Why Colorado Agents Are Earning Their New Home Specialist (NHS) Designation
Are you ready to take your real estate career to the next level? The Builder Realty Council of Denver is proud to introduce the New Home Specialist (NHS) Program—an exclusive opportunity designed to help Colorado real estate professionals master the art of selling new construction homes. This one-of-a-kind designation gives you in-depth training, hands-on experience, and credibility that sets you apart in a competitive market.
With no time limit to complete the program, you can work at your own pace and on your own schedule. Core courses are offered each spring and fall, ensuring multiple opportunities to participate. Once enrolled, you’ll gain access to expert-led courses, on-site workshops, and electives tailored to enhance your knowledge of the new home industry.
Why Enroll in the New Home Specialist Program?
Selling new construction homes is not the same as selling existing properties. Builders, materials, design trends, financing options, and warranties all create a unique set of opportunities and challenges. The NHS Program equips you with the tools to guide your clients through the process with confidence.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Seasoned Instructors: Learn from respected professionals in the homebuilding and real estate industries.
- Earn CE Credits: Many of the classes count toward your continuing education requirements.
- Exclusive Designation: Graduate with the New Home Specialist (NHS) title to showcase your expertise.
- Hands-On Training: Workshops at new home communities give you practical, real-world insights.
- Flexible Learning: No expiration date on your progress—you can complete the program as your schedule allows.
You’ll leave the program with an advanced understanding of construction, energy efficiency, green building, financing, marketing, and more.
