Ruth E. Powers
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!
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.
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..
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!
Ruth was awesome. She helped me buy a house and sell a house with lots of obstacles in between. I really appreciate all the hard work that she put into these efforts. I give her a 5-star rating.
Ruth is an incredible person! She listens, is kind, and is a stellar professional. Even though this market is crazy, she is very calm and acts in a very rational manner. No need for drama, just personal outcomes that work! Relationships are built on trust, and I would highly recommend her to friends and family. Her character is a hall of fame in my book!
Ruth Powers did a phenomenal job for us. We have additional properties we wish to sell, and Ruth will represent us on each one. She was referred to us by a satisfied customer, and we recommend her as well.
I have known Ruth for almost 50 years, and I can honestly say she is one of the finest persons I have ever known. I knew Ruth would be an amazing, successful real estate agent, as she possesses the exact qualities every agent should strive to emulate. She is kind, caring, honest, attentive, considerate, and thoughtful, not to mention extremely knowledgeable. Ruth always goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She seems to know what you need before you have expressed it to her. I always refer her to anyone I know or meet needing realty services, knowing that Ruth will never disappoint. Should she be unable to respond to the need, she will surely make sure to suggest another agent who can be contacted...that's super customer service!!
My experience with Ruth was entirely positive. She did an outstanding job with marketing our ranch. Ruth presented the property in a positive manner, was very attentive to prospective buyers, kept us fully informed, and was very responsive to our questions and concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.
I have been working with Ruth for over 2 years now, and she is not just my agent but a friend as well. I admire so many qualities about her, but what would make me go back to her for all future real estate needs are her integrity, honesty, and genuine desire to help a client in all possible ways. She has worked tirelessly to find me a home and offered her insights to make wise choices. Given how insane the Austin housing market is right now, your agent is your guide, your navigator, and your lifeline as well, and she has stepped in a 120% during this stressful time. She works exceedingly hard to address questions and issues, never fails to communicate in a timely manner, always tries to find answers and solutions, and watches out for my interests. What else can you ask for? Ruth is a wonderful human being and an exemplary agent. I am lucky to have found her, and she will be my agent in the foreseeable future. I wish her and Realty Austin great success!
Ruth Powers is an outstanding real estate agent and also a really nice person. I highly recommend her if you are looking at buying or selling your home.
The Ruth Powers I know has been a phenomenal agent/friend in both the purchasing and selling of houses for me. Since 2006, Ruth found 2 great investment houses for me, and negotiated the sale of 3 others that I already owned. But, most important of all, Ruth found the most perfect home for my parents. Last year I needed to move my aging parents to Austin. Almost every day, my parents say how grateful they are to be in the same town with their daughters, and what a \castle\" they now live in. The location of the home meant everything to them...nearCatholic church, quiet street, and friendly, caring neighbors. A special celebration has not gone by without Ruth dropping off a plant, flowers, food, or a special gift for them. She has even rearranged her schedule to walk/run with my 81-year-old mother. I am not the easiest person to deal with. In fact, I am awful to work with/for. So, I know she used all her people skills in keeping me calm and collected during all our negotiations. Ruth is more than a real estate agent. She accepted my texts and phone calls at hours of the day and night that most people would ignore. She has always been thoughtful, kind, considerate and patient with me, and with those that I have referred. What some may claim to be a fault...total honesty; others know as a virtue. My experience at today's closing was like all the others - GREAT!
I worked with Ruth Powers, and she is wonderful. I met her while helping a friend house hunt, and then asked her to help me find my next home. Ruth knows houses really well, like what you can repair, what you should push back on, and what you can improve. She is VERY responsive, which is imperative in this Austin market. I highly recommend her.
Ruth Powers helped my wife, and I buy our new home, and I can't say enough good things about her. Not only did she help us buy, but she helped us sell our current home even though she wasn't the Realtor we were using to sell. The Realtor we were using to sell was so bad it was embarrassing and extremely stressful, but Ruth helped answer our questions for stuff that she wasn't even being compensated for, and it allowed us to move forward to get our new home. Plus, she was there for the inspection of our new home asking question after question that I would have never asked. My wife and I are beyond grateful and highly recommend her
Ruth was fantastic! When we bought our current house, Ruth was the seller's agent and she was never pushy, she made us feel comfortable with the process and was very professional in all of our discussions. So when it came to selling our house, we interviewed 3 agents just to do our due diligence, but again Ruth's professionalism was a step above the rest. During the selling process, we always felt Ruth had our best interest in mind and would not settle for anything substandard and I have fairly high standards. Although there were some challenges during the sale (all from the buyer's side), Ruth fought for our positions and did a great job of insulating us from some of the craziness and always remained calm and collected, which provided us with peace of mind during the process. Ruth is an outstanding professional and we were blessed to find her and work with her. I highly recommend Ruth and can only hope to work with her again in the future.
This was our second time working with Ruth Powers. She is an excellent Realtor who helped us find the best home. Even after we closed, she continues to help us with items that have come up. My wife and I appreciate the effort that Ruth puts in to help us find the best home and highly recommend her.
Ruth Powers made selling and buying in this crazy Austin market a pleasure. She knew when to advise and when to step back, always there to make our experience as easy as possible.
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 ...
