About
Owen Albert
Raised between Seattle and the San Juan Islands, Owen has spent most of his life as part of this community. Enjoying the cadence of the ferry, the seasons of the harbors, the close-knit feel of life out here.
He works with buyers and sellers across the four ferry-served islands as well as the more remote outer islands. With particular care for his clients who are exploring the archipelago as a primary home, a quiet retreat, or a piece of land to build on. His approach is straightforward: listen carefully, advise honestly, and bring the resources of Sotheby’s International Realty network to support what each client is actually looking for.
The Archipelago
Four islands, four characters.
Each ferry-served island has its own pace, its own community, and its own answer to what life out here might look like.
San Juan
The anchor of the archipelago — Friday Harbor and beyond.
Orcas
The largest of the group — quiet coves, working farms, Moran's heights.
Lopez
Slower roads, open pasture, a community known for waving back.
Shaw
The smallest of the ferry-served four — and the most private.
Beyond the Ferry Routes
The Outer Islands
Decatur, Brown, Henry, Blakely, Stuart, and others, accessible by private boat or small plane. Quieter, more private, with their own way of life.
