“Stephanie Hougaard is an incredible real estate agent to work with. We were lucky enough to sell our townhome and purchase a single family home with Stephanie by our side every step of the way. She was dedicated to helping us prepare our town home to sell for a great price. She helped us with how to best update and … present our home. She arranged for staging that was beyond what I thought my home could look like. Additionally, our home buying needs were very specific and Stephanie did everything she could to find that home for our family. She was patient, kind, hard working and communicative to us throughout the process. Her customer service skills with us and the other individuals involved were exemplary. Stephanie is very knowledgeable in the real estate market. We are very grateful for her help on our journey.” Read More ▾

“Andrea and the team at Maple Ave Living 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 had a wonderful experience with our realtor, Rebecca Rushforth, and the whole Maple Ave. Living team. Rebecca made our home buying experience enjoyable, and it was evident how hard she was working for us during a time when the market was “crazy!” Rebecca was extremely responsive, always accommodated our schedules, and answered our many questions at all hours. On … the very rare occasion Rebecca was unavailable, another member of the Maple Ave. team would immediately step-in to assist us or take us to a showing. Rebecca was able to find us our dream home, which we got for list price and with contingencies – something nearly unheard of in the current market. In addition to providing excellent, professional service, the Maple Ave. team also treated us as friends. They truly go out of their way to show appreciation to their clients (they also value the communities in which they work which and support other local businesses – amazing!). I would recommend Rebecca or anyone on the Maple Ave. team to everyone I know. We had the most wonderful home buying experience, and if we weren’t already living in our dream house, we would choose them again!” Read More ▾

“Stephanie was so professional, but also warm and personable from the moment she walked in our home. Not only was she very familiar with the current market and highly knowledgeable of our neighborhood and area, she was the most detailed agent I have ever worked with. Unlike other agents we'd worked with in the past, she made sure that we … reviewed and discussed every possible part of our home that could potentially be raised as an issue in the sale and discussed her recommendations with us. We agreed on a plan to prepare our home for market with the goal of a quick sell at top dollar. She definitely delivered! We had a high price offer the first weekend on market. Her services didn't stop there. She was very helpful with us during the moving process and even made arrangements for cleaning services as well as for the trash to be collected after we were gone. Stephanie provided top of the line, full service from beginning to end! I'd definitely recommend working with Stephanie!” Read More ▾

“I would give Rebecca and Maple Ave Living 10+ Stars if I could!⭐️ They are truly amazing! Rebecca is easy to communicate with, so personable and generous with her time. She is responsive to all forms of communication including text, email, and phone calls. She has incredible knowledge and is honest with the information she gives you. She will never … tell you anything unless she believes it to be the truth. She will walk you through concerns and explain everything to you in the most unassuming way. She also knows what "hustle" means. I haven't seen a woman who throws more energy, time, and care into her scope of work. Rebecca helped us sell our home in Oakton last month for top dollar and went above and beyond. Can you believe, she came over and helped me sweep my floors and wash my windows...what realtor does that??? SHE DOES! I had the most amazing experience with her and wish I could have taken her with me to help me find a home in Georgia. I honestly think she is invaluable. She's the type of person that you wish you could just keep in your life and make her your best friend.” Read More ▾

“2020 was a tough year, and our family decided to purchase our first home. Andrea was remarkably helpful buying the house. She worked well beyond what one could expect, staying in touch constantly start from the house hunting stage and even after we moved in! I highly recommend her. If anyone needs a careful, loving, honest agent, Andrea will be … our top 1 recommendation as a professional agent. If we buy another house in VA area in the near future, Andrea will still be our agent for sure!” Read More ▾

“Andrea didn't let one detail slip from start to finish, we've never had such a smooth real-estate experience. She is personable and easy to work with, and has great people skills. She was creative in her approach to marketing our home at a slow time of year, and open to doing anything we wanted to help sell our home She … was always prompt and proactive in each stage of the process, from getting our home ready to list through to closing of the sale of our home. We wish we could bottle her up and have her do every real estate transaction for us from here on out. Couldn't have been a better experience.” 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 ▾

“Andrea was such a huge help for us in selling our house in Vienna. We had a lot on our hands with a newborn baby and two other kids, but Andrea completely took care of us! She helped us stage our house and get it ready to list. We received multiple offers above asking price, and Andrea walked us through … all the offers, so we felt confident in our decision. Andrea kept us informed throughout the selling process and was available to answer any questions we had. We felt very satisfied with the whole process and could not have felt more taken care of. We would recommend Andrea to anyone in the Northern Virginia area!” 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 ▾

“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 ▾
