About Us

You know the name of an estate agency, but who is the person behind the company?

Born in Malta in 1964 to a Maltese father and a Lebanese mother, Sara is one of five siblings. At the age of 13, Sara went to boarding school in the UK and then moved on to New Orleans, Louisiana to complete her O and A levels. She studied Hospitality Management at the University of San Francisco, returned to Malta, and formed the Company, Sara Grech in 1987. In 2004 she obtained her master’s degree in strategic management from Maastricht.

A mother of three adults, Benjamin, Semira, Hannah, and a grandmother to Louie. “Whilst being a parent you look to ensure your children develop good manners, self-control, and respect, as a grandparent you can take your focus off these responsibilities of discipline and chores and just simply have fun,” says Sara.

Sara enjoys spending her free time out with Louie and looks forward to her time with him. “The memories you get to create with a grandchild are cherished forever.” she goes on to say.

Sara notes that real estate has changed enormously since she started. The majority of business owners in the industry though haven’t. There are still more men leaders, and as a female leader, Sara makes it a point to speak publicly about women’s roles and opportunities, about growth, and paving the way for women’s rise to leadership. Sara feels that the clash between family and work priorities is the biggest issue facing women in the local workforce. Women still perform most domestic and child responsibilities, even when both spouses work full-time. “I brought up three children and it was sheer determination that drove me to do what I did, rather than staying at home. I could have stayed home if I wanted to, but I didn’t. It would have been much easier if I had, but I was never one to choose the easy path,” says Sara.

Sara’s advice for women in the workforce: “I hope that young aspiring female entrepreneurs will begin their careers knowing that compromise between living a well-rounded life and high performance is hard but not difficult. Our performance improves if we commit to working hard and understanding and knowing when to find time to ‘recharge’ ourselves.”

Sara says she is still focused on the business as she is on the other parts of her life – and enjoyment certainly factors into that. “I have never gone to work to earn money, but because I loved it and wanted to accomplish something,” she says. “I hope that that is how I will be remembered: as having made people happy – whether by giving them an exciting career or selling them the house of their dreams. I hope to have made other people as happy as this career has made me.”
