Meet The Peplers
We’re Ian and Sachia Pepler - a husband-and-wife real estate team leading The Peplers at Royal LePage Triland Realty. We know that buying or selling real estate is often one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. That’s why we combine a honest, relationship-first approach with sharp, analytical insight, so you’re never left guessing. Just supported, empowered, and one step ahead.
Before we entered into real estate, we both spent years in the financial world - Ian in commercial banking and Sachia in capital markets. We’ve each earned our MBAs and built careers around understanding financial markets, analyzing opportunities, and helping people make informed decisions. Now, we bring that same mindset to real estate.
As homeowners, renovators, and investors, we’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, so we understand what it’s like to navigate all sides of a real estate transaction. Those experiences also led us to found Oak & Olive Homes, our renovation and design company. It’s how we bridge both sides of the process - we help buyers turn a house into a home, and sellers maximize their return through strategic improvements.
Outside of real estate, we live in Norwich with our daughter, Kate, and our two dogs. When we’re not covered in drywall dust or answering emails, you can find us hiking, cooking (bonus when its from our garden), skiing/snowboarding, or just enjoying a puzzle around the kitchen table.
We’re Also Just
Ian & Sachia
We met during our MBAs and kept finding ourselves paired up - in class, in projects, and eventually, in life.
We always joked that the only thing keeping us apart was work, so we decided to change that. We realized that whenever we worked on something together, things just clicked. We challenged each other in the best ways and pushed ideas further. It felt natural - like this was how it was always meant to be. So when the opportunity came to turn that into something more, we didn’t even question it.
Renovating our first home lit a spark we didn’t expect. It wasn’t just the end result we loved, it was the process: the planning, problem-solving, and seeing our ideas come to life. That spark fuelled a fire for everything that followed in starting our two businesses.
We believe in working hard and enjoying it at the same time. We’re the kind of people who laugh through late nights, find joy in the chaos, and genuinely love working side by side. We hope that comes through - not just in our work, but in interactions with us too.
Family First
At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about.
Real estate may be our business, but our faith and family are our foundation, and the reason we do what we do. Whether we’re driving between listings, sending offers during nap time, or showing homes with a baby on one hip, this little team of ours is always at the center. We welcomed our daughter, Kate, in late 2024, and feel incredibly blessed to raise her in a place we love, alongside our very playful dogs, Elsie and Tucker.
We believe home is more than a place - it’s the people (and pets!) you share it with. We are so grateful we get to build ours, while helping others find theirs.
