Additionally, she leverages her educational background and continued interest in marine shorelines to guide her clients through the issues unique to the sale and purchase of waterfront properties.

Leah was featured in the Washington RE Magazine, in which she was recognized as a noteworthy professional to be emulated by her peers.

Also in 2022, Leah attained “Legend” status from Five-Star Professional for receiving the award for 11 years and counting, an achievement that less than one percent of realtors have earned.

Prior to real estate, Leah graduated from Evergreen State College and worked in HAZMAT response with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Admin and spearheaded a non-profit oil spill response cooperative for the San Juan Islands. In addition, she was selected to a Bainbridge Island citizens’ committee for the update of the Master Shoreline Plan, was a founding board member of the Bainbridge Island Wooden Boat Festival, and has been involved in or supported the following organizations: Bainbridge Prepares, Island Caregivers, Madrona Waldorf School, Shoreline Stewards, Beach Naturalists, Safety at Sea Seminars, The Schooner Martha Foundation, and Bloedel Reserve.

Aside from real estate, Leah is also a proud mother of two grown children, a dog lover, and an avid sailor. When she isn’t working on her latest remodeling project or managing her short-term rental property, she is most often enjoying life near the water—walking, kayaking, SUPing or even swimming in the cold waters in Puget Sound.

Whether you are relocating, investing, or just moving next door, Leah would welcome the opportunity to serve your real estate needs.
