Sarkie Ampim’s Global Take on Luxury Real Estate

Unlike most agents who measure success by zip codes, Sarkie Ampim measures his by continents. With a worldwide audience of over 100,000 between TikTok and Instagram, followers get a front-row look at the life of the realtor serving luxury clients across the U.S., London, and West Africa in both commercial and residential markets. 

“You have to understand culture without losing local nuance,” Sarkie says. “Trust looks different in every market. The way you earn it differs, but integrity is universal.”

Integrity Around the World

At the root of Sarkie’s approach is a singular dictum: universality comes from specificity. In the world of marketing, efforts to craft a universal message that appeals to every demographic often backfire. When a strategy becomes too broad, its impact dilutes, leaving a campaign that resonates with no one in particular. However, if you create something personal, something specific and full of detailed elements from your own life, you’d be surprised at how much those details can help something resonate with people, even if they don’t share those exact same experiences. To this end, Sarkie’s efforts feel authentic and earned across the globe. 

At Coldwell Banker Warburg, he handles everything from high-profile commercial properties to exclusive development with first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and ultra-high-net-worth clients. 

Sarkie’s Origins

Originally from Ghana, Sarkie brings a rich cultural perspective shaped by his upbringing in England and the United States. He began his career in real estate as a Commercial Real Estate Agent in Brooklyn, NY, where he developed expertise in property transactions and built lasting client relationships.

As he details, "Real estate moves quickly in New York, and Ghana is catching up fast. Both markets are full of energy, culture, and opportunity… You just have to know how to navigate them.”

He split his childhood between Accra, London, and the U.S., attending prep school in Pennsylvania before launching his career in New York’s competitive commercial real estate scene. “I’ve always been fascinated by the way people live, how culture, design, and opportunity connect,” he says.

Moving Up

Expanding his professional horizons, Sarkie moved into finance at Belstar Capital, focusing on project finance for infrastructure development in emerging markets. Here, he further refined his expertise in infrastructure projects in these regions and gained rare global fluency in urban growth. This perspective continues to inform every deal with accuracy and cultural understanding, whether closing projects to create boutique commercial spaces in Brooklyn and Manhattan or managing high-level international investments that channel diasporic wealth back to African soil. 

Despite his success, his passion for real estate drew him back to the field full-time. At the boutique firm Batra Group, Sarkie thrived as both a Commercial and Residential Agent, refining his ability to serve a diverse clientele across various market sectors. As he says, “It’s about honoring where people come from and where they want to go next. I see myself as a bridge."
