting with you and your families that we serve is one of our most cherished joys of being realtors.
We pray that 2024 brings blessing and prosperity to you and your family! We are committed to helping even more families reach their real estate goals, but we can’t do this without the help and support of our Forever Clients, friends, and family! We would be honored if you introduced us to anyone you know who is considering making a move in 2024. It would mean so much to us to be able to service more people, especially those who have been impacted by the economy. Send us their contact information, we will reach out and take care of the rest! They say, “To whom much is given, much is required,” and we have been given so much! Your introductions help us to return the blessings we have been given to monumental Worthy Causes, including Children’s Medical Center, and many more! It is our greatest honor to support causes bigger than ourselves, and the humility it brings our team is a fulfillment like no other! In 2024, we will continue to support these Worthy Causes that are dear to our hearts, as well as the community that we call home, thanks to your business and all the introductions you continue to give us!
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year. We wish you the best in 2024 and would love to hear from you if you need anything or if you have any exciting life events to share!
Here to serve,
Dan Harker
