Meet Doug & Lona Leugers
When it comes to buying or selling waterfront real estate in Southwest Florida, experience on the water can be just as important as experience in real estate.
Doug and Lona Leugers have been Realtors since 2003, bringing more than 20 years of real estate experience to buyers, sellers, investors, and families relocating to Southwest Florida. Over their careers, they have been involved in thousands of real estate transactions and have built their business around something simple: giving clients the experience, local knowledge, and straightforward advice they need to make smart real estate decisions.
Today, Doug and Lona specialize in Southwest Florida real estate, Cape Coral waterfront homes, Fort Myers real estate, Gulf-access properties, boating communities, vacation homes, investment properties, and relocation to Southwest Florida.
Real Estate Knowledge That Goes Far Beyond Buying and Selling
Doug's background gives clients a perspective that is difficult to find in a typical real estate agent.
In addition to being a Florida Real Estate Broker, Doug has experience in residential real estate sales, property management, real estate appraisal, commercial real estate, auctions, investment properties, and vacation rentals. That broad background allows him to look at a property from multiple angles, whether a client is searching for a primary residence, waterfront home, second home, vacation rental, or investment property.
Doug is also a nationally known real estate trainer and coach who has trained and coached more than 8,000 real estate agents and teams across the United States, including three teams that ranked among the Top 10 in the nation.
After spending years helping some of the country's top real estate professionals improve their businesses, negotiations, marketing, and sales strategies, Doug brings that same knowledge to the clients he represents in Southwest Florida.
A Waterfront Realtor Who Is Actually a Boat Captain
Southwest Florida is one of the most unique boating and waterfront real estate markets in the country. Two homes may look nearly identical online yet offer completely different boating experiences.
That is where Doug's background really sets him apart.
Doug is a United States Coast Guard licensed Boat Captain and an experienced Southwest Florida boater. He understands that buying a waterfront home isn't simply about finding a house with a canal behind it.
Can you reach the Gulf of Mexico?
How long will it take?
Are there bridges along the route?
What are the bridge clearances?
Is the water deep enough for your boat?
Are there locks or other boating restrictions?
How does the location affect access to the Caloosahatchee River, Pine Island Sound, Sanibel, Captiva, Boca Grande, Fort Myers Beach, and the Gulf?
These are important questions for anyone searching for a Cape Coral Gulf-access home or Southwest Florida waterfront property.
Many Realtors call themselves waterfront specialists because they sell homes on the water. Doug combines more than two decades of real estate experience with the practical knowledge of someone who actually navigates Southwest Florida waterways.
Lona's Southwest Florida Roots
Lona brings another perspective that's increasingly difficult to find: firsthand knowledge of Southwest Florida going back to her childhood.
Long before Southwest Florida became one of the country's most popular relocation destinations, Lona spent part of her childhood here and experienced the area's boating and waterfront lifestyle firsthand.
She has also been a Realtor since 2003 and brings more than 20 years of real estate experience to the team. Her background includes residential real estate sales as well as extensive experience with real estate title and closings, giving clients additional insight into what happens behind the scenes during a real estate transaction.
Together, Doug and Lona combine professional real estate expertise with genuine experience living, boating, investing, and owning property in Florida.
Helping You Find Your Place in Southwest Florida
Whether you're considering moving to Cape Coral, relocating to Fort Myers or Naples, buying a waterfront home in Southwest Florida, purchasing a Florida vacation home, investing in a vacation rental, or finding the perfect Gulf-access property for your boat, Doug and Lona would love to help.
Their approach isn't about simply finding you a house.
It's about understanding how you want to live.
For some clients, that means walking outside, lowering the boat from the lift, and heading toward the Gulf. For others, it's a pool home where the family can escape the winters up north, an investment property that can generate vacation-rental income, or a permanent move to Southwest Florida.
Doug and Lona help clients understand not only the homes, but also the communities, waterways, boating access, lifestyle, market conditions, and potential advantages and disadvantages of different areas.
After more than 20 years in real estate, they understand that the best real estate decision isn't always the most expensive home or the prettiest listing.
It's finding the property that fits your lifestyle, your goals, and your future.
If you're thinking about buying, selling, investing, or relocating to Southwest Florida, connect with Doug and Lona Leugers and discover what it's like working with real estate professionals who understand both Southwest Florida real estate and the Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle.

