Ruth Powers is an outstanding real estate agent and also a really nice person. I highly recommend her if you are looking at buying or selling your home.
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!
I worked with Ruth Powers, and she is wonderful. I met her while helping a friend house hunt, and then asked her to help me find my next home. Ruth knows houses really well, like what you can repair, what you should push back on, and what you can improve. She is VERY responsive, which is imperative in this Austin market. I highly recommend her.
Ruth Powers helped my wife, and I buy our new home, and I can't say enough good things about her. Not only did she help us buy, but she helped us sell our current home even though she wasn't the Realtor we were using to sell. The Realtor we were using to sell was so bad it was embarrassing and extremely stressful, but Ruth helped answer our questions for stuff that she wasn't even being compensated for, and it allowed us to move forward to get our new home. Plus, she was there for the inspection of our new home asking question after question that I would have never asked. My wife and I are beyond grateful and highly recommend her
Ruth was fantastic! When we bought our current house, Ruth was the seller's agent and she was never pushy, she made us feel comfortable with the process and was very professional in all of our discussions. So when it came to selling our house, we interviewed 3 agents just to do our due diligence, but again Ruth's professionalism was a step above the rest. During the selling process, we always felt Ruth had our best interest in mind and would not settle for anything substandard and I have fairly high standards. Although there were some challenges during the sale (all from the buyer's side), Ruth fought for our positions and did a great job of insulating us from some of the craziness and always remained calm and collected, which provided us with peace of mind during the process. Ruth is an outstanding professional and we were blessed to find her and work with her. I highly recommend Ruth and can only hope to work with her again in the future.
This was our second time working with Ruth Powers. She is an excellent Realtor who helped us find the best home. Even after we closed, she continues to help us with items that have come up. My wife and I appreciate the effort that Ruth puts in to help us find the best home and highly recommend her.
Ruth Powers made selling and buying in this crazy Austin market a pleasure. She knew when to advise and when to step back, always there to make our experience as easy as possible.
Purchasing or selling real estate can be a very frustrating experience especially if you don't live in the property area. There is need for meetings, showing, repairs and dealings that require your approval and to have your eyes on the property. My frustration ended when I decided to call Ruth Powers. I have ...
Ruth Powers is an outstanding Realtor with the highest work ethic and excellent communication skills. She's also most knowledgeable about her business and has a talent for explaining complex issues thoroughly in laymen's terms for someone like me. Ruth Powers has been my to-go Realtor the two times I have bought a home in Austin. And if I
ever decide to buy a third home, she will absolutely be the person I will go to. I can't sing her praises enough. I highly recommend her. Ruth is absolutely top notch!
Purchasing or selling real estate can be a very frustrating experience especially if you don't live in the property area. There is need for meetings, showing, repairs and dealings that require your approval and to have your eyes on the property. My frustration ended when I decided to call Ruth Powers. I have used her services before so I knew of her high level of professionalism. But this time it was a compete package, the experience of having her involved in the improvements phase paid off dividends achieving a high level of presentation to this unit; which resulted in an immediate sale and a very well presented and efficient unit for the new owners. She was able to work with my contractor and have a positive impact in the final overall result. She represented her company and the realtors association as a team who care for our needs and was able to produce immediate positive results. Mrs. Powers have the expertise and she was able to take the time needed to produce great results. For me she is a great knowledgeable realtor and I will be happy to recommend her and her company to anyone who asks my opinion.
Thumbs up to realtor Ruth Powers who found my perfect home. What would have been a stressful purchase was eased by her expertise.
Ruth Powers is an AMAZING agent!!! She has helped me through three moves in the past 8+ years and each time she has exceed her efforts from the last time!!! Anyone wanting extraordinary service (and who doesn't) should sign up with Ruth!!! The most recent \above and beyond\ thing Ruth did was, after her car broken down, walk nearly 2 miles in the blazing heat to make sure she got to my house on time to show it to a prospective buyer! Not for one second did she even consider rescheduling the appointment - a mark of a very dedicated agent!!! This is only one of many, many things Ruth does to serve her clients! Ruth has been an agent for many years and knows how to apply what she has learned over the years and continues to seek new resources of information - she knows how to work the market in your favor!!!
We are moving from Oregon to Austin Texas and worked with Ruth Powers. There is not enough room in the comments to provide the positive feedback we have about Ruth. She is patient, professional, and dedicated much of her time to helping us with the purchase and transition. Not sure how we could have done this without Ruth's help.
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
Angele has assisted in the purchase of three rental houses and helped me find tenants. She's competent, easy to work with, and I trust her completely. I recently listed my home with her.
Ruth is amazing. She works extremely hard. We have worked with her since we bought our first home. Every house that we own as a home or an investment, she excels in every transaction that takes place. We have learned tons about real estate and Austin from Ruth. In the past, I have worked with other agents to ...
Ruth has now helped me with two home purchases and the selling of one home. In all cases I was able to turn round my home and purchase my new homes in very easy fashion. She was able to step in when needed to create any undue concerns on my part. I have also recommended Ruth to many of my friends and colleagues, all of which have been just as pleased.
We have been working with Ruth E Powers with Realty Austin for about a year on finding a house in North Central Austin. She was great to work with! While it took awhile to find the right property (we were picky), she stuck with us. Ruth was very helpful. I don't know how many times we called on her to show us a listing but she was always there. Ruth is very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. This is the second time we used Ruth in buying a property; the first time was about 12 years ago. We highly recommend her.
Angele was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the real estate procedure and the neighborhoods in Austin. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!
Eric was great and referred me to his top agent Crystal who closed 2 homes for me one as a buyer one as a seller. Crystal, you rock! Your team was top notch. You were super professional, easy to work with, getting me the answers i needed and resulting in 2 successful transactions (buyer and seller). I interviewed 3 agents that day you being the last. You are head and shoulders above the rest, cool calm and knowledgeable, very easy to work with. You were responsive throughout the process and your team for interior design consulting/staging were simply stellar. you gave me the exact right amount of inputs for key listing decisions, and were able to handle every curveball I threw with grace. Simply put the experience was amazing, we listed on time and on budget, the place looks beautiful, and we got 5 offers in the first 5 days, at a full 10-15k higher than I would have guessed (your intuition for list price proved to be perfect as well). Finally you helped me navigate offer selection and final negotiation like a pro. We need more teams like yours in this world. Thanks for all you do!
