THE TEAM
CEO & FOUNDING PARTNER
With over a decade of real estate experience, Angela brings a highly strategic, client-centered approach to Aldeia Realty. Rooted in her academic background in Speech and Language Pathology, she possesses a unique ability to navigate complex negotiations and ensure clear, transparent communication for international buyers entering the Portuguese market.
Prior to relocating to the Silver Coast, Angela built a formidable career in Greenville, North Carolina. As the founding agent of one of Eastern North Carolina's top real estate firms, she set the benchmark for the firm's success, consistently ranking as the highest-performing agent year-over-year and securing the brokerage's highest-value listings. During her tenure, she also helped design the firm's agent training programs and built a robust, referral-based network.
Today, Angela and her family are proud to call the Caldas da Rainha area home. Deeply passionate about Portuguese culture, she is actively involved in the local community and is dedicated to helping international newcomers seamlessly transition into the beautiful lifestyle the Silver Coast has to offer.
HEAD OF RESEARCH & FINANCE
Parvez leads strategic planning and financial structuring at Aldeia Realty, with a track record spanning executive decision-making at the highest levels. Prior to joining the agency, he served as Managing Director of a global consulting and advisory firm in North America, overseeing multimillion-euro engagements across advisory services, executive coaching, and corporate restructuring.
His experience includes direct oversight of board-level strategy, P&L ownership, and cross-border market expansion — all within highly competitive, regulated industries. This background gives Aldeia Realty a distinctive edge: every transaction is underpinned by rigorous financial analysis and commercial acumen rarely found in boutique real estate.
Parvez holds a BSc in Business Administration & Accounting from East Carolina University and brings an analytical, strategic lens to the agency's growth, investment insights, and long-term market positioning on the Silver Coast.
SENIOR REAL ESTATE AGENT

Having successfully relocated his own family from Greenville, North Carolina, to the Silver Coast, Patrick offers a unique, first-hand perspective on the logistical and emotional journey of moving abroad. His transition from the US to Caldas da Rainha has given him a sharp eye for the specific details that international clients care about most — from school districts to local infrastructure and community integration.
Now a proud resident of the West region, Patrick is dedicated to providing a premium, high-touch service that prioritises long-term relationships over simple transactions.

ACQUISITION SPECIALIST
With a professional foundation rooted in premium hospitality and international tourism, Telmo is a master of high-level communication and relationship-building.

We were looking at listings for houses we thought would work, however it was Angela who ultimately recommended the showing that ended up being our dream home. She made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
