    Community Involvement
    At The Courage Group at ONE Realty, community is at the heart of everything we do. As longtime residents of Anacortes and the North Puget Sound region, we're passionate about giving back to the place that's given us so much. We actively support local schools, youth sports programs, and small business initiatives, as well as community events that celebrate the Pacific Northwest's coastal lifestyle. From volunteering at local fundraisers to highlighting local artisans and entrepreneurs through our media platforms, we believe real estate is about more than homes -- it's about strengthening the communities that make this region special. Our mission is simple: to serve our neighbors with the same care, transparency, and dedication we bring to every client relationship.
    HOBBIES/INTEREST
    Outside of real estate, Leah and Jon embrace the Pacific Northwest lifestyle they help others discover. They spend their free time exploring the outdoors, whether it's hiking along the Fidalgo shoreline, boating in the San Juan Islands, or enjoying quiet mornings with their dog. Leah is passionate about fitness, weightlifting, and the arts, while Jon draws inspiration from music, design, and local craftsmanship -- interests that often influence their creative approach to real estate and marketing. Together, they love supporting local businesses, community events, and the thriving arts and food scenes that make Anacortes and Whidbey Island so special. For them, life in the Pacific Northwest is about balance -- between hard work, creativity, and connection to nature and community.
    FAMILY
    Family is at the core of everything we do. As a husband-and-wife real estate team, we've built The Courage Group at ONE Realty around the same values that guide our home life -- trust, communication, and genuine care for the people we serve. We live and work in Anacortes, where we're blessed to live with our lovely pup, while enjoying the tight-knit, coastal community that makes this region so special. Whether it's filming for our YouTube channel, volunteering locally, or exploring the islands on weekends, our work and family life are deeply intertwined. We understand that home isn't just about square footage -- it's about creating a space where life happens, memories are made, and community thrives.

    We had the pleasure of working with Leah and her counterpart Jon during the sale of our home, and we couldnt be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful and professional. Their extensive knowledge of the real estate market truly set them apart, and they expertly navigated the complexities that come with selling a home as a military family. Leah and Jon were always available to answer our questions and provided valuable insights that made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

    Leah was amazing throughout the process of finding, strategizing, making an offer, going through escrow, and moving in to our perfect new home in Anacortes. Jon provided super helpful backup, especially during inspection (with his background in the building trades). Their great, positive energy helped tremendously in getting us through our exciting but also stressful transition. Couldnt recommend highly enough!

    Leah has been amazing! We thought that finding a house in our desired area and moving from another state would be difficult, but Leah made it easy. With us not being in the area, she was always willing to go and look at properties for us and take pictures and videos to help us with our decision. Leah has incredible knowledge of the area and we trust her opinions and recommendations. She was generous with her time and always ready to talk with us and answer any questions we had. Leah helped us find our dream home, and we can't thank her enough!

    Leah was incredible throughout our entire home buying journey in Anacortes. We spent several months looking at a wide variety of homes, and she was patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right fit. What truly set Leah apart was her unwavering support through our more complex inspection needsaEUR"she never hesitated to go the extra mile to help us coordinate with specialists and ensure we felt informed and confident. Her deep local knowledge and amazing network of trusted referrals were invaluable. Thanks to Leah, we found our dream home and had a smooth, successful buying experience. Highly recommended!
