Job description

Do you love interior design, working with people, and helping turn ideas into beautiful spaces?

Habegger Furniture is looking for a Furniture Sales / Interior Design Consultant to join our team.

This isn't a traditional retail sales position. Our clients come to us looking for guidance — choosing the right furniture, finding the perfect fabric or finish, planning a room, and bringing an entire space together.

We're looking for someone who enjoys listening, problem-solving, designing, and building relationships while also being motivated to turn those relationships into sales.

What You'll Do

• Work one-on-one with clients to understand their style, needs, space, and lifestyle
• Help clients select furniture, fabrics, finishes, and other design elements
• Recommend room layouts and creative solutions for clients' homes
• Guide customers through our extensive selection of furniture and customization options
• Build relationships with clients from their first showroom visit through the completed project
• Follow up on quotes, projects, and sales opportunities
• Develop strong product knowledge through ongoing training
• Create accurate quotes and orders using our sales systems
• Collaborate with our design, office, service, and delivery teams
• Help maintain an organized, inspiring showroom

Who We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Genuinely enjoy working with people
• Have an eye for design, color, scale, and proportion
• Are a good listener and naturally ask questions
• Are comfortable selling and asking for the business
• Are self-motivated and willing to follow up rather than waiting for the customer to call
• Are organized and detail-oriented
• Enjoy learning and becoming knowledgeable about products
• Can work independently while also being a strong teammate
• Take pride in providing a polished, professional customer experience

Furniture or interior design experience is helpful, but the right personality, work ethic, and willingness to learn are just as important.

About Habegger Furniture

Habegger Furniture has been helping families furnish their homes since 1935. As a fourth-generation family-owned business, we've built our reputation around quality furniture, thoughtful design, personal service, and long-term relationships with our clients.

Our showrooms feature a wide range of respected furniture manufacturers, extensive custom-order options, and experienced design professionals who help clients create spaces that truly fit their homes.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This is a role for someone who wants more than a traditional retail job.

You'll have the opportunity to develop your design knowledge, build your own client relationships, work with quality home furnishings, and directly benefit from the business you create.

If you're creative, personable, motivated, and love the idea of helping people create homes they love, we'd like to meet you.
