“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 ▾

“I honestly cannot say enough about Rebecca Rushforth. We met at an open house and she really made me feel comfortable right away. I was in the market for my first home but really did not know where to start. She made me feel comfortable right away. Rebecca was there for the entire process. She asked important questions and found … a home for me and my daughters that was perfect- and premarket!! No bidding wars, just an easy transition. She knows so many people-including a handyman/painter! When you have so little time for trying to find the perfect home-Rebecca is the go to person! She is so caring and still keeps up with me and my daughters. 5 stars seems so little when compared to her hard work-I would give Rebecca and the entire Maple Ave Living group a 10!!!” 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 ▾

“We had the pleasure of working both with Stephanie and Rebecca in the sale of our townhome and purchase of our new home in Fairfax. Stephanie made the process of getting our current house staged, ready for market and sold incredibly easy. The staging she did was a major reason our home sold not only quickly, but well above asking … price. I know that selling a home can be stressful, but Stephanie took care of so many details that we honestly felt guilty we weren't so stressed! When we hit roadblocks, she was there with plan B. Rebecca's advice and experience were much appreciated in the process of making an offer on our new home, especially in this competitive market! Stephanie and Rebecca were always a phone call, text or email away to answer questions. They were both incredibly knowledgable, resourceful, professional, and most importantly, caring. Our family was in the best hands for this major life decision! We cannot recommend Maple Ave Living highly enough!” Read More ▾

“Andrea didn't let one detail slip from start to finish, we've never had such a smooth real-estate experience. She is personable and easy to work with, and has great people skills. She was creative in her approach to marketing our home at a slow time of year, and open to doing anything we wanted to help sell our home She … was always prompt and proactive in each stage of the process, from getting our home ready to list through to closing of the sale of our home. We wish we could bottle her up and have her do every real estate transaction for us from here on out. Couldn't have been a better experience.” 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 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 ▾

“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 ▾

“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 ▾

“2024 was a big year for our family as we sold our home of 32 years to move and build a new home. Stephanie Hougaard of Maple Avenue Living made what felt like would be a daunting task so incredibly doable. Stephanie’s foresight and understanding of the market in our neighborhood allowed us to put our home up for sale … at just the right time. That combined with her network to get the word out about our home put us in the position to get exactly the price and terms we wanted in just a few days. Stephanie and her colleagues are hands on people- offering great advise on what we could do to be successful for pre-sale and post sale with offering to help with anything from de-cluttering to getting movers. We felt so fortunate that we had Stephanie Hougaard and the team at Maple Living to advise and guide us through the sale of our home!” Read More ▾

“Andrea and the team at Maple Ave Living 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 ▾
