“Andrea helped us find and buy our first home. She was great to work with!”
Testimonials
“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“What an amazing experience with Rebecca Rushforth and the whole team at Maple Avenue Living in selling our home in Northern Virginia this Fall, 2024. We were looking to more quickly on the sale of our home and Rebecca and the team were incredibly fast, energetic, responsive, understanding, and in every way in sync with what we wanted to accomplish … every step of the way. Rebecca presented an extraordinarily detailed and comprehensive plan for marketing and selling the home -- and followed through on each and every detail with the utmost care, including in the negotiations with the buyer to get to yes. So many things truly stand out that it is difficult to highlight all of them. But in particular, the plan for presentation of the home, including staging an empty home, was thorough, well thought out, and implemented to a T; numerous hours were spent in preparing the house and then holding open houses to showcase it; negotiations with the buyer's agent were handled professionally and with great skill. And the communication was flawless -- we were informed about everything and our input was solicited and implemented immediately at all stages of the process. I suppose if you look hard enough you may find another agent that is as skilled, professional, and knowledgeable as Rebecca and her team. But I can assure you will not find someone as trustworthy, as diligent, as good a listener, as good a communicator, and as extraordinarily friendly and kind as Rebecca. Do yourself a favor and engage her and the team in the sale or purchase of your next home -- it will be the best decision you ever make.” 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 ▾

“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 ▾
