As a former licensed realtor, I'm familiar with the buying and selling processes. When my husband and I decided it was time to engage a broker to purchase a new home, we chose Ruth Powers. I've known Ruth for many years. She assisted us with the purchase of an investment property ten years ago, so the choice for a realtor was a "no-brainer." My husband and I let her know we wanted a particular style of home for a certain price. Ruth was not only patient with us, but she also gave us a lot of options. We looked at a variety of locations. She recommended a builder and an area that we were not familiar with, never pushing us too hard. After a couple of years of contemplating, looking at several homes and neighborhoods, we found our dream home, with a view, at a great price. If you are a buyer, rest assured that Ruth is not in it for the money. She wants you to find the home that meets all your needs. Her goal is to have satisfied clients. We felt comfortable knowing that she was watching out for us. Once we found the home to buy, she was there for the walk through inspections, builder meetings, closing, etc. She was always available to coach us through the process, and she was a firm advocate for us when dealing with the builder. As a seller, she was meticulous about recommending ways to stage our home. Ruth spent a lot of time with me suggesting staging ideas for each room, repairs, even referring contractors. We had been in our home for over 20 years, so we had a big job, and Ruth was extremely helpful, even meeting contractors at the house when we were too
busy. We were also very pleased
