Giles Willis holds a Bachelor of Business majoring in Property and brings early experience across several parts of the property industry. While studying, he worked with residential and industrial developers and completed a 10-week internship with Cooper and Company (Britomart Group), gaining exposure to how major commercial assets are managed. He’s also worked in sales roles where results depended on performance. Alongside this, he has served in the New Zealand Army Reserves throughout his studies. These roles have given him a grounded understanding of property, strong discipline, and a clear view of how to get things done in practical terms.

He chose Bayleys for its strong brand and active presence in the commercial and industrial sector, especially in South Auckland. Giles sees this area as offering the broadest potential for deal flow and long-term growth. As a broker, he focuses on being responsive, organised, and outcome-driven. His interest in property comes from a genuine enthusiasm for the transaction process and the role real estate plays in shaping how businesses and people operate. He approaches the job with clear intent: to build a reputation through action, consistency, and strong relationships—not just words. His combination of formal training and exposure to real-life development gives him a useful perspective early in his career.

Outside of work, Giles spends most of his time outdoors—boating, climbing, four-wheel driving, and travelling, often combining these interests by building trips around activities like Formula One events or mountaineering. He also has long-standing interests in finance, cars, and watches. In the past, he built a sneaker resale group while still at school and continues to organise large warehouse events with friends. His time in the Army remains a key point of pride, both for what it’s taught him and the discipline it’s instilled. These experiences reflect how he operates professionally—committed, focused, and not afraid to put in the work.
