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

We have a fantastic team environment and culture. I feel that my teammates are like a second family, willing to support me and assist me through the good and tough times. I am pushed to get better every single day and have the resources in place to do so. It is an incredible opportunity to become an excellent new home sales professional and to grow into leadership and management roles.

Cons

This is a very rewarding career that takes a ton of hard work. Your role is not merely selling homes, but you are given a lot of responsibility to manage a community, which requires sometimes working your days off and being available before and after model home hours. That being said, management does recognize hard work and cares about your well-being.

One of my favorite things about New Home Star is the close knit family feeling you get with your local team, but then also knowing you have the backing and support from 400+ other team members across the entire country to help you succeed as well. Keep up the great work!
