New Home Star has very intelligent, visionary upper management that provides world-class sales training. Company culture is excellent. However, with rapid growth and a variety of builders, there are many different experiences to be had across the country working for New Home Star. Some divisions, run by strong directors and managers are excellent, top-notch places to work, while other divisions (ie: Tampa North, Maronda Homes) are highly lacking leadership, and very poorly managed by insecure, incompetent leaders. Consider the division for which you're applying before pursuing employment with New Home Star.
Great company. Training is stellar. Your success will depend greatly on your director and your builder; which unfortunately, were both less than favorable for my particular situation. Love the business model and company culture. Excellent CEO.
Unproductive They advertise and tell you about training and the person supposed to be training you is still trying to do a full time position and you are kind of left hanging and just watching a lot.
although my time there was short, I HIGHLY recommend!!
you will need to get your own benefits, at the time there were some growing pains in Houston but I am sure it is MUCH more organized now.
This company has a contract with developers for 5 percent but only pays the sells team 1 percent or less.
They are robbing developers and using people.
Hires only young people that do not need benefits.
This is a great place to work, with a great team and lots of support. Great pay when you are selling, and there to cushion you (for a few months time) if you struggle. Fantastic mission and vision. Unbelievable training - I wish I had known this stuff at every sales job I worked before this. I would've been that much better. Amazing employee portal for learning and interacting with cohorts around the nation.
Disappointing! The concept on paper is AMAZING yet the execution on follow through will leave you looking for other opportunities. After moving on I can finally exhale and am ready to shed some light on my personal experience. The managers either over manage or under manage. Future potential is very likely. Possibly just growing pains. If you flourish in an environment that is organized and has consistent systems in place this may not be the best fit for you at this time. Certainly not a horrible company to work for but it definitely has some challenges so if you have the patience to deal with inconsistencies it could be worth it in the big picture.I clearly lacked patience as time equates to money. This company has all the best intentions yet still falls short.
On-line training resources are next level. Sales kick off trip in Cancun.
No benefits, micro-managers, unorganized which creates a frustrating environment, pay is below the industry standards.
Rewarding, fast paced, family environment with GREAT people!
I have been with New Home Star for 3 years now and I have no intention of leaving this great company. They treat you like you are a part of the family. It is a very humble and generous company with unlimited possibilities for growth and advancement.
A very cheap sales like atmosphere. Management is unprofessional, very clique-ish, they create a "cut throat" sales environment. You work like an employee but get paid as an independent contractor. No benefits, No paid time off, No 401k.
Constantly will tell you one thing then do another. Poor management, no communication. Overall Not a good company, you will feel like a number to them. The miraculous training is not all that great, basically they are just trying to reinvent the wheel. Those other 4+ reviews are probably from their staff. Just beware before you waste your time, & energy into a company that isn't what it appears to be.
Great training, its unmatched and there is nothing like it. Downfall is the pay right now and direct management. No one is a fan of drama, having to watch your back every second of the day afraid someone is about to stab you. As a team we should build each other up not try to tear one another down so they fall.
I truly got lucky finding this company!
This company is hands down the best company I have EVER had the PRIVLEDGE of working for. Everyone truly cares about you, and cares about your growth.
Best Culture in New Home Sales!
If you are looking to join this organization I would highly recommend you seek out and talk to some of the people that are no longer there to get a honest evaluation of the local management and builder in your area. Plan on being treated like an employee but paid as an independent contractor (no taxes taken out, no benefits, no vacation pay, no 401k). If you become a successful sales person with the company your reward is to have another agent put into your community and your sales volume gets cut in half because you now have to "share".
Also- the builder partner and company are notorious for moving people around without notice- sometimes requiring people to drive to communities that are over an hour away without asking if this would cause undue hardship. And remember, because you are an independent contractor they won't pay for your fuel or mileage.
The "training" is nothing revolutionary! They have taken sales training bits and pieces from here and there and put it together in a neat little book and called it their own.
Just do some research and talk to people before you "drink the kool-aid". Any full 5 star review you read will have been completed by people at the corporate office or by people that have been asked to write a good review on behalf of the company.
Joining NHS has been the best decision of my life. Ironically, I didn't know just how great a company it was until after I joined up. The first thing the blew me away was how down to earth the management was--no airs of superiority, just good people who truly want to help others. As I began my training, I realized our shared values for a love a learning--and all types of learning. Individual growth through hard work is highly rewarded.
the training for selling homes in real estate is amazing with great leaders for a team. I would highly recommend it to others who are looking to be an agent.

I started working as an intern for New Home Star as a junior in college and I am currently still working for the company heading into my last few months in college. I have to say that the experience I have had so far has been excellent! I started off as a marketing intern, developing marketing strategies to improve traffic to the company and assisting with in house projects for our sales teams. Each project involved creative thinking and collaboration to provide the best solution as possible. I have helped with many different forms of marketing, even becoming involved as a project manager for one marketing project. I have learned so much from this company and have enjoyed every minute of it. The culture that was created is tremendous and makes me want to come to work everyday. It is a great environment that allows people to work efficiently while having fun at the same time. For the past year I have worked hard and have been rewarded with good support and an opportunity to move up with the company. Now that I am almost graduated from college, I have been given the opportunity to accept a full time job with New Home Star. What started out as an internship in college, turned out to be a great fit with a full time job! This company has taught me how to be effective in the New Home Building industry while balancing different projects and school. I am very pleased with the opportunities that New Home Star has given me and I am excited to be working with the company in the future!
While there I learned how to cold call, "buy a car", research the housing market, come up with marketing ideas, use Excel and Google Drive, and use social media as a marketing tool.
