Sara started her 35-year career in the property sector when joining CBRE in 1988, before which she worked as a business economist in London. From CBRE Sara moved to work for a small consultancy, Barber White, for 7 years from 1993 to 2000. In 2000 she co-founded Propex, a property investment exchange platform. These day’s we’d call in PropTech. Sara was fully involved in expanding the Propex user base from the founding 12 institutions to a well-established investment registration system used by over 60 major funds and 200 agency firms. The investment introduction platform ‘Propex’ (Property Exchange) was bought out by CoStar in 2007.
