MeganCallahan’s entrepreneurial journey started when she and her oil worker husband moved back home to Newfoundland from Texas. Megan a former business analyst at PAL Aerospace with a background in accounting was getting ready to sell their house in Houston, Texas. “I thought our house looked perfect. But our amazing realtor Robyn Jones told us we needed to stage the home and that is when I learned what staging was,” she said. Anyone that has ever had to relocate for their job or business or sell a home for any reason knows the amount of effort that goes into the process. You need to find a real estate agent to sell your home and maybe another one to find you a home where you are moving or relocating to. Then you must try and keep your home clean while showings take place while trying to pack and get ready to move at the same time or in some cases you may have to move before the house even sells. Megan understands the difficulties of moving, and the various benefits home staging can have on clients in the world of buying and selling.
