Una Pietrangelo
Sales Secretary
Una has been with Cooper Newman for twenty years working at our busy reception desk undertaking numerous tasks. She handles all the administration needs associated with the sales department, whilst juggling phones, clients coming into the office and the demands of a busy sales team. Una has the ability to do several tasks at once and knows what, where and when for every file. Una is responsible for the training of new administration staff and keeps a keen eye on things to ensure everything runs as it should. Una is highly valued and something of an anchor point within the team. All of this is probably why she won Receptionist of the Year at the 2014 Australasian Real Estate Awards.
In her spare time, Una enjoys time with her family, going to the gym, cooking and playing tennis. Una’s commitment to client care is to be applauded.
