“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 is professional, diplomatic, creative, connected, and communicative. In our case, perhaps the most important attribute has been her resourcefulness. Our finished basement needed a few tweaks to be market-ready. She “had a guy.” Through her connections with a handyman, who was also very connected to subcontractors, we were able to address these items in a matter of days. And … she made contact with her handyman. She did not expect us to contact him and make arrangements. When one of the subcontractors was late to our job, she got in touch with the handyman to find out why there was a delay. The contractor was at our property within 30 minutes. Given the struggles average homeowners are having these days with finding good home repair workers, then getting them to actually do the work in a timely fashion, it was a relief to have had Stephanie managing this process for us. She also had connections to buyers who were interested in our neighborhood. She gave us the option of offering our home to four prospects as a “preview marketing” opportunity. Even though we weren’t on the “open market,” we still got multiple contracts and over asking price for our home. We can’t think of a single negative to share about Stephanie and highly recommend her services. It’s a shame these reviews are limited to 5-stars because we would rate our experience a 5-plus.” 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 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 ▾

“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 ▾

“2020 was a tough year, and our family decided to purchase our first home. Andrea was remarkably helpful buying the house. She worked well beyond what one could expect, staying in touch constantly start from the house hunting stage and even after we moved in! I highly recommend her. If anyone needs a careful, loving, honest agent, Andrea will be … our top 1 recommendation as a professional agent. If we buy another house in VA area in the near future, Andrea will still be our agent for sure!” Read More ▾

“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 ▾

“When we sold our condo, Rebecca was awesome! I had the sense that she was working for us 24 hours every day. There were some hiccups in the process, but Rebecca handled them so calmly and professionally, at the same time reassuring us that everything would work out and be fine. In addition, she gave great instructions on how to … make our place look its best and then staged it herself! Rebecca was wonderful to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and the team she works with!” 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 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 ▾

“Rebecca and her team helped us sold our three condos. She has been really helpful with staging the house and communicating between us and the buyers. She is really professional and helped us sold our condos over the asking price and under the contract within a weekend. We have 4 young kids that really helped us decreased the stress during … that time. She is the best. You won’t regret to talk to her if you need to sell or buy a house.” Read More ▾
