Bio

My name is Sharon Farinholt and I live in the Winchester, VA area. I am an entrepreneur and I owned a successful retail business in Winchester for 11 years before selling it in January of 2020. I began my Real Estate career in February 2020 and have quickly become a top producing agent in my area. I have a podcast called, Keeping it Real with Sharon, where I have conversations with the people behind the businesses in our community. I am a published author, The Marathon of Running a Business. My husband and I were High School sweethearts and have been married since 1985. We have 7 now adult children and as of now, 16 grandchildren. I am a runner and have raced in 8 marathons and one 50-Miler as well as hundreds of other races over the years. In 2013, I was a finisher at the Boston Marathon where I had just crossed the finish line when the terrorist bombs exploded. Fortunately, I was not harmed by the devastating attack. Over the years I have mentored many people in business and have a passion for helping women especially. I have sat on many area boards and served on many local committees. I am passionate about giving back to my community.
