Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM October 5, 2023 Duration: 30:34

In this episode, Sarah Ware shares her inspiring journey from corporate America to becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur, creating wealth in underserved communities and breaking down barriers in the male-dominated world of commercial real estate. Tune in to learn how Sarah's passion for education, data-driven strategies, and community involvement paved the way for her thriving business and her mission to transform urban spaces.

Sarah Ware is a trailblazing entrepreneur in the world of real estate and commercial space. After choosing not to attend college, Sarah joined First Chicago (now Chase) and began her journey in corporate America. However, her passion for real estate led her to invest in properties, starting with her first condo in her early twenties. Recognizing the wealth-building potential of real estate, Sarah focused on projects in underserved communities, aiming to create opportunities and address the lack of investment. She founded the Carter Ware Group and later the Ware Realty Group, both certified as minority and woman-owned businesses, to make a difference in the Chicago housing industry. With a strong educational background, invaluable mentorship, and strategic partnerships with leading firms, Sarah is on a mission to break barriers and promote diversity in the commercial space while using data to support investment in urban communities. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and insights.


Below are the key takeaways from this episode:

  • Real estate can be a powerful tool for creating wealth, especially in disadvantaged communities.
  • Building relationships with elected officials and the community can open doors to governmental contracts and collaborations.
  • Utilizing data, especially real-time information, is crucial for making informed decisions in the commercial real estate industry.
  • Representation and diversity are essential in the industry, and efforts should be made to increase the participation of women and minorities.
  • Being a pioneer and taking risks can lead to new opportunities and positive change in the industry.
