“Andrea and her team are amazing. They marshalled the process of our first purchase in this area. We have rented for 7 years and were nervous buyers. Andrea managed the whole process with ease and was a great negotiator on our behalf. We were very happy with the negotiated price. She was especially calm when our financing fell through only 2 weeks before closing. Andrea managed the sellers agent while we scrambled and found a new lender. We will not go anywhere else for an agent in this area. The process is so much more complex than we thought. You need Andrea on your side!! We highly recommend her and the team at Maple Ave Living!” Read More ▾

“We could not have been happier with the experience we had selling our Vienna home with Rebecca and Andrea! Our house sold before it went to market and for well over asking price. We have no doubt that, while the market was "hot," it was the dedication of the Maple Ave Living Team that made the process not only super easy but enjoyable! Rebecca and Andrea think of EVERYTHING - from the smallest, most thoughtful touches to the a wealth of knowledge of real estate in the area. They had a perfect plan for us to show our home at its best and we always felt that they wanted us to be happy - not just as sellers but as Vienna residents who loved our home and our town. We are 100% certain that no other company would have worked as hard, as creatively, as enthusiastically, and with as much heart and professionalism as MAL. Forever grateful!” Read More ▾

“Andrea and her team helped me sell my prior house and purchase a new home. Doing both at the same time required a lot of moving parts and Andrea helped me walk through every step. Not only did Andrea get me three offers within 2 days but all offers were above list. At the same time she helped me get seller concessions on my new home and guided me through a very competitive market. One of her greatest strengths is her attention to detail. Her staging ideas were effective in completely transforming my home with a few brilliant touches. It really looked like a different home. So happy with her work and would highly recommend!” Read More ▾

“Stephanie is professional, diplomatic, creative, connected, and communicative. In our case, perhaps the most important attribute has been her resourcefulness. Our finished basement needed a few tweaks to be market-ready. She “had a guy.” Through her connections with a handyman, who was also very connected to subcontractors, we were able to address these items in a matter of days. And she made contact with her handyman. She did not expect us to contact him and make arrangements. When one of the subcontractors was late to our job, she got in touch with the handyman to find out why there was a delay. The contractor was at our property within 30 minutes. Given the struggles average homeowners are having these days with finding good home repair workers, then getting them to actually do the work in a timely fashion, it was a relief to have had Stephanie managing this process for us. She also had connections to buyers who were interested in our neighborhood. She gave us the option of offering our home to four prospects as a “preview marketing” opportunity. Even though we weren’t on the “open market,” we still got multiple contracts and over asking price for our home. We can’t think of a single negative to share about Stephanie and highly recommend her services. It’s a shame these reviews are limited to 5-stars because we would rate our experience a 5-plus.” Read More ▾

“Andrea was lifesaver for us. After an unexpected move, she had our house cleaned out, painted, carpeted, staged and under contract in less than 4 weeks (without us even being there). She is incredibly organized and hard working. She had a clear plan for us immediately and we were kept in the loop at every stage. She is VERY good at what she does. We cannot say enough good things about Andrea and her team.” Read More ▾

“Stephanie Hougaard is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She helped me list and sell my home in Virginia. Stephanie helped with every step of the long process. She helped me declutter my home, take beautiful, professional pictures of, list it, and then work extremely professionally to manage a delicate situation. The buyers ended up being friends of ours with whom we wanted to maintain good relationships. Stephanie helped us navigate the situation perfectly--she worked tirelessly to meet our needs while helping us maintain wonderful relationships with our friends. She was extremely proficient with all of the many deadlines and details required when selling a home. It was a difficult home for us to sell as we had lived in it for 10 years and remodeled it top to bottom. It was also an emotional time for my family since it was the only home my 4 children had ever remembered living in. Stephanie took care of all everything so my husband and I could focus on helping our family transition to our new home in Florida. Moving is often a difficult, emotional time so if you're considering buying or selling a home, hire Stephanie Hougaard. Stephanie will work tirelessly to make the move as easy as possible for you and your family.” Read More ▾

“Andrea and her team are the best. My wife and I were so grateful to have Andrea be part of the journey for our first home. She is very responsive and always answered our questions with patience and professionalism (as you can image, we were first time home buyers, so we have A LOT of questions). She made the home buying experience way less stressful because she took the time to find us the ideal home and never rushed us into putting on an offer unless we are "absolutely comfortable." Andrea also gave us great advice when we made our offer and ultimately helped us to knock down the contract. She has been remarkable not just on day one but every step of the way. I highly recommend Andrea and her team! We will definitely work with them again for our future home buying/selling.” Read More ▾

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Hougaard to sell our home in Fair Oaks Estates. Our experience with Stephanie was stellar from start to finish and was an absolute dream come true! We have never met another realtor who has more local knowledge and process expertise than Stephanie, or who is a more personable, warm and caring person then she is. She was highly responsive to any questions that we had during the process and she also provided us with regular updates. Stephanie has so many strengths (we could go on for days describing them!) and among them is her attention to detail. When we saw the listing package that she created for our home we were totally blown away- the staging that Stephanie did at our house, combined with professional and stunning photos, were more than we could have ever imagined possible. Our house looked so great that we almost didn't want to sell it, that says a lot! Thanks to Stephanie, our house had multiple offers and went under contract quickly, and for well over the asking price. Stephanie truly cared about us throughout the process and went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of and we are proud now to call her a dear friend.” Read More ▾

“Stephanie will provide you the best experience possible! The entire process was amazing because Stephanie truly cares. Knowledgeable, professional, organized and extremely hard working, Stephanie made what can be a very stressful process simple. Stephanie went the extra mile in every way while helping us get ready to sell the home, during the negotiations and then navigating the final details of the process. She even spent hours with me when an appliance broke helping to fix it with us prior to an open house to help save us the cost of a repair person. I can't recommend Stephanie and her expertise enough. You will be so pleased with the service you receive working with her from start to finish. Stephanie is warm, reliable and determined to help make the process easier for her clients-she takes care of everything for you. Amazing attention to detail, Stephanie is so passionate and considerate of your goals throughout the entire process. You won't regret selecting Stephanie as your representative!” Read More ▾

“My wife and sold our Vienna home in early March 2020 and can only recommend Rebecca and Andrea for their wholehearted support in the whole process. They are extremely customer focused and professional; keeping us informed through every important decision and phase, planning and setting the right price point (provide detailed analysis of comp properties), listing, staging and ultimately running the open house and closing contracts. They combine strong commercial know-how with a very human touch - always keeping in mind that we are selling our home (not just another house). Most satisfying of all we got a very good sale well above our asking price - the ultimate proof that you are in very good hands with Maple Avenue Living.” Read More ▾
