"Isabelle is a rare treasure and a bright addition to our team," said Chase. "She comes from a background that is rich in education and related career experience, and she has lived and worked all over the world."
Armed with bachelor's and master's degrees in international business and a marketing research certificate, Megard enjoyed a 15-year career in international sales and marketing for a variety of small to large multi-national businesses.

She speaks not only French and English, but also German, Italian and "some" Spanish.
Megard's personal experiences with international relocation, buying and selling homes, equipped her with skills and knowledge that translate into "an unequaled education that more than prepares an agent to assist others in the moving process," she said. She has accumulated a checklist that is "beyond the basic schools and churches information" that she can navigate with ease for her clients.
Prior to the career change to real estate sales, the international businesswoman acquired negotiation skills, key modern marketing and promotional knowledge from her work as a BASF Marketing Manager, as an Account Director at Medimix, and as owner of her own company, ELV Decor. Megard created the home decor, gift and accessories business specifically to benefit non-profit organizations, and as a result became a home staging expert, "an extremely valuable talent to offer clients in today's real estate market," Chase said.
