Taylor Morrison led the celebration at the recent closing of its 2022 GHBA Benefit Home. Taylor Morrison built the Dahlia Plan in Grand Vista with donated materials, labor and services by GHBA member companies. Dozens of vendor and supplier partners donated to ensure the home, when sold, would raise valuable funds for Operation Finally Home and HomeAid Houston.
The entire Taylor Morrison team was present to thank the Do family for purchasing the home that was loaded with multiple upgrades and amenities they found met their dream home requirements.
“I was excited to see everything this home offered. We looked at many homes in the area and decided this one had all the features we were hoping for such as tall ceilings, bright lighting, lots of storage space and large bedrooms. We also were happy with the quality of the build and it felt good to know that two charities would be benefiting from this purchase.”
Lily Do, Homebuyer
Also attending the closing was Taylor Morrison leadership including Todd Rasmussen, city president; Bill Dalton, vice president of land acquisition; and Bob Kulpinski, vice president of field operations. Representing the GHBA were Jennifer Keller, 2022 GHBA president and Aimee Bertrand, GHBA CEO. The sales representative from Taylor Morrison who sold the home was Eddy Sheth, and the closing agent was Laura Schaefer, Inspired Title Services escrow brand manager. Scott Merovitch, Benefit Homes chair, led the proceedings.

“We could not have built this home without the philanthropic spirit of our dedicated vendors and suppliers who contributed to the effort. From the home’s survey, through to the closing, the vendors and suppliers are key to making this a successful fundraiser.”
