About Our Team
Maple Ave Living
Through the many years of selling real estate we realize that what we do is NOT about the houses we sell but instead the PEOPLE we are lucky to work with. We become partners with you, helping you find the best fit for your family. Where you live and the home you live in, impact your life in a large way.
Maple Ave Living focuses not only on your home but on your community.
Where you choose to live should be determined by your lifestyle, your interests, your hobbies, your job location, and your social network – it’s about family, friends, and community.
We approach real estate from a new angle. We get to know our clients and understand their needs. We consider the factors that impact your life and then personalize our services to help you.
Our goal is to help build community, share experiences, and help clients discover the lifestyle that fits their needs.
We believe that Northern Virginia with its many incredible communities such as Vienna is a special place to live. We believe it’s the best place to live. We’d love to help you discover your home and your lifestyle.

Congratulations to our sellers!🎉🎉
It was such a pleasure to work with them to sell their beautiful home in McLean. Thank you Rennert’s for your kind review. ❤️👇🏻👇🏻
What an amazing experience with Rebecca Rushforth and the whole team at Maple Avenue Living in selling our home in Northern Virginia this Fall, 2024. We were looking to more quickly on the sale of our home and Rebecca and the team were incredibly fast, energetic, responsive, understanding, and in every way in sync with what we wanted to accomplish every step of the way. Rebecca presented an extraordinarily detailed and comprehensive plan for marketing and selling the home — and followed through on each and every detail with the utmost care, including in the negotiations with the buyer to get to yes. So many things truly stand out that it is difficult to highlight all of them. But in particular, the plan for presentation of the home, including staging an empty home, was thorough, well thought out, and implemented to a T; numerous hours were spent in preparing the house and then holding open houses to showcase it; negotiations with the buyer’s agent were handled professionally and with great skill. And the communication was flawless — we were informed about everything and our input was solicited and implemented immediately at all stages of the process. I suppose if you look hard enough you may find another agent that is as skilled, professional, and knowledgeable as Rebecca and her team. But I can assure you will not find someone as trustworthy, as diligent, as good a listener, as good a communicator, and as extraordinarily friendly and kind as Rebecca. Do yourself a favor and engage her and the team in the sale or purchase of your next home — it will be the best decision you ever make.
We use something called the absorption rate to evaluate the rate at which available homes are sold in a specific market during a given period.
📊 This equation can also be reversed to identify how long it would take for the current supply to sell. 🕒
✨ Key insights:
5-7 months of inventory = Balanced market ⚖️
<6 months of inventory = Sellers’ market 🏡
6 months of inventory = Buyers’ market 🛒
For example, in Vienna, the current months of inventory vary by price point:
💲 Under $500,000:
43 homes sold last year.
Currently <1 month of inventory = Sellers’ market 🔥
🏡 Single-Family Homes:
Under $1M: 126 homes sold, 3 active homes.
Currently <1 month of inventory = Sellers’ market 💪
$1M-$2.5M: 455 homes sold, 40 active homes.
Currently 1 month of inventory = Sellers’ market 🏡
$2.5M+: 24 homes sold, 29 active homes.
14 months of inventory = Buyers’ market 💼
We’re always keeping an eye on the trends for you and are happy to answer any questions. 🤝

Sharing some of our holiday team favorites … We love this time of year. What are your favorite holiday movies, traditions, local places to visit and foods?
So pleased for our sellers that closed today! Their home sold for the top sales price in the Miller Heights neighborhood this year — and they only had to show it one time! They were considering selling in the Spring but took photos in the fall to be prepared - and then found the perfect buyer who wanted the home. Loved working with @gizelle.and.co_compass. We are happy to put our network to work for you too! 🎉 #listingagent #listingspecialist #sellinghomes #oaktonva

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." 💡✨

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!
