“We had a wonderful experience with our realtor, Rebecca Rushforth, and the whole Maple Ave. Living team. Rebecca made our home buying experience enjoyable, and it was evident how hard she was working for us during a time when the market was “crazy!” Rebecca was extremely responsive, always accommodated our schedules, and answered our many questions at all hours. On … the very rare occasion Rebecca was unavailable, another member of the Maple Ave. team would immediately step-in to assist us or take us to a showing. Rebecca was able to find us our dream home, which we got for list price and with contingencies – something nearly unheard of in the current market. In addition to providing excellent, professional service, the Maple Ave. team also treated us as friends. They truly go out of their way to show appreciation to their clients (they also value the communities in which they work which and support other local businesses – amazing!). I would recommend Rebecca or anyone on the Maple Ave. team to everyone I know. We had the most wonderful home buying experience, and if we weren’t already living in our dream house, we would choose them again!” 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 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 ▾

“We worked with Rebecca to purchase our new home. She went above and beyond for us! She ensured that our inspection went smoothly and worked with the previous owner on our behalf. The pandemic hit and she didn't miss a beat. She ensured that walk through and closing were completed safely and quickly. Rebecca delivered boxes, meals, and so much … kindness through this entire process. She is trustworthy and works tirelessly for her clients. She also has great contacts for contractors and handyman. We are so happy in our new home! I can't say enough great things about our experience working with Rebecca.” Read More ▾

“Eva and the Maple Ave Living team worked their magic to help us buy our forever home and sell our townhouse, closing both transactions in less five months! Nothing short of amazing! Eva, our agent, was right there with us from start to finish and understood the complexities of buying a home, moving and selling a home all at the same … time! Eva is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced agent. She showed us many homes over many months and when we found “the one”, she helped us craft an exceptional offer. The sellers accepted it right away and we started our remarkable journey! Her network of financial and legal professionals helped us close the deal with confidence! As we transitioned to our new home, she and her team brilliantly and personally staged our townhouse, coordinated improvements to make it really pop and smartly set an attractive sales price. All their hard work resulted in three offers within three days of hitting the market in early December! Eva’s market expertise shone through as she adeptly negotiated a contingency free contract for $26K over list and a 10-day close to sell our townhouse before the end of the year! A miracle indeed! Eva and her Maple Ave Living team are truly the best in the business!” 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 ▾

“’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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“Selecting a realtor for a house sale is one of the most important decisions anyone can make. But, fortunately, it’s also really simple: hire Andrea Woodhouse and Maple Avenue Living. We interviewed five different realtors and each brought their own spin and approach to the process. From the start, Andrea was open, detailed, enthusiastic, friendly, and insightful, and she and … the team exhibited those qualities throughout the whole endeavor. They designed an approach that maximized the value we could get out of the transaction. This included staging, videography, photography, open houses, and marketing that ensured our somewhat-unique property was visible to the right kinds of buyers. Her team was also excellent in helping get our house ready for market. Andrea skillfully mentored us on the nuances of our transaction and the complex logistics that met our family’s needs and financial goals. Was it a zero-stress situation? Of course not — real estate never is! But we are so thankful that we chose Andrea as our partner as she kept the process on track while keeping stress levels low. She was extremely proactive, going so far as supporting the buying agent in their work to ensure a smooth transaction. We closed on time with zero hiccups. Andrea’s collaborative approach, knowledge of the area, empathy with family needs, and sheer hard work were evident from the moment we met her. We look forward to being a reference for her and the entire Maples Avenue Living team for many years to come.” Read More ▾

“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 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 ▾
