Sharath Rao | Sales Principal

Sharath Rao has never been afraid to back himself.

Before real estate, Sharath built and successfully ran his own hospitality business in Geelong. It was there that he developed an appreciation for what ultimately makes any business successful — understanding people, delivering on promises and building relationships that bring customers back.

When Sharath entered real estate in 2023, he brought that same entrepreneurial mindset with him. His progression was rapid. Within his first year, he established himself as a successful sales agent and progressed to become a Director of an established real estate agency in Melbourne's western suburbs.

But for someone who had already experienced business ownership, the ambition was always greater than simply building a successful sales career.

Sharath wanted to build a real estate business of his own.

That ambition ultimately brought him to Ray White. Recognising his potential as both an agent and business leader, Ray White offered Sharath the opportunity to establish a new franchise — and the question became not whether to do it, but where?

He chose Beveridge.

With Melbourne's northern growth corridor undergoing significant transformation and no established Ray White presence in Beveridge, Sharath saw the opportunity to build something for the long term: an agency that could grow alongside the communities it serves.

His ambition for Ray White Beveridge is clear — to build the leading real estate business in this part of Melbourne's north.

For Sharath, achieving that means much more than putting up signboards and selling properties. His vision is to build genuine relationships with homeowners, families, investors, builders and local businesses; to become part of the communities surrounding Beveridge; and, over time, make Ray White Beveridge a household name throughout the northern growth corridor.

As a husband and father to a son and daughter, Sharath understands that property decisions are rarely just transactions. They are often decisions about family, lifestyle, financial security and what comes next. It's a perspective that keeps the human side of real estate firmly at the centre of how he does business.

Sharath's journey from business owner to real estate agent, Director and now Sales Principal has moved quickly — but the philosophy behind it hasn't changed:

Build relationships. Work hard. Deliver on what you promise. And create something people want to be part of.

That is the vision behind Ray White Beveridge.
