We absolutely love working with our clients and we love nothing more than helping them have a wonderful buying or selling experience. Over the years, our clients have graciously written 1000+ reviews about their experiences on sites like Google, Yelp, & Zillow. We've collected them here.

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.


Ruth came highly recommended from many of my co-workers as they had used her in the past with purchasing or selling, or both, homes in the Austin area. Being new to Austin and not connected, I connected with Ruth based on their recommendations and trust. Ruth was constantly responsive to my communication and worked hard to set up appointments with houses that met many of the criteria on my \must have\lists. She also understood when my work got very busy, and I needed to put this whole process on hold for a while until a time I was ready to re-commit to this process. I greatly appreciated Ruth&'s flexibility and knowledge about the market, the city, and the process. Though this was not my first home purchase, Ruth helped me acclimate to the Austin-area market and ways of doing business. When I finally settled on a home, Ruth's skills were most utilized in the negotiations and keeping the home buying process moving forward. Her ability to act on my behalf with the builder's agent and her ability to light fires when needed were invaluable to me, especially when we had a tight timeline to close on my home. At closing, Ruth made sure to walk through the paperwork with me, and was looking out for my best interests in making sure payments and language was included in the contract to protect me from overdrafts and delinquent payments. I appreciate all that Ruth and the Realty Austin team did for me during this process. I ended up with a beautiful home, and am very happy with the process.


Just wanted to drop a note to say that Ruth was wonderful as expected. She was available every step of the way and handled any issue that arose professionally and quickly. In a very tight window, we were able to get to closing on schedule. Thanks, Ruth!


Ruth was amazing! I strongly recommend Ruth to anyone in need of a real estate agent. She treated me like family!


I highly recommend Ruth Powers. She made a horrible experience of renting/selling my home a breeze. She was extremely flexible and accommodating. I don't know what I would have done without her over these past couple of years, and I don't know where to begin to sing my praises about Ruth. She was simply amazing. I had to move back to Wisconsin; you can imagine owning a home that far away would be a challenge. Ruth was there to help me with the house all the way through. I have no idea what would have happened had she not be there to guide me with the house. She is efficient, flexible and accommodating. I have been recommending her to all my friends back in Austin. This doesn't do her justice but it is a glimpse at what an amazing job she does for your company.

 


We've relocated several times and had both good and bad experiences. Moving to Austin has been an overall pleasant experience, and Ruth was the key. Ruth made this relocation as easy as moving gets! Ruth has intelligence, knowledge, and compassion. She understands both the people and the market. There are a lot of people out there willing to sell you a house, but Ruth helped us to make Austin our new home.


Steve and I agree that Ruth is a very good agent. We found her to be very pleasant to work with. She is a hard worker and went the extra mile in a number of cases. I always felt Ruth had our best interest at heart. We found her to be responsive to our requests and calm through some very challenging issues. We would be glad to recommend Ruth to others and will do so if given the opportunity.


The fact that I have already decided that Ruth will be the agent to help me buy my next house is a pretty good indicator of how impressed I am with her work. I thought she did a fantastic job not only as an agent but also as a facilitator in every step of the process. Ruth was there for us, always listening patiently, offering valuable suggestions and counsel, and trying to make sure our interests as sellers were not compromised. She was knowledgeable, always available, terrific with timelines and responses, and relentlessly energetic. We couldn't have asked for more. I am particularly impressed with her integrity, dedication to the project at hand, and her willingness to go the extra mile to make things happen. Her personality shines just like the excellent work she does. She is a fantastic agent, and you all are lucky to have her! Thanks to the entire team for the wonderful work! I would recommend them to all my friends and acquaintances. I surely would be a returning customer in the future.


Ruth Powers is an excellent real estate agent! She is very patient and has a great sense of humor. She drove me to over 30 houses, some of which she knew I would not be interested in, but took me anyway because I insisted! She is very knowledgeable about the area and about the houses and where they were situated, such as behind a fire station. She also has been a lot of help with all the questions I needed answered about the paperwork once I chose a house. I would recommend Ruth to everyone who wants a very good real estate agent!

 


Angele is exceptional! Through her thoughtful and unique marketing approach and ‘can-do’ mentality, she sold our midcentury modern home more quickly than we dreamed possible! When we decided to list, we knew that we would need a realtor with an out-of-the-box mindset and great networks in the MCM community, as we live in a small town, and the value of MCM homes is not as appreciated as it is in larger cities. Angele exceeded our expectations every step of the way! She listens carefully to the client’s input, makes herself very available, communicates often and well, and is exceptionally hard-working. Angele found the perfect buyer (who loves her new home) and closed the sale in an unbelievably short timeframe. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! We highly recommend Angele Moyseos to anyone looking for a great realtor who demonstrates tremendous integrity!!


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.
