The past 17 years of representing sellers and buyers in Austin real estate has brought me many good things, the most important of which is client relations, which I have so carefully nurtured and keenly enjoyed. I guide my clients through a process that is sometimes treacherous and emotional, one which involves a vast amount of detail as well as larger market elements, and my goal is to always provide guidance with clarity, professionalism, empathy, insight, tenacity, nuance and a timeless sense of responsibility and care. Most often a friendship is created or deepened, and that is always the best. It would be my pleasure to help you with any of your Austin real estate needs. You can be assured that I will give you my very best!

Leah is a native Austinite and a graduate of Westlake High School and Texas Christian University. She has knowledge and connections both professional and personal within the Austin community. Family, tennis with friends, and personal remodeling projects keep her busy in off hours.

Leah specializes in Central Austin and West Lake Hills, especially introducing newcomers to the Austin community. Leah’s enthusiastic personality, extensive business experience, and resourcefulness have resulted in long-term relationships with her clients. In the words of one client, Joe Merrill, “Leah’s extensive local network will help you also find the best inspectors, appraisers, and other local service providers that reduce purchasing risk and make your home buying experience easier.” She commits so wholeheartedly to her clients and finding them the right house match that she frequently feels that her job is more pleasure than actual “work”. Three-time client, Jennie Pace, says of Leah ” She’s committed to detail and fun to work with, she is outstanding. We’ve had her help us with the past three real estate transactions, and I’ve always felt like we came out on top. Couldn’t recommend a realtor more.”

Leah enables buyers and sellers to realize a home’s full economic potential by re-envisioning it with a fresh, creative perspective. She is not afraid to offer advice on how to pull a house together whether that is through an expansive remodel or sprucing up a home when it is time to sell. She will gladly roll up her sleeves and re-arrange furniture, provide local contacts for construction or maintenance work, or provide her own personal staging assistance. This individualized approach has resulted in clients getting the most bang for their buck, time and again.

Mason Quintana

By |
Mason’s unofficial real estate career began in 2004 when he and his wife Ariel bought their first home in southwest Austin. He quickly discovered that he had a passion for architecture, design, and a knack for discovering and evaluating great properties and investments. This passion was reinforced a number of years later when he moved his family to central Austin after finding and renovating a mid century ranch style home.
Soon after this move, Mason decided to turn his passion into a career. Before Gottesman Residential, Mason was integral in the formation of a startup real estate firm that developed its business and reputation steadily during his tenure.
His approach to real estate is very simple. “Never let your clients sweat!” He strives to limit the stress of buyers and sellers and to make the transaction as smooth and uneventful as possible. With this philosophy in practice, Mason’s business has grown every year in the current competitive market.
