In Real Potential, Sarah’s helping home buyers see past that one disaster room using her innovative thinking and real estate know-how.

Here are some fun trivia tidbits about Sarah Richardson that you may not have known:Sarah-Richardson-SwanDive

  1. Hidden talent: I can do a really good swan dive. [See photo on right. Photo credit: @sarahrichardsondesign via Instagram.]
  2. Favourite colour: blue/green, or green/blue – that allows me to combine two together.
  3. Favourite season: Fall. I’m born in October… changing leaves, turtleneck sweaters, fires; there’s no better season.
  4. How many siblings do you have: I have three; I have an older brother and two younger half-brothers.
  5. Best vacation you ever took: My honeymoon because it was so special and amazing, but I would say we love family vacations with our kids in Harbour Island, Bahamas – pink sand beaches and sand castles…
  6. Most recent book you read: Curious George Goes to the Hospital.
  7. How do you take your coffee: Mostly milk and espresso – homemade lattes; just milk in the microwave, espresso, done!
  8. Favourite subject when you were in school: Art.
  9. Favourite flea market find:  Every last thing that I’ve bought! But a flea market thing that I buy on a regular basis: antique quilts or vintage ceramics. Or the answer would be: I usually need a truck after every flea market.
  10. What was your first job as a child? So my first job for a company that I worked for was, Club Monaco when I was 15 years old. But my job before that was when I was about 10 years old, I started doing the laundry at home and getting paid for it, and doing a little bit of ironing. And then my mom realized that I changed my clothes three times a day, and that she was just paying me to do my own laundry! So that ended. I’m really good at ironing men’s dress shirts, I could teach a lesson on that.
  11. Favourite thing to do on a rainy day: Bake with my kids.
  12. Guilty pleasure: Chardonnay and chocolate! Or cheese fondue, and a fire on a rainy day, with my husband.
