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.
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!
