The Ruth Powers I know has been a phenomenal agent/friend in both the purchasing and selling of houses for me. Since 2006, Ruth found 2 great investment houses for me, and negotiated the sale of 3 others that I already owned. But, most important of all, Ruth found the most perfect home for my parents. Last year I needed to move my aging parents to Austin. Almost every day, my parents say how grateful they are to be in the same town with their daughters, and what a \castle" they now live in. The location of the home meant everything to them...nearCatholic church, quiet street, and friendly, caring neighbors. A special celebration has not gone by without Ruth dropping off a plant, flowers, food, or a special gift for them. She has even rearranged her schedule to walk/run with my 81-year-old mother. I am not the easiest person to deal with. In fact, I am awful to work with/for. So, I know she used all her people skills in keeping me calm and collected during all our negotiations. Ruth is more than a real estate agent. She accepted my texts and phone calls at hours of the day and night that most people would ignore. She has always been thoughtful, kind, considerate and patient with me, and with those that I have referred. What some may claim to be a fault...total honesty; others know as a virtue. My experience at today's closing was like all the others - GREAT!
