At a Senate hearing on his nomination as a housing regulator, 37-year-old Bill Pulte cast himself as heir to his family’s building legacy, recalling job site visits with his grandfather, PulteGroup’s founder, and praising Atlanta. Yet he no longer has an official role at PulteGroup after being pushed off its board in 2020, and the family’s $500 million foundation said he does not speak for them. Today, his real-estate ties include five aging Florida mobile-home parks, some in disrepair, not readily apparent on disclosures because he listed parent firms, not the subsidiaries that bought them in 2023 and 2024.
