From Intern to Division President with Kerri Paulino from Meritage Homes

 In this episode of Think BIG, Taylor Lyles speaks with Kerri Paulino, Division President at Meritage Homes, about her inspiring 21-year journey in the homebuilding industry. Kerri reflects on starting as an intern with Ryan Homes in Pittsburgh during her undergraduate years, then advancing her career in the competitive DC and Houston markets to end up as a Division President in Greenville. In Houston, she gained experience across all aspects of homebuilding, preparing for her current leadership role in Greenville.

Kerri discusses the similarities and differences between the Houston and Greenville markets and highlights what makes Meritage Homes unique—from their 100% spec strategy that provides time frame and interest rate certainty to their new Realtor Rewards Pilot Program, designed to achieve 100% realtor representation. She shares how this innovative initiative creates a win-win-win scenario for Meritage, realtors, and homeowners. Kerri also emphasizes the importance of fostering a company culture that helps employees thrive and outlines Meritage's ambitious plan to close 1,000 units in 2025. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone interested in leadership, real estate, and the future of homebuilding.
