“Today’s home-shoppers are craving reassurance, and rightfully so following an era of rising mortgage rates and limited housing supply, but having a deep understanding of your customers, building meaningful relationships from the start, and leading with empathy can withstand any market condition,” said Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer. “These principles are core to who we are at Taylor Morrison, and that is proven in our nine-year streak of being named America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder.”
