Ruth E. Powers

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.

Working with Ruth Powers and her team was an amazing experience. From the beginning when Ruth gave us suggestions on what home improvements might help the resale of our home, through the listing, and selling, Ruth was the best. She quick to respond and knows lots of resources to help with home improvements and moving. I would highly recommend Ruth and am grateful to her and her team. Our home showed well, sold quickly, and the process was seamless. Her team kept me informed along the way right through closing day. Thanks, Realty Austin!

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.

I had the good fortune of meeting Ruth twenty-one years ago when she was my agent and I bought my first house. Her knowledge of Austin communities and surrounding areas was so helpful. Since then, she has been our realtor as we have bought and sold 4 houses. She has also helped us lease one of these houses for over 15 years. She’s very personable, professional, smart and her previous 14 year background in corporate finance and MBA is an asset to her clients. She’s very hard working and meticulous both in buying and selling. Her connections with trustworthy contractors, landscapers, stagers, , handymen, you name it, proved to be a great resource. She provides outstanding service and expertise throughout the entire process. Now that we’ve moved out of state and are looking for a house, we miss her tremendously.

Ruth helped us to view many houses and (over months) to make multiple offers in a really, really tough market for buyers. Our low bids were our own fault! Ruth's guesses are always spot on. We finally had a bid accepted last month, and Ruth helped us re-negotiate after significant problems were discovered. Ruth has gone above and beyond for us, giving us far more time during this long search than we could reasonably have expected. She even helped us look for a rental when we'd basically given up. Her advice has always been immensely valuable and brutally honest. She is the most knowledgeable agent I've met on the Central Austin market. She also handled our stress well, and believe me, buying in Austin right now is stressful!