We shopped around a little for a realtor to represent the sale of our Fort Myers home and met Doug and Lona at another home’s Open House. From the minute we walked in, we noticed a difference in their approach.
They did a masterful job pointing out the differences in the home, the extras of the home, the possibilities of different arrangements to accommodate different families needs, etc.
They also caught our attention with their marketing efforts. They used a significant amount of bright signs along a major road letting thousand of cars traveling down that road that there was an Open House. No one was driving by not knowing there was an Open House in this tucked away "best kept secret of Fort Myers" neighborhood. This may seem silly but little things like this draw potential buyers.
Post engagement of Doug and Lona as our Realtors, they continued to exceed expectations throughout the process with their marketing, photos, Open Houses, showings by appointment, etc. They expertly negotiated the final purchase contract and closed the deal. Our home sold in about 4 weeks with two weeks being completely disrupted due to two hurricanes coming through in back to back weeks. We received a cash offer and closed within 30 days.
My wife and I have bought and sold numerous houses in numerous states across the country and have been fortunate to deal with many great realtors and even some who weren't as passionate about their profession. Doug and Lona rank among some of the best we've worked with over the years. This is not a side business for them. This is their craft.
Best of all, not only are they top performing professionals, they are also just likable people that you enjoy working with throughout the process. I would strongly recommend meeting with them to discuss your next sale or purchase.

Doug and Lona are wonderful realtors. I cannot express how pleased I am with their help from start to finish. They helped us find our dream home and sell our previous home very quickly with their experience and great marketing skills. They’ve been a joy to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realty company. We’re very thankful for everything they’ve done for us.

Doug and Lona Leugers are truly exceptional. When my wife and I started our research into the Cape Coral & Ft Myers area we came across their YouTube channel. The videos were so informative and entertaining that it was a no brainer to give them a call. We are so thankful that we did.
Since we were from out of state Doug and Lona set up a zoom meeting. We left the call with a much more detailed vision of what it is like to live in Lee County Florida and what to expect specifically in Cape Coral and Ft. Myers. They took the time to really listen to our needs, wants, and concerns in order for us to make an educated life changing decision.
When we traveled to Cape Coral Doug and Lona gave us as much time as possible to help in our search. They streamlined the process to help us find homes based on our criteria and packed their schedule to help us see them all. There were some complicated twists and turns, but Doug and Lona were with us through it all, doing whatever they could to help us be successful.
Doug and Lona Leugers exceeded our expectations as realtors. This dynamic couple goes above and beyond with their combined knowledge, skill sets, experience, encouragement, and devotion to excellence- you will not have any regrets using their expertise!

We just bought a home in Naples and we couldn’t be happier. Because of the world-wide pandemic, we completed a lot of the process from Massachusetts. We are so thankful to Faye Fletcher for all of her help. She tirelessly showed us multiple properties during the time we were in Naples and told us all about the area. She is patient and we never felt pressured to make a decision. Once we knew which property we wanted she helped us make the deal. I was worried because we would not be able to be in Florida for the home inspection, the final walk through and the closing but Faye was there for us at every step! She attended the home inspection and walk through for us and we connected through video chat. This whole process was as stress-free as buying a house in another state during a pandemic could be! We credit Faye for this. Excellent experience. We highly recommend Faye Fletcher if you are looking to buy a house in Naples!

Doug & Lona Leugers have the best team in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area. They are professional and extremely knowledgable in the real estate market. I highly recommend calling them if you are buying or selling!!
“I’m a firefighter at Independence so I know Doug personally and when I was on the market to buy, I decided to work with Doug Leugers. It was a great experience! He’s diligent, he stayed on top of things, and stayed in communication with us the entire time. He was also very good at working around my schedule. I was very pleased with their performance! I’ve worked with other Realtors previously, and they were definitely not as good as Doug which is why I’m very glad I got to work with him. He’s very professional and that definitely sets him apart. Doug is willing to go the extra mile to make sure his clients are happy. We had a couple glitches with the inspector and Doug went above and beyond to make sure that it was resolved and took extra time to make sure it was handled quickly. I would absolutely refer him to anyone!”
