Megan’s approach is simple, “We catch the home-owners’ vibes, and if they’re willing, we roll up our sleeves and get to work. If not, we go for a measured approach. There’s a way to make staging work for everyone.” Megan and her Trim Design Team are an exten- sion of the real estate agents they strategize with, and they try to make everything work in tandem. They work as a team to get each home sold for the homeowner. “The realtors I work with are nothing short of amazing. They have a certain entrepreneurial spark about them that continuously inspires me to grow and succeed as a business owner. My realtor clients are driven, they care deeply about their clients (home- owners), and they don’t need sleep. A winning combination of traits!” Megan goes on to say, “Teamwork is an integral part of this business, from Trim Design to the real estate agent to the home-owner. We make sure we’re on the same page as the agents, and we all have the goal to get the house sold.”
“This is a business, and if people aren’t happy, word will get around. I want people to be happy with their end result with Trim Design.”
the homeowner doesn’t initially see the benefit of the changes and feels the house is perfect the way it is. Oftentimes, homeowners don’t have the time to put in or the space to store excess items. With the right realtor-stager team effort, and a lot of TLC, we’ll always get the picture-perfect real estate listing and then the sold sign! Those projects are close to my heart and I burst with pride when it all works out. No greater sign of success than when a homeowner can move on to the next chapter of their life. So as you can see whether it’s washing floors, dealing with clients, or doing walk-throughs, Megan and her team are ready, willing and able to help you every step of the way. In this businesses and industry reputation is everything, to the point that Megan often gets asked about her formal training. She has none, but her business and reviews from clients allow her to draw on word-of-mouth. Megan spends much of her free time studying industry trends and design style. She works hard to stay on top of leading trends and styles. The future of her business depends on strong recommendations and her solid reputation of getting the job done. Megan is quick to say, “This is a business, and if people aren’t happy, word will get around. I want people to be happy with their end result with Trim Design.” Let’s just say that Megan and the team at Trim Design have been very busy, especially in the market conditions that we saw in 2020 and that carried over to 2021. Thankfully, she still has enough time to share advice and tips of the trade each month with her monthly column “Design of the Times” here in Spotlight on Business Magazine.
For Megan and her team, this is not just a job it is personal. Megan treats each customer like she did her friends and family when she first got into the business and puts all of her focus into helping you sell your home or transfer a house into your ‘forever home.’ “I’m excited if a house that’s been on the market for a long time sells quickly after our work. We hope our work helps get the job done,” said Megan. Megan tells Spotlight that her favorite projects are the tough ones! “From time to time, we’ll have a homeowner who needs the extra push to get through the staging list for their occupied home. Those ones take a lot of realtor-stag- er team effort. The home usually has amazing potential, but there is a large to-do list in order to get it to reach that potential.
