“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 ▾

This Week on the Maple Ave Minute: Embracing Jolie Laide!
We`re shifting gears from market trends to the design world, diving into a bold trend poised to define 2025: Jolie Laide—French for "pretty-ugly." 💡✨
This movement breaks away from perfectly styled spaces and celebrates quirky, conversation-starting pieces that showcase YOUR personality. 🎨🏡 According to Elle Decor, it`s the ultimate rebellion against the "magazine-ready" look, and we’re here for it!
I’ll share a personal Jolie Laide addition from my home—now it’s your turn! Drop a comment: Is this trend a hit or miss for 2025? 💬👇
👉 Watch now and join the conversation—let’s hear YOUR take on this playful trend!

What an incredible transformation at 2717 Glencroft Road! Can’t wait to find another house to make beautiful for another lucky buyer. ✨✨
🏡 Just Sold! 🎉
We are thrilled to announce the sale of 2717 Glencroft Road in Vienna! This property was a true gem from the start, with its incredible location, neighborhood, and solid bones.
We purchased this house in June and embarked on a full renovation, gutting it from top to bottom. Our vision was to transform it into a stunning home, and we’re proud to say we achieved just that!
The best part? We sold this beautiful property pre-market for the highest price ever recorded in the neighborhood! It was an exciting and rewarding journey, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project. We look forward to bringing more amazing homes to life in the future! 🏠✨
