Zach Harrison
Zach Harrison is a real estate broker with Compass, specializing in distinctive homes, land, waterfront, and legacy properties throughout the San Juan Islands and the broader Pacific Northwest.
With more than a decade of experience in real estate, Zach brings a rare combination of local insight, strategic marketing, negotiation skill, and storytelling to every property he represents. His work is especially focused on island and lifestyle real estate, where value is often shaped not only by square footage and comparable sales, but by setting, access, architecture, privacy, history, and the emotional pull of place.
Before focusing full-time on brokerage, Zach held regional leadership roles with Compass in the Pacific Northwest and helped establish Compass offices in Bellingham, Whidbey Island, and the San Juan Islands. That background gives him a broad network of brokers, buyers, and referral partners across Washington, the Bay Area, and key luxury feeder markets.
Zach’s approach is thoughtful, direct, and highly strategic. He believes the strongest marketing is rooted in truth, not hype, and that every property deserves a clear positioning strategy, a carefully considered launch, and honest guidance throughout the process. Whether representing a waterfront estate, a build-ready parcel, a historic island home, or a quiet retreat, Zach works to identify the right buyer narrative and bring the property to market with clarity and intention.
A longtime advocate for the San Juan Islands lifestyle, Zach understands both the beauty and complexity of island real estate. From ferry logistics and waterfront due diligence to land use questions, inspection strategy, and buyer experience, he helps clients navigate the details that matter.
Outside of real estate, Zach is deeply connected to the local arts community and brings a background in theatre and storytelling to his work. He holds a BA from the University of Washington and an MFA in Acting from UC San Diego/La Jolla Playhouse. That creative foundation continues to inform his ability to communicate, position, and advocate with nuance.
Zach lives and works with a clear belief: exceptional real estate representation requires both market discipline and a genuine understanding of place.
Zach was a truly outstanding real estate agent. We were buying a place on San Juan Island, even though we live in a different state, which made things quite a bit more complicated. He was super friendly, and super efficient, in handling all our requests and needs. He is very knowledgeable about all things having to do with real estate, and he's very well connected to key professionals such as the property inspector, and this proved extremely helpful. Can't recommend him highly enough!

John de la Haye
John has been a licensed real estate agent for over two decades, working in the luxury Southern California market prior to moving to San Juan Island in Washington State. Since moving to the Island, John has embraced the local community and joined the local outrigger paddling club, San Juan Island Yacht Club, and volunteers with the fire department and his community water board. Because of his commitment and client-focused mindset, John believes building a strong foundation with whom he works with is essential, nurturing every relationship and turning it into a long-lasting connection.
John takes pride in working closely with his client's and building trust through communication, transparency, and accountability. According to John, relationships are one of the most critical elements in any business, perhaps even more so in real estate than others.
John is more than a realtor. He’s a guide and trusted partner in a process that can be daunting and confusing. He was able to make the journey clear and moved us ahead in ways we could not have anticipated. His team is quite literally world class - from photos to copy to open house to the tiniest details that most would overlook. Don’t think twice about inviting him to help you buy or sell a property. If you go anywhere else you’re settling for less than you deserve.
