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!!!

 


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!


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.


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


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!


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 ...


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 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.


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.


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!


Ruth Powers is the best agent ever. I loved working with Ruth. I have told my friends and old neighbors to call her and let her work her magic.


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’ve known Ruth for years! We tried moving to Austin about 15 years ago. A relative recommended Ruth to help us find a home. I can honestly say she was so patient! She drove us all over town for several days. We ended up not buying until 2017. I love working with Ruth, and she always has your best interest in mind. She is very kind and honest. I’ve worked with other real estate agents in the past, and Ruth is by far the best. Even though we were faced with horrible odds due to COVID-19, she did a phenomenal job following through with our home..


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!


Julie is very knowledgeable and she went out of her way to ensure that we, as first time home buyers, understood every part of the process. She took time out to patiently explain every section of the contract and sale deed to us so we know what we are getting into!


I worked with Lynn Wise and her knowledge of the area is unmatched. She was able to provide me with invaluable information about the local neighborhoods and the pros and cons of each area. This helped me to make an informed decision about where to purchase my new home.

I would highly recommend Lynn Wise to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable realtor. Her attention to detail, personal touch, and commitment to her clients make her a top-notch choice for anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
