Your connection to Kāpiti.

Real estate agent, former district councillor, business owner, flower grower, footwear designer — a life lived locally, and a career built on connecting people to this coast.

Angela Buswell — real estate agent and community connector on the Kāpiti Coast

II. About Angela

Not just a real estate agent — a community connector and trusted advisor.

With two years at Harcourts Team Group Realty, Angela is making a name for herself across the Kāpiti Coast — not just as a real estate agent, but as a community connector and trusted advisor.

Real Estate is all about connections and customer service, and that has been at the heart of my career.

She’s open-minded, non-judgemental and transparent, and her approach of “adding value” to every interaction sets the standard.

Kāpiti is home — she has lived in Raumati Beach, Waikanae and Ōtaki, and now resides at Hautere, where she and her partner have brought up their family enjoying the rural lifestyle.

VIII. Her Advice

Straight from Angela.

For Buyers

Sometimes the perfect house isn’t on the market right away. Look beyond the interior colour or cosmetic things and ask yourself — can you see your life there?

For Sellers

Selling your home can be stressful. You need someone who is open-minded, non-judgemental, and authentic to make that experience as smooth as possible.

IX. Get in Touch

Whether it’s property or the community — start a conversation.
