Pros

Training for NHS was very thorough but it was done all on my own without any help or over sight from my director. The videos and the training manual that go with it are good.

Cons

They gave me the run around for months. After training they didn’t have a neighborhood for me to be placed into. They got fired from the builder that the contract was with. Overall so unorganized and the director who’s in charge is not fit to be in that role.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your time with New Home Star. It is our number one core value of the company to provide excellent careers for our people, which includes the world class training you mentioned as well as giving you an opportunity to pursue excellence post training. In the real estate market, specifically new home construction, there are a lot of moving parts and there are instances where timing doesn't always work out 100% perfectly with new communities or land becoming available. However, we always do our best to ensure every member of our sales team is engaged and can eventually get placed into a community to realize their excellent career with New Home Star.

Pros

Company culture is everything at NHS, which remains my biggest highlight. I’ve genuinely felt valued here from the start. It doesn’t feel like you’re just another number; there’s a real effort to recognize people and make them feel seen. Teams are supportive, and people actually want their peers to succeed. It’s an environment where you can grow while also feeling appreciated for your contributions.

Cons

Like any growing organization, there are occasional growing pains as the company continues to evolve. Processes and priorities can shift, but that’s also part of what comes with progress and expansion.

Pros

New Home Star is one of those companies that really lives its values. The culture is supportive, driven, and genuinely focused on helping people grow. It’s fast-paced, and expectations are high—but that’s part of what makes it a great place to work if you like being challenged and learning constantly. What stands out most is how forward-thinking the company is. From technology to training to how teams collaborate, New Home Star is consistently ahead of the curve in the homebuilding space. They’re not stuck doing things “the old way,” and they actually invest in tools and systems that make people better at their jobs. It’s not perfect—no company is—but leadership listens, good work is recognized, and there’s a real sense of momentum. If you’re motivated, adaptable, and want to be part of something that’s growing and evolving, New Home Star is a great place to be.

Cons

The pace and expectations can be demanding at times, especially during busy seasons or major initiatives. Things move quickly, priorities can shift, and there’s a constant push to improve and adapt. While that creates a lot of opportunity, it can also feel intense if you prefer a slower, more predictable environment.
