Doug & Lona Leugers | Southwest Florida Real Estate Experts
Helping buyers and sellers navigate Southwest Florida real estate with experience that goes far beyond opening doors and writing contracts.
Doug and Lona Leugers have been real estate professionals since 2003. Today, they help buyers, sellers and relocating families throughout Cape Coral, Fort Myers and surrounding Southwest Florida communities.
Their combination of real estate experience, local lifestyle knowledge, marketing expertise and hands-on understanding of waterfront living provides clients with a perspective that is especially valuable in Southwest Florida.
Experience Matters
Why Work With Doug & Lona?
Southwest Florida real estate is different. Waterfront access, boating considerations, insurance, location, neighborhood differences and the Florida lifestyle can all influence which property makes sense for a buyer and how a home should be positioned for sale.
Real Estate Since 2003
Doug and Lona bring more than four decades of combined real estate experience to the table. Their backgrounds include residential sales, brokerage, investment property and property management.
National Real Estate Experience
Doug has trained and coached more than 8,000 real estate agents and teams, including professionals who went on to build some of the country's highest-producing real estate teams.
Southwest Florida Lifestyle
Lona's connection to Southwest Florida goes back to childhood, including years spent enjoying the area's boating and waterfront lifestyle. That perspective matters when helping clients understand what living here is actually like.
Waterfront Real Estate
Waterfront Knowledge That Goes Beyond the Listing
Buying a waterfront home in Cape Coral or elsewhere in Southwest Florida isn't just about finding a house with water behind it.
Doug is both a Florida Real Estate Broker and a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Captain. That combination provides an additional perspective when helping buyers evaluate waterfront properties and the boating lifestyle that comes with them.
The right waterfront property depends heavily on how you intend to use it. Your boat, preferred destinations and tolerance for travel time can make two seemingly similar waterfront homes very different choices.
Waterfront buyers should consider:
- Direct Gulf access vs. indirect access
- Bridge locations and clearance
- Locks and boating routes
- Canal location and travel time
- River and Gulf access
- Seawalls and waterfront improvements
- Docks and boat lifts
- Boat size and intended use
- Neighborhood location
- Flood and insurance considerations
Our Story
Real Estate Experience Built Over Decades
Doug and Lona began their real estate careers in 2003 and have experienced the business from nearly every angle: buying, selling, brokerage, investing, property management, training and coaching.
Before focusing their business in Southwest Florida, they built extensive real estate experience in Florida, Ohio and Kentucky. Doug has served as a Principal Broker and built a brokerage and real estate organization that eventually grew to more than 100 agents.
That experience gives their clients something difficult to replace: perspective developed through multiple markets, changing market cycles and thousands of real estate conversations.
Local Perspective
Why Southwest Florida?
Southwest Florida isn't simply where Doug and Lona sell real estate. It's the lifestyle they chose for themselves.
Boating, fishing, beaches, waterfront neighborhoods and year-round outdoor living are a major part of what attracts people to Cape Coral, Fort Myers and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities.
Because they understand both the real estate side and the lifestyle side of the decision, Doug and Lona can help clients look beyond bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage to determine which community and property best match the way they actually want to live.
How We Help
Buying, Selling & Relocating in Southwest Florida
Buying a Home
From waterfront homes and condos to new construction and established neighborhoods, Doug and Lona help buyers compare properties, communities and lifestyle differences before making a decision.
The goal isn't simply to find a house. It's to help you understand what you're buying and how that property fits the way you want to live in Southwest Florida.
Selling a Home
Selling requires more than placing a property in the MLS. Doug and Lona combine pricing strategy, professional presentation, digital marketing, video, online exposure and negotiation experience to position properties for today's buyers.
Their marketing background is particularly valuable as more buyers begin their Southwest Florida home search online before ever arriving in the area.
Relocating to Florida
Moving to Southwest Florida from another state creates an entirely different set of questions than moving across town.
Doug and Lona help relocating buyers understand communities, waterfront options, commute considerations, insurance, lifestyle differences and the practical realities of owning property in Southwest Florida.
