Working with New Home Star may not be ideal for those who: prefer a slower-paced, less performance-driven environment; want less frequent training or self-development requirements; are uncomfortable with digital platforms and evolving procedures; prefer a larger, more established, or less dynamic company structure; and need a consistent, fixed salary over variable commission-based income.
New Home Star, like any organization, has certain weaknesses or challenges that may affect both employees and builder partners. Some include: ongoing process changes/growing pains as systems/improvements are implemented; different practices/experiences depending on division or manager; strong emphasis on continuous development, sales goals, and training; income tied to sales performance, creating unpredictable earnings for some roles; requires good digital skills and adaptability to new tools and processes; and some may feel overwhelmed by ongoing learning and development expectations.
Home builders might pay New Home Star a percentage of each home sold (commission-based) or a flat fee per home, depending on their specific agreement. The industry standard for outsourced new home sales and marketing services is typically 1% to 3% of the sales price per transaction. However, actual terms are negotiated between the builder and New Home Star.
Most builder partners see the cost of New Home Star’s service returned several times over through higher sales, reduced discounting, and more efficient operations.
New Home Star’s solution is a comprehensive sales and marketing system designed specifically for new home builders. It combines people, technology, training, and support to maximize new home sales and profitability.
