Joe Schleis - Realtor Serving the Austin Metro

Serving real estate buyers and sellers in the Austin, TX metro area since 2004.

I pride myself on a relational rather than a transactional business model, which is reflected in my high level of service, repeat business, and client referrals.

Every room will make your jaw drop, and somehow, the view still competes for attention. 🌅

Perched above Lake Travis, this extraordinary Texas farmhouse spans more than 10,000 square feet, with reclaimed beams, incredible craftsmanship, and thoughtful details at every turn. Grand yet inviting, each space feels entirely unique while still carrying the warmth and character of home.

And then you step outside. Sweeping Lake Travis views, waterfront living, and direct access to a private boat dock turn an already remarkable property into something truly unforgettable.

This is one you need to experience in person. Reach out to schedule a private tour.

The latest Central Texas Housing Report offers encouraging news for the Austin-area market. In July, home sales increased 4.4% compared to the same time last year, with 2,739 homes sold across the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA. At the same time, the median home price held steady at $435,000, a sign that the market continues to find balance.

Even with mortgage rates remaining higher than many buyers would like, people are still making moves. Strong job growth, continued investment in Central Texas, and steady demand are creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Real estate is always local, and the headlines only tell part of the story. Every neighborhood, price point, and client's situation is different. That's why it's important to understand how these broader trends apply to your specific goals.

If you're thinking about buying, selling, or simply want to know what today's market means for your home's value, I'd be happy to have a conversation and answer your questions!

Austin's skyline isn't the only thing changing. The city's hospitality scene keeps getting more interesting, too.

One project to keep an eye on is Hotel Trinity, a boutique luxury hotel expected to open downtown in late 2026. Along with thoughtfully designed accommodations, it'll introduce Yacht Club, a new seafood restaurant, plus a rooftop social club that's sure to become a go-to gathering spot.

It's exciting to see Austin continue adding places that give both locals and visitors new reasons to explore the city. Watching what's coming next is part of what makes living here so much fun.

The best homes aren’t always the ones you see online.

One of the biggest advantages of working with a Compass agent is access to private opportunities, coming-soon properties, and off-market listings that may never hit the public market.

Whether you’re looking for a home in Austin, the Hill Country, or surrounding communities, having the right connections can mean getting a first look before the competition.

Sometimes the perfect home isn’t waiting on Zillow. It’s waiting behind the scenes.

Thinking about making a move? Reach out and I’ll help you uncover more opportunities, including Compass private listings you won’t find anywhere else!

A major new development is coming to Austin.

UMusic Hotel & Private Residences Austin has officially been announced, bringing a luxury hotel, 600 private residences, and the new White Rocks Amphitheater to a 71-acre Hill Country property. Designed with a focus on music, entertainment, wellness, and conservation, the project will feature live performance venues, recording studios, destination dining, a spa and wellness center, rooftop amenities, and more.

One of the most impressive aspects? More than 70% of the site will remain preserved as green space, offering sweeping Hill Country views while creating a unique destination for both residents and visitors.

The private residences are now available for purchase, with additional details on timelines and programming expected soon.

Could this become Austin's next iconic live music destination?

First impressions matter, and in real estate, they’re everything.

A well-staged home helps buyers emotionally connect to a space, see its full potential, and picture themselves living there. That connection is often what seals the deal and boosts the final sale price.

A few staging tips that go a long way:
📦 Declutter and depersonalize to help buyers imagine their life in the home
💡 Let in the light by maximizing natural light and using warm-toned bulbs
🌿 Add a few fresh touches like plants, neutral textiles, and subtle scents
🛋️ Float your furniture by pulling pieces away from the walls to make rooms feel larger and more inviting

Whether you’re listing a luxury property or a cozy starter home, staging helps your home stand out in today’s market.

The latest Central Texas market update is here, and the numbers show buyers are staying active. 📈

Pending contracts are on the rise, more homes are closing than this time last year, and inventory continues to give buyers more options than we've seen in recent years. For sellers, it also reinforces the importance of pricing and marketing a home the right way from day one.

Real estate is always local, so while market reports are helpful, your neighborhood may tell a different story.

Curious what the current market looks like where you live or where you're hoping to buy? Send a message!
