    "My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Hougaard to sell our home in Fair Oaks Estates. Our experience with Stephanie was stellar from start to finish and was an absolute dream come true! We have never met another realtor who has more local knowledge and process expertise than Stephanie, or who is a more personable, warm and caring person then she is. She was highly responsive to any questions that we had during the process and she also provided us with regular updates. Stephanie has so many strengths (we could go on for days describing them!) and among them is her attention to detail. When we saw the listing package that she created for our home we were totally blown away- the staging that Stephanie did at our house, combined with professional and stunning photos, were more than we could have ever imagined possible. Our house looked so great that we almost didn't want to sell it, that says a lot! Thanks to Stephanie, our house had multiple offers and went under contract quickly, and for well over the asking price. Stephanie truly cared about us throughout the process and went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of and we are proud now to call her a dear friend."

    "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!"

    "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."

    "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!"

    "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 it, list it, and then work 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 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."
