Leah made our home buying and selling experience in Austin fun, easy, and enjoyable. Her knowledge of the market and her experience in the industry made us extremely confident in our decisions. We were always kept in the loop and felt like she was on our side 100%. She's honest, respectful, and fun to work with. Being new to Texas, Leah's roots in Austin and her rolodex of recommendations and contacts are unlike any other. We will definitely work with Leah in the future and highly recommend her to others in Austin!

We were referred to Leah Petri, by a commercial real estate colleague, and didn't know much about Austin or really what we wanted to purchase, so we started off by looking at a wide variety: Ranches, Condos, and central Austin real estate. Leah was professional, prepared, and picked all four of us up in style for two full days of property touring. She was able to handle any changes to our agenda or wishes with ease, and gave us the overview and information we were looking for to get educated on the city. Leah has vast knowledge, professional contacts, and networks needed to find what her clients desire all the while letting her personality shine through. We look forward to working with Leah again next time we have a need, and will definitely refer her to others.

Leah was able to help us strategically with my husband's company move to Austin, and we could even count on her down to the smallest detail! A bonus she was fun to be with! We will definitely refer her to friends!

The illogic and uncertainty of COVID-19 continues to amaze me, yet Leah's professionalism and expertise brought a contract of sale to us within a month of listing the property! John's suggestion that I talk to Leah was the best decision we made and I appreciate Leah's willingness to co-list with Brady. I know from experience that joint ventures can be challenging. Now we know why John said Leah is the top producer of high end residential real estate in Austin! We will miss the ranch, but have great memories to carry for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Leah, for making the transition so timely, orderly and final. Thank you for your role in making it all happen.

If you're looking for an agent who really understands your needs and has your back -someone who is patient and truly invested in your goals, then I would highly recommend Leah and her team!Leah was patient and willing to educated us on the key neighborhoods in the Austin area and some of the nuances of buying real estate in Texas. She is great at holding all parties accountable to ensure her clients are happy and taken care of - and ensuring a fair and honest transaction! What else do you need from a real estate agent?

Leah is an extremely competent professional that fully understands the dynamics of the Austin market. She was instrumental in pulling together every aspect of my real estate transaction; including the renovation of the property under a tight timeline during a period of very challenging construction material and labor shortages. Her knowledge of the market and her utilization of statistical data to support decisions led to accurate pricing of the property and a smooth transaction for all parties involved.

Leah Petri is a very professional Agent. She is very hands on and very dedicated to making sure you are well taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about what I should do and not do in getting my home ready for sale. She has an action plan and keeps you informed every step of the way. It was a real pleasure to work with Leah and if the opportunity ever arose again, I would not hesitate to work with her again. I highly recommend Leah.

Moving from out of state brings with it significant challenges (inability to get a feel for an area, inability to view homes in-person, inability to have an ear to the ground on potential homes becoming available, difficulty in building a relationship with a realtor, etc.). These are unavoidable but critical to overcome. We spent over a year working with Leah to find the right home in the right neighborhood that would eventually allow us to make a smooth transition to Austin and add to the excitement of this new adventure. Leah is unequivocally THE realtor best fit to conquer the challenges that come with transitioning from out of state. Moreover, she is a clear expert in connecting a family's needs and wants to the right home and neighborhood. Her communication, her knowledge of the market, her connectivity to individuals in the realtor community, her guidance and, most of all, her patience are all reasons why we highly recommend Leah.

Throughout my adult years, I have had the experience of purchasing a few different houses. For the past two transactions I interviewed a variety of different realtors to find the right one and after a thorough search I chose Leah. That was one of the best business decisions I've ever made. When making such large decisions, I wanted to work with someone that I could trust and who could help with the sale of one property and purchase of a replacement property. Throughout the past several months, Leah has been there every step of the way. She has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. She was strong and steady guide and answered my questions and helped me to make the best decisions for my family. I now consider Leah a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home or wishing to sell an existing one. She did both for me including managing a 1031 Exchange. She and her team even expertly staged the property I was selling and I think it made a big difference in the sale. In short, she was brilliant throughout the entire process and time we worked together. Thanks again to Leah and her team for being such a pleasure to work with during these critical financial transactions.

Our family planned to move to Austin from Miami last October. I was referred to Leah Petri at Gottesman and she immediately went to work. She is a native Austinite and provided us with helpful information about Austin, the different neighborhoods, school options, restaurants and attractions. We were not prepared for the unusual Austin market. Leah educated us about the market, the economy and future growth guiding us to make the most informed decision possible for a long term real estate investment. Beyond that, we had a very specific type of house in mind and were not willing to deviate from what we wanted, an architectural gem. Leah showed us possibly hundreds of homes in an 8 month time span. She was patient and professional by using her many resources including private market listing (we had never even heard of that), networking with people in the real estate business and coming soon listings. Leah unturned every stone in our areas of interest until she unearthed the perfect home meeting every single one of our criteria. She guided us through the negotiations and overcame the several hurdles until we finally closed. She provided us a timeline with deadline dates of things that had to be completed prior to close. Please keep in mind, that this was our 8th home purchase so we thought we were veterans but clearly we had a lot to learn and were so grateful to have Leah as our advocate in this tedious process. After the close, Leah was hands on deck by even coming over and helping to arrange furniture and gave us every possible resource from handyman to gardeners etc. She went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations in every possible way. If you are considering a home purchase, then you need Leah Petri and the Gottesman team to represent you. If and when we need to sell a home, they will be the ones we call.

Leah is one of the most professional and knowledgeable people we have worked with, not just in the real estate profession. She spent a considerable amount of time to find a home that we would love in a very hot market. She was very honest with her feedback and open about the market conditions. Her advice and knowledge of the home buying process brought calm to us and her guidance was invaluable. We cannot recommend Leah highly enough.

Leah is an amazing realtor. She not only works hard to help you find homes, often just coming on the market, but Leah does a fantastic job introducing newcomers to the Austin area. If you're looking for more than just a home, Leah will introduce you to not only your next abode, but bring you into the Austin community. Leah's extensive local network will help you also find the best inspectors, appraisers, and other local service providers that reduce purchasing risk make your home buying experience easier. I would strongly suggest anyone relocating to Austin use Leah as their realtor.
