When I first met Sarita Dua I was instantly impressed by the way she runs her business down to a science. She was speaking on stage at Inman Connect talking about how she was running an extremely successful business but took all of this time to travel the world. As a fellow wanderlust spirit myself, I thought, “wow, she really has this figured out.” Getting to know her has been one of the greatest joys of my career and I have learned so much from her. Check out her 10 Questions below and see exactly why we think she’s so great!
Who has had the greatest impact on your life?
My dad.
With a new “smart” something coming out almost every day, what products amaze and astound you?
Weird basic ideas - like putting peanut butter and jelly together in one jar. Like why didn't I think of that?!
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
The President, seriously. My grandpa called me President until the day he passed away.
What’s something cool you’re working on right now?
A new luxury condo highrise in Portland, unlike anything our city has ever seen.
What is something you’re really proud of? Why?
My family. Because your kids do as they see, not as they say. I think we got lucky.
What are you going to be doing in 5 years?
Same thing as now with hopefully more time for travel or time at the Oregon Coast.
What’s an average day look like for you?
Start prepping the night before, check in with current and past clients, check-in with my team, and attend to client appointments. I love writing offers and taking listings and negotiating deals.
What do you regret never starting/doing?
I don't have many regrets and I don't think it is too late to start anything.
If life is a game like some people say, what are the rules?
Work hard but work smart, Help people. Have fun. You either succeed or you learn.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever got?
Have fun. There is very little you can't undo with an addendum so enjoy this.
