“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 ▾
Testimonials
“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 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 ▾

“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 had an incredible experience with Rebecca Rushforth and Maple Ave Living. Nobody knows the Vienna area and market better than Rebecca. She listened to our needs, found our dream house in the perfect Vienna neighborhood, and arranged for us to see it before the house even went on the market! Without Rebecca's guidance and knowledge of the community, we … never would have found this dream home for our family. (In addition to being a phenomenal realtor, Rebecca is a genuinely kind and amazing person, which means that she's beloved in the community and routinely knows of opportunities before they ever hit the open market.) Rebecca also did a fantastic job selling our previous home--she staged it beautifully, and it sold well above our asking price (setting a new record in the neighborhood). She was also incredibly patient in walking us through the closing process for both homes. Selling or buying a home is a daunting task, especially in today's market. But with Rebecca, the entire process was seamless--a testament to her tireless work and attention to detail. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Northern Virginia area, she is simply the best.” 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 ▾

“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 ▾

“I highly recommend Rebecca Rushforth to anyone buying or selling a home in the Vienna/Oakton/Fairfax County, VA area. She helped us to sell our home in the early stages of COVID lockdown, and it went better than could have been expected! She kept us apprised of all showings and interest, and advised us well about cosmetic changes. She had handymen … at the ready to get our house ready for sale. Her staging was fabulous! I completely trusted her advice and judgement throughout the entire process. Thank you, Rebecca, for selling our house!” 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 ▾
