Meet Durid Sukar | Realtor, Proud Dad, and Strategic Thinker Committed to Empowering Homeownership.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Durid Sukar and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Durid, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success and the success of my real estate brand in Florida is my unwavering commitment to my clients and my belief that our true purpose is to help others achieve their dreams. This mindset was deeply influenced by my parents. My father, a well-known businessman in Syria, taught me the fundamentals of business, while my mother instilled in me the values of positivity, mindset, and the importance of helping others and always do good deeds in the world.

In the Florida real estate market, particularly in South Florida, I am dedicated to providing exceptional real estate services and ensuring that my clients’ needs are met with the highest level of care and expertise. Whether it’s guiding first-time homebuyers through the complexities of purchasing a home or assisting homeowners in transitioning smoothly from selling to buying their next dream home, my goal is always to ensure that my clients win. I firmly believe that when my clients succeed, I succeed.

Positive Mindset and Attitude
My positive mindset and the right attitude are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving success in real estate. I approach each situation with optimism and see obstacles as opportunities for growth. This perspective allows me to navigate the Florida real estate market with confidence and resilience.

Passion and Positivity
I am genuinely passionate about helping my clients achieve their real estate goals. This passion drives me to go above and beyond, making the home buying and selling process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. My enthusiasm is contagious, fostering strong, trusting relationships with my clients.

Problem-Solving Skills
Every client’s situation is unique, and my problem-solving skills are crucial in finding the best solutions in the real estate market. I approach each challenge with creativity and determination, ensuring that my clients feel supported and empowered throughout their real estate journey.

The Law of Karma
I firmly believe that what we give out, we get back. By prioritizing my clients’ best interests and focusing on helping them achieve their real estate goals, I create a positive cycle of trust and success. This approach not only benefits my clients but also brings fulfillment and prosperity to my own life.

Helping Others in Real Estate
My ultimate goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of my clients. Real estate transactions can be stressful and complex, and I strive to make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible. By providing education, support, and personalized real estate services, I ensure that my clients feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Faith and Purpose
Guided by my faith in God and belief in our higher purpose, I strive to help others and add value to society through my real estate business. This belief inspires me to go above and beyond for my clients, knowing that by doing good, I am fulfilling my true purpose.

By embodying these principles, I have built a trusted and respected real estate brand in the Florida market. My clients know that working with me means receiving not only expert real estate guidance and support but also a partnership based on mutual respect and a shared vision of success.

In conclusion, the most important factor behind my success is my unwavering commitment to my clients and my belief that true success comes from helping others. This mindset has allowed me to build a thriving real estate business in Florida that not only achieves financial success but also makes a meaningful impact on the lives of those I serve.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At Laurie Reader Real Estate, my mission is to turn the process of buying or selling a home into a positive and empowering experience. What truly sets me apart from other realtors is the diverse expertise I bring from my journey across the globe and my diverse background spans technology, banking, finance, and economics, giving me a unique ability to offer comprehensive solutions. This means my clients don’t need to hire multiple experts – I provide it all.

I specialize in several key areas:

• Helping first-time homebuyers confidently navigate the market with ease.
• Assisting Homeowners in buying a new home while simultaneously selling their current one.
• Implementing state-of-the-art pricing strategies
• Providing detailed market analysis and overall market perspective
• Using proven strategies to sell homes that didn’t sell the first time around
• Guiding clients from renting to buying their first home.
• Helping for sale by owner (FSBO) sellers with their journey.
• Helping clients achieve passive income through real estate investments

My educational and consultative approach often helps clients uncover solutions they never thought possible, making complex processes smoother and more achievable.

I’m also a proud host of ‘The Real Estate Talk’ YouTube Podcast where I host with my brother, Leo. Through this platform, we educate buyers and sellers, helping them make informed decisions and providing valuable insights into the real estate market. This has allowed us to reach and positively impact a wider audience.

My journey to where I am today has been filled with challenges, moving from Syria to Dubai and finally to the USA where I have settled over a decade ago. Each step required resilience and a positive mindset. These experiences have enriched my understanding of different markets and honed my problem-solving skills. I firmly believe that challenges are opportunities in disguise, and this perspective empowers me to overcome obstacles effectively.

I’ve helped many buyers achieve homeownership without the need of spending years of preparing and saving for a down payment and also assisted homeowners in selling their homes when they thought it was impossible after a bad experience with a previous realtor.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that true success comes from serving others. I never see my clients as just a paycheck or a transaction. I treat them the way I would want to be treated. My goal is to help my clients achieve their dreams and success, knowing that only by doing so can I achieve mine.

Our team at Laurie Reader Real Estate shares my core values of mindset, positivity, and growth. Their dedication and hard work are integral to our success. Together, we strive to exceed our clients’ expectations and create a lasting impact in the real estate industry.

In conclusion, what makes Laurie Reader Real Estate and I stand out is our commitment to client success and our holistic approach to service. By blending diverse expertise, a positive mindset, and a client-first philosophy, I ensure a seamless and rewarding experience for everyone. With the right mindset and a dedicated team, anything is possible.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Planning a week-long itinerary truly depends on each family’s style and needs, but here are some of my favorite tips and insights from my own experience in the area:

• Beach Day: For a fun day on the beach with my family, I usually visit either “Fort Lauderdale Beach Park’s Playground” or “Osprey Pavilion” in “Dania Beach.” Both of these spots are family-friendly with easily accessible parking, public bathrooms, and grills and tables for picnics. Just bring your food, drinks, and charcoal if you want to grill.
• Ocean Adventures: When it comes to enjoying the ocean, I prefer heading to the Marina in “Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach.” Here, you can rent a boat and head offshore for some sport fishing thrills. If fishing isn’t on the agenda or the sea conditions aren’t ideal, we take the boat to “Fort Lauderdale Sandbar” or cruise through the “New River,” enjoying the beautiful scenery and dining at one of the many great dockside restaurants. For larger group trips, the “Jungle Queen Riverboat” at the same marina offers fantastic activities and tours.
• Shopping and Dining: For a great mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment, head to “E Las Olas Blvd” (Fort Lauderdale Downtown), “Las Olas Oceanside Park,” and “S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd.” These areas offer a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of options for everyone.
• Kids-Free Hangout: If you’re looking for some kid-free time, even with them on the trip, “Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park” is perfect. You can leave the kids there for the day and pick them up in the early evening.
• Wild Experiences: For an exciting adventure, a visit to “Everglades Holiday Park Airboat Tours and Rides” is a must. It’s a unique experience that’s both thrilling and educational.
• Favorite Eats: If you’re in the mood for Falafel, Hummus, and Vegan food, “The Hummus House” in Fort Lauderdale is a must-visit. For those who enjoy Shawarma, Kabob, or Mediterranean Grill, “Shawarmaz Mediterranean Restaurant & Grill” is the place to go.

These are just a few of my favorite spots that offer a mix of relaxation, adventure, and great food, ensuring a memorable experience for families visiting the area.

First and foremost, I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to my parents. My father, who taught me the fundamentals of business, and my mother, who instilled in me the values of God, mindset, and the importance of helping others.

I also want to acknowledge my life partner and the mother of my children for being a consistent unconditional support throughout my journey over the last 15 years. Her unwavering encouragement has been a pillar of strength for me.

Additionally, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Xena, my friend, assistant and business partner. Her support, both spiritually and in our shared mindset, has been instrumental in my success.
