Jan knows her stuff. She is everything a realtor should be and more. She doesn't just care about selling houses - she cares about peoples dreams, about peoples lives and about matching those to a wonderful house. Her video series is so fun and helpful. And for me, the best part is that Jan still cares about people's dreams and lives well after the sale of the house. She is not just my realtor, but a positive part of my community - love the "things to do" lists, Jan! Thank-you
Jan Daum met us initially as we were looking at a historic home and we sure hit the realtor jackpot meeting her! She has been so knowledgeable and endlessly supportive through buying our first home 6 years ago as well as a second property more recently. Her responsiveness is unmatched both in and beyond the home buying process. She has made herself available for home tours and builds relationships with her clients - in both of our buys, we have felt like we are working with a dear friend rather than a real estate agent.
Tyson was great! He's been so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process, especially since it's my first time buying a home. He was very quick to respond and easily worked around our schedules to see different houses! Whenever we had questions for potential houses he always followed up and found the information out for us! Highly recommend him!!
Ashley has been my realtor for the last few years. She’s done 3 transactions with me and countless others with friends and family. She’s very responsive and helps add value to my decision making process. Her local knowledge has been very helpful over the years as Austin continues to change. I’d highly recommend her.
Had my back every step of the way when it came to my home purchase. Responded quickly, answered all my questions, drove me around looking at properties, etc. Pretty great experience.
Ashley is an amazing real estate agent. She is a fantastic negotiator, going up against a cash buyer in a sellers market she was able to secure our forever home for us. She got us everything we asked for and more. She was thorough, hard working and a joy to work with. Her attention to details is important in this fast paced market. There is no one else I’d trust buying and selling a home with. Thank you Ashley, you went above and beyond in your client care.
Jean was so great to work with! She was very responsive and always went the extra mile to make sure all of our questions were answered. She made selling our home fast and easy and I can’t wait to work with her again in our future home searches!
I have been in and around real estate for 35 years and in that time I have met thousands of agents. In all that time I have found maybe 5 Realtors who are amazing at their jobs.
One of them is our agent Jean Holm.
We moved from Minnesota and Jean helped us find our lease home. She did FaceTime tours with us and video tours of the houses we were interested in. She was in constant communication with us even when there wasn’t an update. Finally, she negotiated favorable terms for us and got a reduction in rent for a longer lease time. She will be the one we choose when we buy our home in the next year.
I can promise you, Jean is the Realtor you want representing you. You will be amazed at how great she is! She is amazing at communicating which is something the majority of Realtors struggle with. It is a night and day difference with Jean. We sent her an inquiry through her website and had a response 5 minutes later-- at 8 pm at night!
On top of it all Jean is super cool and fun to talk to! She isn't from Austin, so she's worked extra hard to educate herself on the Austin area market. She KNOWS her stuff. Plus I love supporting women business owners so that was an extra bonus in working with Jean!
Jean Holm was above and beyond, her knowledge is incredible, and she was always available with a quick reply to every question we had. She truly looked out for our best interest throughout the whole process, thanks to her knowledge of the market and her prompt action we were able to find our new home and close in a short amount of time. Thank you for all you did for us, and for continuing to check on us!
JEAN HOLM! Just got my first house in Texas. We moved here from Oceanside CA (San Diego) and were searching online for an Austin realtor. The universe somehow connected me to Jean. We lucked out! I have never met a more professional, thoughtful, funny, and hardworking person in my life. I’m not exaggerating. I wasn’t sure what to expect in a realtor but I generally have very high expectations when it comes to any service, being that I have worked in the service industry for years. Jean went above and beyond and super exceeded all of my expectations. She advocated for me and my husband every step of the way. I liked her so much I referred her to my mother to find her a new home as well. Jean did just that! If you are looking for a home in Austin I would 1000 percent recommend Jean. If we ever buy or sell in the future she is my go-to. You won’t regret it!
My wife and I were so happy to have Corrine as our realtor. We felt like we knew each other forever. Since we live out of state she helped guide us through every step. Corrine really knows how to take great care of her clients' every need and expectation! Can't wait to buy another home with her.
I had an excellent experience working with Jeremy and Bramlett Residential to sell my home! He was always super responsive and understanding of my needs. He explained everything I needed to know along the way about the selling process, and laid out choices clearly to help me understand my options. Jeremy was always respectful and made me confident that he would look out for my best interests. I highly recommend Jeremy and the Bramlett Residential team!
Hey Danny just wanted to thank you for helping with our new home we really thank you for all the time you spent helping my wife with the stuff she needed to make this happen thanks again
This is the second time we’ve worked with Tara McGuire, and it not only met the extremely high standards she set the first time, but far exceeded them. Tara is hands down one of the best realtors we’ve ever worked with. She maintains consistent communication and is always available for any and all questions. She is very knowledgeable of the market and comes forward with a competitive, yet realistic approach to sell your home. She has an amazing team that sets you up for success and walks you through each step of the process. Our experience with her is one we will always remember, and she will forever be our go-to with any real estate needs. Thank you, Tara, for an unmatched experience, and for helping us get exactly what we needed in the journey to sell our home.
