As one of the largest residential home builders in the United States, the work you will be performing with KB Home will be in the new home market. If you are being considered for a licensed sales counselor position with the company, you likely have experience in real estate and are licensed in the state you are interviewing to work in. Your interviewer will be dialing in on your experience in working with the sales of new homes and that you are cognizant of the differences you will be greeted with coming to work for a new home builder. Openly discuss any experience you have in new home sales and make sure to discuss your willingness to learn the ins and outs of KB Home sales counseling.

"I have very little experience in new home sales as an experienced realtor of five years in California. All of my current work has been mostly with resale homes, but I have supported clients in the purchase of new homes listed by contractors. I'm very excited to come to KB Home and be a part of the entire customer journey, from the location stage of deciding where they want to live through the design, construction, and move-in phases. I never got to be part of those initial stages of the home buying process and it would be very exciting to help your customers live their dreams of building their new dream home."
