Pros

Company does provide sales training although it is a collaboration of typical popular sales books. New Real Estate Agents will learn through the training, but any good Real Estate Firm will offer the same training.

Cons

Terrible Management. Broken promises of position advancement. Training is a manual roll playing. The training is very old school "sells-sells-sells" approach. The company philosophy is similar to a used car sells approach. This is by far the worst company I have every worked for in my career. If you want to be a Real Estate Agent, work for a well known firm- do not waste your time

New Home Star Response
10y
I'm sorry to hear that your experience with New Home Star was not a positive one. We make a conscientious effort to develop a customized training approach that develops sales associates of all experience levels. In reference to your comment regarding our company philosophy being similar to that of a used car sales approach, we feel that our approach to training is more sophisticated and dynamic than what you might find in the auto sales industry. However, it sounds as though you did not experience this. Our people are our number one priority and we take their careers very seriously. Since we started in business in 2008, we have seen many sales associates progress through our career advancement process to become successful managers and directors in our company. Growing our leaders organically is a major emphasis at New Home Star. We wish you well in your future pursuits.

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.
