Leah Petri

I recently closed on a dream lot purchase in Westlake with sweeping views of the downtown Austin skyline and Lake Austin, and I would not have navigated this process without Leah Petri. From our first meeting, Leah quickly earned my trust and proved herself to be a true expert in Westlake real estate. Purchasing a buildable lot comes with many nuances, and Leah was relentless in helping me research every aspect of the property related to constructing my future home. She made sure I had clear answers and the right professionals in place—connecting me with a permit expeditor, real estate attorney, septic engineer, and even neighboring property owners. Leah went above and beyond by organizing and leading weekly conference calls with my full team to ensure we stayed on track and successfully worked through the permitting process prior to closing. Her persistence, attention to detail, and deep local knowledge gave me complete confidence throughout the transaction. If you are looking for a true Westlake expert—especially for complex land or luxury transactions—Leah Petri is absolutely who you should call.

We were referred to Leah Petri as investor buyers looking to purchase a place near UT. Our oldest attends The University of Texas and we wanted a place in Austin where we could stay when visiting while also making a smart investment decision. Leah immediately understood our goals and guided us through the Central Austin market, explaining neighborhood nuances, pricing, and long-term value. Her knowledge of Central Austin and proximity to UT was invaluable, and she helped us identify the right property that worked both as a personal residence and an investment. The process was smooth, strategic, and well managed from start to finish. Leah is professional, responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about the Austin real estate market. We felt confident in every decision because of her guidance. If you’re an investor, a referral client, or a parent with children at UT Austin looking to buy in Pemberton or Central Austin, I highly recommend Leah Petri. She is a trusted advisor and someone we would absolutely work with again.”

My husband has known Leah Petri since the mid-1990s and had always heard great things about her as a realtor. We originally didn’t think we needed an agent and planned to represent ourselves, but when we reached out to her for an inspector recommendation, she quickly convinced us just how much value she brings to the table, and wow, did she deliver. Leah guided us through every step, from negotiating an excellent purchase price to navigating the inspection and repair-request process, which further lowered our acquisition cost. She also connected us with the perfect design lead and advised us on what remodel items would most improve long-term resale value. Her expertise, connections, and seamless team communication made the entire experience effortless and stress-free. We are now clients for life, and will be referring her to all of our friends. If you’re looking for someone who truly elevates the real estate experience, Leah will exceed your expectations at every step of the process.

Several years ago, Leah took time out of her busy day to meet me at Starbucks and map out a plan for where I could live in Eanes ISD and what it would realistically cost. I knew she was a top realtor, and I felt my price range was below her average client—but that didn’t matter to her. She was generous with her time, expertise, and guidance, and I left that meeting motivated and informed. Leah stayed in touch, and when the time was right, she represented me as my buyer’s agent for my first home in Austin. She helped me navigate the new construction process, advised me on valuable upgrades, and continued to support me even after closing—going above and beyond to help with warranty issues. Now, as I prepare to sell my current home and purchase another, there was never a question in my mind about who I wanted to represent me. Last night, I shared with Leah—my friend of over 30 years, fellow college and sorority sister—that my loyalty to her has never wavered. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication make her and the Petri Group an easy recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell in Austin. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Leah made our home buying and selling experience in Austin fun, easy, and enjoyable. We recently completed our fourth transaction with Petri Group. 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!
