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 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


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!


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 ...


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.
