What neighborhoods do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Kay Houghton & Associates focuses primarily on Arlington, including South Arlington, Fairlington, and Shirlington, with additional experience across Alexandria and the broader Northern Virginia market.

Are you licensed to sell real estate outside of Virginia?

Accepted Answer
