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 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.


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!


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 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.
