“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 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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“’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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾
