Molly Parks is the best realtor I know. I've used her services for well over a decade. She's always on the ball, and really knows the ins & outs of the Austin market, property mgmt- she's just knowledgable about real estate in general. She's prompt and courteous, and down to earth. proud to call her a friend. Hire Molly!

 


Jan Daum is the most impressive realtor we have ever dealt with. We are not novices with buying and selling houses. Jan knows her stuff: she knows so much about the neighborhoods, she is the definition of proactive, and does she know the ins and out of this business! But Jan brought - and continues to bring - amazing extras to the experience. She combines a sincere friendliness, genuine caring with a high level of professionalism - a gift in this business. We continue to get her monthly "to do" newsletters to help us understand our new neighborhood. Jan will periodically reach out to just check in. 100% satisfied with our experience with Jan Daum and know who to contact when we are in the market again. She was instrumental in our integration to our home, our community and helping us follow our dreams.


Julie was our realtor and she was with us every step if the way! As new home buyers, there was a lot of new info that would have been overwhelming had it not been for Julie taking the time to go over the details of every step of the process. Her patience is unmatched and her team was so helpful. They're the reason I'm able to write this review from my new master bedroom Julie was our realtor and she was with us every step if the way!

Buying a new house shouldn't be that hard and Molly Parks was definitely on our side when we purchased our home December 2019. Molly was our advocate from the beginning until closing. she was personable, quick to respond when we had mountains of questions, eased our minds throughout the process and most of all, she gave us our FIRST housewarming gift. Geaux (I'm from Louisiana) with MOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!


After renting in Austin since 2012, Corrine Elgin turned me into an Austin homeowner! This wasn't easy, as I picked the most challenging period in recent history to be a homebuyer. Also given the parameters that I didn't want to move to the outskirts of town to be far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Corrine spent many hours each day gathering houses to consider, creating a list to visit, and driving me to probably close to 30 houses over roughly a month. We made offers on five houses that I recall, as Corrine guided me through that challenging process. And while I was approaching the point of giving up, Corrine refused to do the same -- so thankful, as it resulted in the offer on the 5th house being accepted! Every step of the way she made me feel confident enough to keep battling and it paid off. I couldn't have done it without her.


I am so glad that a friend recommended Ruth as a Realtor. She was so helpful and went
way beyond her duty to help get my dad's house ready to sell. I would not have been able
to do all of the preparations on my own. Thanks also to your team. They were professional,
experienced, kind, patient, and informative.


Ruth is the best realtor I have ever known in my 40+ years of doing real estate
transactions. Anyone who is fortunate to have her services will have the greatest
opportunity for satisfaction and success!


I’m grateful for the dynamic, excellent service I received with Realty Austin! Ruth Powers and her
team are amazing! Courteous, patient, and thorough with every detail, we closed in record time!
Satisfied completely!

 


Ruth was great, and if I had to go through this again, I'd want her, who knows the ropes, to take care of buying and selling.  For selling, it was stressful, especially at a time when the Pandemic level was quite high. We got
through it, though. For buying, since it was new construction, we would keep in touch off and on during the whole
build process. There was a hiccup at the end as the builder wanted to adjust the purchase agreement, but we managed to come through. She listened to me vent out in frustration, but it worked out in the end. I would definitely recommend her if friends are looking to move or buy.


As much as I would like to express what Ruth has been to us through this process, honestly, it will be an injustice. But know this, there is no way anyone else could have done what Ruth did. Honestly, I will not go to any other Realtor other than Ruth on our way back to Central Texas.


Ruth Powers was our real estate agent for the recent sale of our NW Austin home. Ruth, as always, was an exceptional agent and pays attention to the details during all aspects of putting a home on the market and follows through to the very end during closing. We have used Ruth as our agent several times in the past, whether buying or selling homes in Austin, and we will continue to seek her services in future real estate dealings. If you want someone who will be a strong advocate for you, Ruth is your agent!


Ruth has been a Godsend! I would have been completely lost in this whole process if it wasn’t
for her and the extra miles she hurdled for me. I will definitely follow the links below and write a review this evening! I cannot say thank you enough, Ruth! I look forward to doing business with you in the future!


I can not express my gratitude and absolute happiness in dealing with Ruth Powers of Realty Austin. She is the ultimate professional and the most caring person possible. She sold my home to me originally, and there was no one I would have asked to sell my home when I was ready to move. I have already recommended her to numerous friends in Austin, and in my opinion, she is the best real estate agent in Austin. She has been in the business for so long and knows everything/everyone, and is willing to work hard to make things happen. My sale went so smoothly, and we got a great price, and I couldn’t be happier. Exemplary, personalized service is EXACTLY what I got with Ruth Powers!!!!! 5-star rating for sure!!


We had a wonderful experience with Ruth E. Powers. She was looking out for us at every step of the
way in the process of buying a new home from the start to closing. Highly recommend Ruth if you're
looking for a good realtor!


Ruth has an impressive and stellar combination of personality and professionalism. My wife and I were lucky to have chosen Ruth as our real estate agent over a decade ago to help us buy our house. As a savvy businesswoman, she has stayed in touch with us since that time. Thank you, Ruth, for all of your solid, good, knowledgable, and hard work.


Kudos to Ruth E. Powers with Realty Austin. This was the 3rd time that Ruth served as my realtor. First to sell a central Austin home, buy a downtown Austin Condo, and just now sell the Austin condo. Never a second thought about calling Ruth to guide and advise me-- and again, she did it all, with aplomb and as a very experienced realtor. Quick responses to my many questions, from stag in to closing. Thank you, Ruth.


Ashley has been my realtor for the last few years. She’s done 3 transactions with me and countless others with friends and family. She’s very responsive and helps add value to my decision making process. Her local knowledge has been very helpful over the years as Austin continues to change. I’d highly recommend her.


Ruth is 10 out of 10, and we will continue to have her as our top referral to friends or family looking for an Austin Realtor!


I was lucky enough to have Ruth Powers as my agent recently. She helped me find exactly what I was looking for. It's the right size, in the right area and so on. She returned my calls and emails lighting fast. No one had to recommend her to me because she also helped me find a house years ago. In other words I highly recommend Ruth!


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!
