Testimonials

“Andrea was a godsend for us as my husband and I had to pack up our home and family and relocate across the country in a matter of days. She and her team worked tirelessly to get our house ready to put on the market. She staged our home beautifully, got pictures and flyers sent out within a couple of days, held two open houses, and even brought us dinner and dessert one night in the midst of our packing chaos. Our house was under contract within 72 hours with multiple above list price offers. She communicated with us newbie home sellers and took time to answer all of our questions and concerns. Our house closed within a few weeks without a hitch. You can’t go wrong with Andrea and her team. Seriously the best.” Read More ▾

“We have bought and sold many houses and worked with lots of different realtors, Andrea was by far our favorite! She helped us buy our home and then also helped us sell it when we had to move again. Both experiences were extremely easy and seamless. She is organized, professional, caring, a hard worker and just goes above and beyond to make things as easy as possible. If I could take her with me to everywhere we move I would.” 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 ▾

“I honestly cannot say enough about Rebecca Rushforth. We met at an open house and she really made me feel comfortable right away. I was in the market for my first home but really did not know where to start. She made me feel comfortable right away. Rebecca was there for the entire process. She asked important questions and found a home for me and my daughters that was perfect- and premarket!! No bidding wars, just an easy transition. She knows so many people-including a handyman/painter! When you have so little time for trying to find the perfect home-Rebecca is the go to person! She is so caring and still keeps up with me and my daughters. 5 stars seems so little when compared to her hard work-I would give Rebecca and the entire Maple Ave Living group a 10!!!” 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 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 ▾

“Rebecca listed and sold our home in the early stages of COVID lockdown. She is knowledgeable about the community because she lives in the community. She staged our home beautifully. She was honest and guiding about simple cosmetic changes that would make a difference in our curb appeal. Rebecca was in contact about showings and interested parties, and made me feel that I was making the best decisions for the progress of the sale. I have recommended Rebecca and will continue to recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling in the Vienna/Oakton/Fairfax County, VA area.” Read More ▾

“They are the best. We have sold 7 homes and Andrea and her team are by far the gold standard. They developed a plan to meet our needs, maximize value, and guided us through the process. They were responsive, monitored the market and adjusted as conditions changed, maintained a comprehensive analysis, and helped us through the hiccups. The skills their team brings are extraordinary and it made a smooth process. It is an exceptional team that produces fantastic results.” 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 ▾

“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 ▾
