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.
She was incredible. Sensitive to my worries while taking care of things in record time. She needs a superhero cape!
Ruth Powers is our Realtor, and once again, she made us feel super taken care of! Ruth always comes through for us! We trust her totally!
Ruth was a terrific help throughout the process, and I've already referred her to multiple friends. I was very happy to work with her.
I have to start off by saying that we were the quintessential naive first time home buyers. We walked into this with a little money and no clue what to do. Despite our lack of experience and constant questions, these ladies were extremely patient and kind! Ruth was our rock during all the issues that we experienced with the first lender. There were many times I would look at my phone, read email and I would immediately be filled with stress and anxiety. Almost instantly I would receive a follow-up email from Ruth and she was taking care of it. We put 100% trust in Ruth and she never let us down. Even after filing two applications with one lender and then having to switch to a different lender, Ruth was there for us and never gave up. I cannot express how grateful we are to have the privilege to work with Ruth. Also, I have been sharing the gospel of Ruth to everybody and referring her to all of our house looking friends.
The Jones experience with Ruth Powers and Realty Austin has been very rewarding. I was receiving some auto emails regarding homes in the areas I was interested in on a daily basis from Ruth-Realty Austin. When I realized I had a heart for the subdivision Bradfield Village in Buda, I asked Ruth to set me up on the system to receive an email if anything were to pop up in that subdivision. Two days later, I saw a drop in pricing on a home in that subdivision and contacted Ruth immediately. She met me and my husband Brent that same afternoon at the home which is now ours. Ruths extensive knowledge as a realtor helped us get a lot of the guess work out of buying a short sale home. The signing documents online was amazing. I like that Realty Austin is using this technology and that Ruth knew how to maneuver through it and could assist us over the phone on how to utilize it. I was able to call her about anything at anytime and she was prompt about getting my questions answered and/or concerns resolved. Ruth handled us with patience and care - what more can any buyer ask for? I highly recommend Ruth Powers of Realty
Austin and will definitely refer her to family and friends!
Ruth Powers worked diligently to sell my estate property. She handled all of the details and kept me informed of progress. I am pleased with the service that Ruth provided.
I’ll do my best to put into words what it is like to work with Ashley. First and foremost, she is the knowledgeable. She knows the area and how best to price a property to sell! Secondly, she is beautifully and unapologetically kind. She has the heart of a gem. She will do what is best for your family’/loved ones, and she does it with grace. Added bonus? She’s intelligent and personable. She knows how to negotiate and do it with ease. She is steadfast, honest and thorough.
This has been our second time using Ruth Powers as our real estate agent and once again we were more than happy with her services. We are still tickled with our first house that was an investment property that we used Ruth as our agent! Ruth was extremely professional and wasted no time getting us in to take a look at many houses. She wasn't
pushy either. I really felt she had our best interests in mind when asking what exactly we were looking for during our first meeting. This time we were looking for our \forever home and I think we have found it! Ruth did an awesome job from the beginning all the way to helping us with our contract and because of this, I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to buy a new home. It is quite obvious that she is a seasoned real estate agent.
I would like to publicly thank Ruth Powers, Realty Austin---my Realtor for going above and beyond to help me purchase my condo. She did more than aid in my search and steer me to great financing, she helped negotiate with an extremely difficult seller. Thank you!
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.
We were THRILLED to work Ruth again, as she helped us buy a house in 2000 the first time we lived in Austin. We were very pleased with the excellent guidance she provided on our latest purchase. We always found her ready to go that extra mile and was always available for us. We would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking to buy or sell a
house in Austin.
We loved working with Ruth. We chose her for her knowledge of the market in North Austin (where we bought), but she provided so much more than this. She always listened to our needs, was open to feedback and making adjustments. She was always available to talk and text when we had questions.
