“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 ▾
Testimonials
“Stephanie was our Realtor for both buying a new house and selling our old one. Her and her team did an amazing job always making us feel like a priority. She showed us a lot of houses over the course of a year and was great at coming up with different strategies for offers. We finally found the perfect house for … our family thanks to her and her team. Stephanie was able to provide really great advice in a highly contested market and we couldn’t be happier with our new home. We also sold our old house for way over asking thanks to her tips pricing, improvements, and staging. Her and her team made our house look 100x better their due to their amazing staging which ultimately made it sell for over asking and a lot quicker than it would have. The last point i wanted to make was how great Stephanie treated us throughout the process. I never have worked with someone who came across as so genuine. It was easy to tell how much she cared about us and how much effort she put into making sure everything went right. We would consider Stephanie more than our Realtor at this point, but instead a friend. We are forever grateful and fortunate for her and her team!” Read More ▾

“Stephanie is professional, diplomatic, creative, connected, and communicative. In our case, perhaps the most important attribute has been her resourcefulness. Our finished basement needed a few tweaks to be market-ready. She “had a guy.” Through her connections with a handyman, who was also very connected to subcontractors, we were able to address these items in a matter of days. And … she made contact with her handyman. She did not expect us to contact him and make arrangements. When one of the subcontractors was late to our job, she got in touch with the handyman to find out why there was a delay. The contractor was at our property within 30 minutes. Given the struggles average homeowners are having these days with finding good home repair workers, then getting them to actually do the work in a timely fashion, it was a relief to have had Stephanie managing this process for us. She also had connections to buyers who were interested in our neighborhood. She gave us the option of offering our home to four prospects as a “preview marketing” opportunity. Even though we weren’t on the “open market,” we still got multiple contracts and over asking price for our home. We can’t think of a single negative to share about Stephanie and highly recommend her services. It’s a shame these reviews are limited to 5-stars because we would rate our experience a 5-plus.” 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 ▾

“We could not have asked for a better person to handle the sale of our home. Andrea provided great advice that resulted in getting multiple offers on our home in the first couple of days on the market. Andrea was there with us through every step of the process from telling us the things we needed to do to prepare … our house to go the market to evaluating the offers and closing on our home. She is the best realtor we have ever worked with. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.” Read More ▾

“Our experience with Stephanie Hougaard and Maple Ave. Living could not have been better. Thanks to the time and effort from Stephanie and the rest of the team, we received multiple excellent over-ask offers on our home. We have sold multiple homes in the past and have never seen someone work as hard as Stephanie did for us to get … the best offers. Maple Ave. Living truly is different than other real estate firms from their knowledge of current market conditions, to the care they take making homes look the absolute best they can for sale. I know they work just as hard for their buy side clients. Stephanie, Andrea and Rebecca care deeply about each client and their specific needs and wants, whether on the buy or sell side. We cannot recommend them highly enough, wish we could give more than 5 stars! Thank you so much to Stephanie Hougaard and Maple Ave Living!” Read More ▾

“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 ▾

“’m grateful we chose Stephanie Hougaard as the realtor to help my son’s family. Stephanie was tireless in helping them tour properties and crafting offers for homes in very competitive neighborhoods. She always had a very good instinct for what a home would sell for. My son’s family is very happily settled in a wonderful home that checked all the … boxes and then some. Stephanie’s services on the sell side were fantastic. She identified what should be done to prepare their townhome for sale, knew the people to hire to get the work done quickly, and her team beautifully staged the empty property with furniture. Their townhome sold within hours, well over asking, all cash offer with no contingencies. Couldn’t be happier! I’ve dealt with many different realtors in over 40 years of real estate investments - Stephanie is the best!” 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 ▾

“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 ▾

“Andrea is a top-notch agent with amazing customer service. She goes above and beyond to meet the customers needs, and made our home sale such an easy process. She evaluated our home, made some suggestions to help it show better, and had plenty of extra mirrors, pictures, pillows, chairs, etc. to help stage our home perfectly. She knows the market … well, set a great price point for our sale, and helped us sell our home the first weekend we listed it. We had multiple offers, and she helped us evaluate them, understand the different terms, and select the one that was the best for us. She stuck with us through the move-out process, and even had someone we could call at the last-minute the day of our move to collect the extra garbage we decided at the last-minute not to move. She held our hands through the entire process and made it as smooth as possible. I have never had a better customer service experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Andrea and her team. Thank you!!” 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 ▾
