Welcome to The Change Agents
Welcome to The Change Agents, founded by Pete & Elly Bucher, where our mission transcends the traditional bounds of real estate to embrace and facilitate life’s most significant transitions. Our story is not just about selling homes: its about guiding you through change with confidence and care.
Recognizing the gap in trust and empathy with the real estate market, we founded The Change Agents to revolutionize the industry. Our goal? To turn every real estate transaction into a meaningful well-supported life transition.
Our reputation is for building relationships that last, excellent communication and negotiation skills and exceeding our clients expectations. Add to this, a wealth of knowledge in the industry and the ability to think outside the box and we are a team that comes up with creative solutions for any difficult problem.
We believe that the Real Estate industry deserves authenticity, excellence and innovation, so we made it our mission to bring it back into focus. Change Agents are people who want to transform an industry for the better. We set out to do just that with a mission statement: Earn trust, be excellent and be real. Coming from a hospitality mentality means people are at the forefront of what we do, providing exceptional service while developing true understanding and empathy for the people we work with.
We have been a dynamic duo for the past 20 years, both in business and in life, and have always been
on the lookout for new opportunities and challenges. Pete moved to New Zealand in 2002 from the
US, and we met shortly after. We have been successful entrepreneurs in multiple hospitality businesses and in the performing arts industry, and have two teenage children.
When you work with us, expect an authentic experience. We will make sure that you feel like you’re
working with people who have your best interest at heart while providing honest and professional service. Life is full of changes. We’ll help you navigate the big decisions and transition smoothly.
Our Mission
- To infuse empathy and understanding into every interaction, acknowledging the emotional weight of downsizing and moving on.
- To offer a strategic, informed approach to selling, ensuring decisions benefit from both heart and insight.
- To build lasting relationships, supporting families not just through a sale but through life's transitions.
Our Commitment
- Empathy-driven guidance
We understand the complexities of changing homes and lives. Our approach is tailored to your emotional and financial well-being.
- Strategic support
Beyond selling, we provide comprehensive advice on timing, market conditions, and future planning, ensuring you’re well-prepared for what’s next.
- A partnership for change
With the Change Agents, you’re not just getting real estate services; you’re gaining allies in your journey, dedicated to making your transition as smooth and positive as possible.
Join us, Pete & Elly, at "The Change Agents," and let's navigate the waters of change together. It's not just about moving houses; it's about moving forward in life with confidence and support.
