LEILA SHOWERY
I’m an Austin realtor who cares how you live and how your home is presented. I help people buy homes that fit their real life, and I help people sell their homes in a way that actually gets attention.
When I list a home, it’s never “throw it on the MLS and hope.” I’m intentional about pricing, preparation, and presentation. I guide sellers through each step so homes are styled correctly, photographed like they belong in a magazine, and marketed in a way that makes buyers stop scrolling. Every decision has a purpose.
I specialize in Austin neighborhoods I genuinely know and love, including Zilker, Bouldin, Travis Heights, East Austin, Downtown, Mueller, Tarrytown, and Clarksville. If a home has character, good light, thoughtful design, or simply feels right, I’m in my element.
I’m honest, highly responsive, and big on transparency. I’ll tell you when to push and when to pause, and I’ll always explain the why. No pressure. No fluff. No scare tactics.
Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, or investing, my goal is simple: to help you feel confident, informed, and supported from start to finish.
This isn’t just a transaction for me. It’s a relationship built on trust, strategy, and care.

3.) Making an offer and negotiating terms.
4.) Conducting inspections and appraisals.

Item deIncreasing your home’s value doesn’t always require a full renovation. Small, strategic updates can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your property.
Try refreshing spaces with neutral bedding, modern light fixtures, and updated ceiling fans. Repainting walls in soft, inviting tones and replacing dated hardware can instantly modernize your home. Decluttering, deep cleaning, and adding greenery or indoor plants can help buyers envision themselves living there.
These affordable upgrades not only enhance your home's appeal in listing photos but can also lead to stronger offers and faster sales — especially in competitive Austin neighborhoods like Zilker, East Austin, and Mueller.
