Meet The Straight Up Sarita Sells Team
Sarita Scherpereel
Real Estate Broker • Team Lead
Sarita is a home buying and home marketing specialist with over a decade of experience living in Chicago. Her personalized approach to her client’s needs focuses on partnership and support from beginning to end of the real estate investment journey. As a house hacker herself, Sarita understands the demands her clients face in the Chicago market and uses her personal experience to help work through issues. She doesn't believe that the client relationship ends when the ink dries at closing, and she is regularly in contact with clients about their rehabs, filling vacancies, and providing resources to new investors.
Before Sarita received her real estate license, she gained extensive experience in negotiation and communications while serving as Sales and Marketing Director at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Additionally, she broadened her knowledge of strategic marketing management by completing its Executive Education Seminars program.
Sarita has also spent years working within the Chicago Public School District by acting as a resource and advocate for non-traditional students wishing to complete their degree. Her time with CPS allowed her to gain valuable insights and develop an in-depth knowledge of local communities and the businesses, schools, and cultural amenities each one has to offer.
Her background as a classically trained opera singer combined with years of experience performing improv and stand-up comedy has prepared her well for the quick and creative thinking required to be a successful real estate agent.
These experiences allow her to listen to clients effectively, assess needs, and develop a personalized strategy for success. Whether this is your first time purchasing property or you’re an established investor, let Sarita’s passion for real estate and commitment to her clients work for you!

“Sarita combed through what I can only imagine was countless listings and sent us only apartments that fit our wants and needs. When we eventually found the right place she negotiated the rent down to fit into our budget! I could not recommend her more, I was impressed through and through. Thanks Sarita!”
