Leah Davenport graduated from Penn State in 2014 with a dual degree in Public Relations and Supply Chain & Information Systems. She moved to Washington, D.C. and first took the corporate IT Auditor route at EY, but quickly realized IT Auditing was not her jam.
She dove headfirst into the world of event planning, working alongside a wedding planner and planning legal events at George Mason University’s law school with high-ranking federal judges, supreme court justices, and senators.
In 2016, together with her husband and business partner, Blake, Leah co-founded Discover Arlington. This was their way to stand out from the competition and show the world all things awesome in Arlington – from delicious eats to trendy hangouts and everything worth exploring. Discover Arlington exploded into a community of over 22,000 people! Happy hours, home buying workshops, showcasing the coolest restaurants, and top-notch events – you name it!
In 2017, Leah obtained her real estate license. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she went all-in on real estate and she never looked back. That’s when The Davenport Group team was born! When she’s not busy sealing the deal or connecting with new clients, Leah’s the mastermind behind the team’s operations, marketing, and strategy. Plus, she’s passionate about building relationships with past clients and top agents across the nation. So whether you’re buying, selling, or just in need of some serious real estate magic, Leah’s got your back!
In her downtime, Leah loves being a mama to her new baby, Liam and her mini-labradoodle, Nala. She enjoys spending time with family, traveling, exploring new wineries and finding the best local coffee shops.
Blake and Leah were recommended to us by a friend (and recent home buyer) who was beyond satisfied with the Blake/Leah's professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness. We were not disappointed at all. We had been wary about entering the buyer's market for a while, and Blake/Leah made it easy for us to understand the benefits/risks of home-buying. Blake and Leah command an exceptionally high level of expertise about the DC/MD/VA real estate market, and they are well positioned to counsel clients on everything from searching for the right home to making sure you WIN the contract. They do not settle with simply making sure you are the winning buyer, but they go above and beyond to get you the best deal possible. The Davenport Group is and always will be a family business, which is a huge plus. I had many late night calls with Blake/Leah to discuss my fears/concerns about home-buying, and they were always responsive and eager to chat until all of my concerns were addressed. We are extremely happy with our home-buying experience, and have no doubt that Blake/Leah will continue to be our go-to real estate experts for many years to come.
