For Angela, helping someone create a new home is about much more than plans, sections and specifications. It’s about understanding how people want to live and helping them turn their vision into reality. With extensive experience in property and home sales across New Zealand and Portugal, Angela has worked in residential real estate, house and land packages, off-plan developments and design-and-build projects. She particularly enjoys the new-build journey, where understanding her clients’ lifestyle, priorities and budget can make all the difference. Before entering property, Angela spent more than a decade as a chef and business owner, running her own Portuguese restaurants. This experience shaped her understanding of customer service, business and, most importantly, people — skills she brings to her work today. Angela’s approach is personal and refreshingly straightforward. She listens, asks questions and believes clients should feel informed and comfortable throughout the process, never pressured. Originally from Portugal, Angela has called New Zealand home for many years and built much of her property career in the Wellington region. Returning to Gillies Group feels like coming home. Having previously worked with the team at Wallaceville Estate, she knows the company, its people and their commitment to creating quality homes. A proud mum of two, Angela understands that a home is more than just a property. It’s where families grow, memories are made and new chapters begin. Whether you know exactly what you want or are just starting to explore your options, Angela will take the time to understand what matters to you and guide you through the journey towards your new home. And when she’s not talking property, you’ll likely find her cooking for family and friends — some passions never leave you!