Molly Parks is the best realtor I know. I've used her services for well over a decade. She's always on the ball, and really knows the ins & outs of the Austin market, property mgmt- she's just knowledgable about real estate in general. She's prompt and courteous, and down to earth. proud to call her a friend. Hire Molly!
Jan Daum is the most impressive realtor we have ever dealt with. We are not novices with buying and selling houses. Jan knows her stuff: she knows so much about the neighborhoods, she is the definition of proactive, and does she know the ins and out of this business! But Jan brought - and continues to bring - amazing extras to the experience. She combines a sincere friendliness, genuine caring with a high level of professionalism - a gift in this business. We continue to get her monthly "to do" newsletters to help us understand our new neighborhood. Jan will periodically reach out to just check in. 100% satisfied with our experience with Jan Daum and know who to contact when we are in the market again. She was instrumental in our integration to our home, our community and helping us follow our dreams.
Julie was our realtor and she was with us every step if the way! As new home buyers, there was a lot of new info that would have been overwhelming had it not been for Julie taking the time to go over the details of every step of the process. Her patience is unmatched and her team was so helpful. They're the reason I'm able to write this review from my new master bedroom Julie was our realtor and she was with us every step if the way!

Buying a new house shouldn't be that hard and Molly Parks was definitely on our side when we purchased our home December 2019. Molly was our advocate from the beginning until closing. she was personable, quick to respond when we had mountains of questions, eased our minds throughout the process and most of all, she gave us our FIRST housewarming gift. Geaux (I'm from Louisiana) with MOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
After renting in Austin since 2012, Corrine Elgin turned me into an Austin homeowner! This wasn't easy, as I picked the most challenging period in recent history to be a homebuyer. Also given the parameters that I didn't want to move to the outskirts of town to be far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Corrine spent many hours each day gathering houses to consider, creating a list to visit, and driving me to probably close to 30 houses over roughly a month. We made offers on five houses that I recall, as Corrine guided me through that challenging process. And while I was approaching the point of giving up, Corrine refused to do the same -- so thankful, as it resulted in the offer on the 5th house being accepted! Every step of the way she made me feel confident enough to keep battling and it paid off. I couldn't have done it without her.
I am so glad that a friend recommended Ruth as a Realtor. She was so helpful and went
way beyond her duty to help get my dad's house ready to sell. I would not have been able
to do all of the preparations on my own. Thanks also to your team. They were professional,
experienced, kind, patient, and informative.
Ruth is the best realtor I have ever known in my 40+ years of doing real estate
transactions. Anyone who is fortunate to have her services will have the greatest
opportunity for satisfaction and success!
I’m grateful for the dynamic, excellent service I received with Realty Austin! Ruth Powers and her
team are amazing! Courteous, patient, and thorough with every detail, we closed in record time!
Satisfied completely!
Ruth was great, and if I had to go through this again, I'd want her, who knows the ropes, to take care of buying and selling. For selling, it was stressful, especially at a time when the Pandemic level was quite high. We got
through it, though. For buying, since it was new construction, we would keep in touch off and on during the whole
build process. There was a hiccup at the end as the builder wanted to adjust the purchase agreement, but we managed to come through. She listened to me vent out in frustration, but it worked out in the end. I would definitely recommend her if friends are looking to move or buy.
As much as I would like to express what Ruth has been to us through this process, honestly, it will be an injustice. But know this, there is no way anyone else could have done what Ruth did. Honestly, I will not go to any other Realtor other than Ruth on our way back to Central Texas.
Ruth Powers was our real estate agent for the recent sale of our NW Austin home. Ruth, as always, was an exceptional agent and pays attention to the details during all aspects of putting a home on the market and follows through to the very end during closing. We have used Ruth as our agent several times in the past, whether buying or selling homes in Austin, and we will continue to seek her services in future real estate dealings. If you want someone who will be a strong advocate for you, Ruth is your agent!
Ruth has been a Godsend! I would have been completely lost in this whole process if it wasn’t
for her and the extra miles she hurdled for me. I will definitely follow the links below and write a review this evening! I cannot say thank you enough, Ruth! I look forward to doing business with you in the future!
I can not express my gratitude and absolute happiness in dealing with Ruth Powers of Realty Austin. She is the ultimate professional and the most caring person possible. She sold my home to me originally, and there was no one I would have asked to sell my home when I was ready to move. I have already recommended her to numerous friends in Austin, and in my opinion, she is the best real estate agent in Austin. She has been in the business for so long and knows everything/everyone, and is willing to work hard to make things happen. My sale went so smoothly, and we got a great price, and I couldn’t be happier. Exemplary, personalized service is EXACTLY what I got with Ruth Powers!!!!! 5-star rating for sure!!
We had a wonderful experience with Ruth E. Powers. She was looking out for us at every step of the
way in the process of buying a new home from the start to closing. Highly recommend Ruth if you're
looking for a good realtor!
