“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“Andrea and Rebecca did a fabulous job helping me sell my home, from staging to understanding the process as well as the local market. Both worked very hard and were incredibly responsive to my questions. Highly recommend!”

“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 ▾

“I can't say enough good things about Rebecca and team...they were outstanding!! The N Virginia market is fast paced, expensive, and overwhelming. Although it took us a long time to make decisions, we never felt any pressure from Rebecca to speed our process beyond our own pace. Rebecca took the time to get to know us and is well networked and connected to the market -- she and her team actually found the right home in our price range before it listed. Her work and expertise navigated a challenging process and brought tangible value to both the buy and sell side. She was always responsive and timely with all of my questions and seemed two steps ahead of the process throughout. I honestly can't imagine a better experience and would recommend Rebecca and team to anyone looking to buy, sell, or both.” 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 ▾

“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 ▾

She took the time to help us in any way she could.” 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 ▾
