Brokering residential real estate in Austin’s finest neighborhoods for almost two decades, Leah Petri is a native who knows Austin block by block.
Leah’s clients benefit from her unending tenacity, the power of her connections, and her commitment to serving as a confidant and trusted advisor. She is most proud of her high volume of repeat and referral clients, believing that to be the greatest compliment of a job well done. Leah taps into her strong network to deliver access to pre-market and private-market homes, often matching buyers and sellers before properties are ever listed—a strategic advantage in Austin’s competitive market. Above all, Leah consistently demonstrates her passion for pairing the right homes with the right clients with expert care.
Leah is a returning member of the coveted Elite25, now in her fifth year. E25 is a prestigious network of the most experienced, connected, and trusted real estate professionals in the city. With exclusive access to Austin’s most sought-after properties, including off-market opportunities, this group represents the pinnacle of luxury real estate. Being selected among these top-tier agents is both a privilege and a responsibility—one that Leah embraces as she continues to set the standard in Austin’s luxury market.
Raised in both Tarrytown and Westlake, Leah graduated from Westlake High School and has lived with her family in both Central Austin and Westlake Hills, keeping her deeply connected to the community. She is married to a sixth-generation Austinite, Chris Petri, and they have two sons: Walker, a sophomore at The University of Texas and a member of the Sig Ep fraternity, and Hughes, a senior at Westlake High School and a member of the golf team.
Along with her husband, Leah enjoys investing in properties in Austin and Colorado, having completed projects ranging from ground-up construction to surface remodels. This hands-on experience is invaluable to her clients when evaluating a property’s potential. In 2021, Leah’s personal home was featured on the world-renowned AIA architecture tour.
Outside of real estate, Leah enjoys hiking with her two white labs, Hattie and Hazel, playing tennis with friends, and spending time with family on Lake Austin.
