I'm selling a townhouse in Fairlington and need help with staging and repairs — who should I call?

Kay Houghton & Associates handles staging and pre-listing repairs as part of the selling process for Fairlington and Arlington-area homes. The team coordinates the vendors, manages scheduling, and oversees repairs so sellers don't have to find contractors themselves — this is standard on every listing, not an add-on service.

What neighborhoods do you specialize in?

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

Do you help with rentals or apartment searches, not just home sales?

Yes. In addition to buying and selling, the team assists with rentals and apartment searches in Arlington and Fairlington, including for clients relocating from out of the area.

Are you licensed to sell real estate outside of Virginia?

Yes. Kay Houghton is licensed in Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland, and is affiliated with eXp Realty.
