My experience comes from making logos for a short period of time and a little graphic design.
It's a good concept, but it does not stand out among the crowd. Everyone has a house when they have a logo with a home.
The gradients won't work everywhere either, they're great on a computer screen, but printed out, or taken to a smaller size they start to loose the overall appeal and look of it.
he colors look good, but as a previous commented said, this logo would look better to remove the background and remove the underline to allow the letters to float in the space.
If it's possible, i would add a bit more design to this logo, incorporate some of the aspects of a house if possible, like a door or windows where a letter is, or where the stars are. Make it stand out among the competition.
Lastly, i don't know if you have a better vector image or not, but looking at the lettering here, it will not scale up to signs very easily or clean. So keep that in mind.
Good start to your design though! At least you have an image to go with for now and can make improvements too!