Ruth has an impressive and stellar combination of personality and professionalism. My wife and I were lucky to have chosen Ruth as our real estate agent over a decade ago to help us buy our house. As a savvy businesswoman, she has stayed in touch with us since that time. Thank you, Ruth, for all of your solid, good, knowledgable, and hard work.
Kudos to Ruth E. Powers with Realty Austin. This was the 3rd time that Ruth served as my realtor. First to sell a central Austin home, buy a downtown Austin Condo, and just now sell the Austin condo. Never a second thought about calling Ruth to guide and advise me-- and again, she did it all, with aplomb and as a very experienced realtor. Quick responses to my many questions, from stag in to closing. Thank you, Ruth.
Ashley has been my realtor for the last few years. She’s done 3 transactions with me and countless others with friends and family. She’s very responsive and helps add value to my decision making process. Her local knowledge has been very helpful over the years as Austin continues to change. I’d highly recommend her.
Ruth is 10 out of 10, and we will continue to have her as our top referral to friends or family looking for an Austin Realtor!
I was lucky enough to have Ruth Powers as my agent recently. She helped me find exactly what I was looking for. It's the right size, in the right area and so on. She returned my calls and emails lighting fast. No one had to recommend her to me because she also helped me find a house years ago. In other words I highly recommend Ruth!
Ruth Powers is a gem. It didn't take her long to figure out what we wanted, and she stuck through with us through several hiccups, really caring about us on a personal level. What an outstanding realtor, and person! We will recommend her to everyone!
Ruth was an absolute rockstar. She was patient with us, showed us countless houses, and was extremely knowledgable about the area. It was all about us and what we wanted and where we could find the best house for our family. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for outstanding service!
Ruth Powers of Realty Austin is a top notch real-estate agent. I have used her services for my first house, back in 2003, based upon a review of her by a close friend, and she did not fail to disappoint. I was a bachelor at the time, and we bachelors are typically done in 5 or 6 showings. Not me - I made it to 15 houses before deciding. She was behind me all the way, and even took me to a few houses she did NOT recommend I purchase, just to show me the difference of what makes a good vs house. I have recommended her to my friends ever since, and she has delighted them as much as me. Fast forward to now and why I am writing this review no longer a bachelor, and we needed to move. Ruth engaged with my wife and I and helped us navigate the (for us) uncharted waters of selling and buying at the same time. She did so with grace no doubt based on her years of experience, and fought hard for us to be able to close on both deals. We nearly lost our purchase 3 times due to adverse actions on the part of the seller, but she kept up the pressure. She worked with us to make our target numbers in both directions, and was exemplary in all areas. I really can't recommend her any more highly.
Ruth is great to work with! She has been amazingly patient with this ex-Washingtonian during my exhaustive Austin house-hunt. Ruth is able to help you figure out what you want in a home, and then provide the expertise and moral support to make your dream come true. I highly recommend her! By the way, great photo Ruth!
Ruth Powers is an excellent realtor. She knows what she's doing and looks out for her clients. She's great!
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ruth over the past 10+ years. She truly cares for her clients, understands their needs and looks out for the best for them. She is very knowledgeable and can always provide great advice. In selling our home with Ruth this November, she took the extra effort to come to the house and walk us though room by room how to best prepare the house. She brought in and helped set up her own staging items to make the home even more appealing. Ruth arranged excellent professional photographs of the home and amenities, which looked great in the listing and in the beautiful brochure. In negotiations, she looks out for your best interests and pays attention to the finer details like warranties and HOA transfer fees, etc, and tries to negotiate the most reasonable deal for her client. She is always quick to respond to texts, e-mails and calls and has gone over and above working on evenings, weekends and even on her vacation time if there is an urgent issue to deal with. We always felt like we were in good hands with Ruth as our agent!
Great experience overall. Ruth knows the market very well, provides great input on all aspects of the process and shows personal interest. Would definitely work with her again and would be willing to refer her.
Egla and I are extremely happy with all of the help and work that Ruth did on our behalf. These first two weeks have been pretty hectic dealing with the usual moving activities and details. Ruth definitely exceeded all of our expectations and even exhibited a level of patience that was amazing given that I was probably an extremely difficult and picky client. I am glad she shepherded us through the process because this house has quickly become a home that we feel has met every need and goal that we were hoping to get. I couldn't imagine using anyone else now and in the future and I hope that we can work with Ruth again. I will definitely refer her to friends and family searching for housing. Thank you, Realty Austin, for having such a great Realtor for us to work with.
Ruth was patient, helpful and knowledgeable. We truly appreciate all she did for us!!!!
Ruth has once again has gone above and beyond our expectations. She is very focused and knowledgeable from the real estate aspect. Ruth also treats us like family and has helped make our long distance move a pleasurable experience. We will be recommending Ruth to anyone looking for a Realtor and am willing to provide a very positive reference for anyone else who may ask.
Ruth is very professional and knowledgeable. She was definitely put to the test on the sale of my home, but we finally got me out and into my new home. I have and will continue to refer Ruth to others.
