The reason for GHO Homes’ success since 1983 is anchored in its desire to focus on semi-customizations in creating homes the suit the buyer’s needs. The commitment from their entire team to achieve a one-of-a-kind home is what keeps this core value in place. With GHO Homes exclusive Tailor Made program allows buyers to customize a home to fit their style, whether it be adding an additional bedroom, club room or adding a bath, the team will work to make the buyers dream come true. The Design Studio in Vero Beach, with over 3,000 square feet, showcases options for buyers to further enhance their new home with tile, cabinets, flooring and hardware selections. 

Managed by the second generation of the Handler family, Bill Handler, CEO of GHO Homes, insists that GHO Homes is a family consisting of employees, subcontractors and homeowners. In 2018, GHO Homes was 80% acquired by Green Brick Partners. However, Handler continues to run the day-to-day operations locally as CEO. “As a part of the Green Brick Partners Team, we are able to leverage Green Brick’s financial resources and national purchasing power and combine it with our local building expertise to create a truly unique operation.’’
