The Newcastle Design Company
Job Posting: E-Commerce Content Intern
ABOUT THE NEWCASTLE DESIGN COMPANY
We are a real estate staging and interior design firm located in Henrico, Virginia. We serve the greater Richmond area with residential staging and design services. The bulk of our work is real estate staging (and what this particular job positing is related to).
At Newcastle Design, we are committed to excellence in our work to make real estate listings feel the opposite of “staged”… to feel purposefully designed for how someone could really live in - and love - a home. We bring our interior design experience and perspective to highlight homes’ best features with pieces that reflect today’s design aesthetic. We offer full and partial home staging as well as staging consultations - for both vacant and owner-occupied homes.
We are expanding our services to include rental of staging furniture and accessories to realtors and other staging firms for their use to stage properties on their own. This job posting is related to the creation of those services.
