Testimonials

Amy and Bob Puelz

Ruthann Royal found us our forever home in a tight Austin neighborhood where properties rarely hit the public listings. She identified the house before it officially went on the market and negotiated a final price below the asking amount. Her proactive approach and deep knowledge of Austin’s local market made the process seamless and stress-free. She is well connected in the realtor community, which made our outcome possible. We highly recommend Ruthann to anyone buying or selling in Austin. We feel lucky to have worked with Ruthann and know she can help others navigate the Austin area Real estate market.

Ruthann has been such a lifesaver for us! She helped my sister last year and then helped both of us find our most recent lease — and it was exactly what we were hoping for. She knows the market inside and out, and she never hesitated to line up a showing, even when we called last minute. She made the whole process stress-free and actually fun. We’re so grateful for her hard work and can’t recommend her enough!

Cameron Cavaricci

Ruthann is absolutely amazing! This is the second year in a row she’s helped me find a lease that checked all my boxes. She’s so knowledgeable about the market and was always happy to jump on a last-minute showing when something new popped up. She made the whole process simple and seamless from start to finish. Ruthann is always the first person I call — I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you, Ruthann!

Ruthann was an incredible asset to my fiancé and I during our move from San Antonio to Austin. She spent many weekends with us, patiently helping us locate and tour properties that checked our long-list of requirements. Even when we faced disappointment from houses that selected other candidates, Ruthann helped us find a home that exceeded our expectations and advocated to find us a property within our budget. She was highly communicative about the rental process, letting us know updates about tours, properties, and landlords along the way. Moving between cities is always a stressful endeavor, but Ruthann mitigated the strain of locating a home around every turn. I will (and have already) recommend Ruthann to any renter or buyer looking for a highly-professional and personable realtor. She truly is the best!

An Exceptional Experience with Ruth Ann Royal! I can’t recommend Ruth Ann Royal enough! She was an absolute pleasure to work with in finding my two-bedroom, two-bath rental home. From start to finish, Ruth Ann consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my needs. Her deep market knowledge was invaluable, as she helped me navigate the rental market with ease and confidence. She offered insights into various neighborhoods, showing me listings that were not only within my budget but also matched my specific preferences. Ruth Ann’s efficiency in handling all the paperwork, communication, and follow-ups was impressive, making the entire process feel seamless. But what set her apart was her personal touch. She listened attentively to what I was looking for and truly understood what would make me feel at home in my new place. Throughout the process, Ruth Ann remained personable, responsive, and always ready to answer questions or address any concerns. In a competitive rental market, having someone as knowledgeable and dedicated as Ruth Ann made all the difference. I’m thrilled with my new home, and I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and support. If you're looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares and knows the market inside and out, Ruth Ann is the one!

Ruthann is an excellent professional from start to finish. After admiring her social media marketing for some time, I reached out with questions about navigating the current market. With industry changes and price fluctuations, we were a bit concerned about selling our Austin home. Ruthann took any and all questions seriously (including whether we should consider going with a discount broker) and answered completely with data and patience. Ruthann did the work - she toured homes to better understand our little neighborhood, she did a market analysis to help determine timing and price. Her work made our decisions easy and quick. Her commitment to a pleasant process was evident and greatly appreciated - we were never "on our own" as Ruthann provides all support needed for the process. Trust and competence in one package. We do not regret a single aspect of our relationship with Ruthann and highly recommend her for your next sale or purchase.

Ruthann is a spectacular realtor to work with! We have worked with a few other realtors in the past, however we enjoyed working with Ruthann the most. She is very responsive, thoughtful, and professional with her work. Specifically, we needed to view a property and sign some papers within a day to secure the spot, and she was able to get it done for us. Highly recommend working with her!

My fiancé and I worked with Ruthann when looking for a house in the Austin area this past summer. I’ve known Ruthann for 10+ years and knew her knowledge of Austin’s neighborhoods would be helpful when searching for our new home. Working with Ruthann was not only informative, but also enjoyable, and she was always happy to work around our busy schedules to meet for viewings. I’d highly recommend her to anyone in their 20-30s looking to purchase in Austin, particularly for first-time homebuyers like ourselves, where she helped to guide us through the home buying process. While we didn’t end up purchasing this recent time, we never felt pressured or a burden to Ruthann, and when we do decide to buy in the future we’ll be working with her again.
