Ruth E. Powers

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 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.


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.


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!


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.


Ruth Powers is an excellent realtor. She knows what she's doing and looks out for her clients. She's great!

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.


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.


Thumbs up to realtor Ruth Powers who found my perfect home. What would have been a stressful purchase was eased by her expertise.


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 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!!!
