Dan Handler, Bill’s father, shared his daily experiences as a builder and developer of shopping centers throughout the eastern United States. With his extensive knowledge of the construction business, Dan decided to expand his efforts into residential construction with the founding of GHO Homes in 1983. In the ensuing years the company grew steadily, building projects from Sunrise to Daytona Beach. After 17 years of growth and experience, the torch was passed when Dan Handler placed Bill in charge of the next generation of GHO Homes. Bill’s credentials brought tremendous momentum to the GHO family management team. After graduating with honors from the University of Florida with a degree in Building Construction, Bill went on to earn his Law Degree from the University of Florida and became a licensed contractor, allowing him to combine practical “hands-on” experience with the knowledge and business acumen necessary to guide the company. GHO Homes has continued to raise the bar for teamwork and efficiency, the cornerstones of the company’s success and two areas of expertise that led to the creation of the GHO Tailor-Made program. This program sets GHO apart from its competitors by allowing home buyers to customize their homes with numerous plan options, built-ins and upgrades that exceed industry standards and result in custom, one-of-a-kind homes at a value balanced to their needs. The large number of repeat GHO home buyers confirms that the GHO Tailor-Made program is a resounding success with our customers. In April of 2018 Green Brick Partners purchased the assets of GHO Homes and continued the GHO tradition owned 80% by Green Brick Partners and 20% by Bill Handler, who is also the CEO, leaving the company infrastructure, culture, and employees intact as well as preserving the building production style. We build your home with a pride born from experience and through the efforts of a family-focused team of dedicated home building professionals.
