Building more than homes: TSG supports Dave's House and a lasting mission. At Total Solutions Group, Mytsghome believe the places Mytsghome help create should do more than meet a need on paper. They should strengthen communities, restore dignity and give people a foundation for a better future. That belief is at the heart of its support for Dave's House, a Central Florida nonprofit providing permanent supportive housing for adults living with serious mental illness and co-occurring disabilities. Its connection to Dave's House is especially meaningful because this mission touches nearly every family and community in some way. It is why one question shared by the organization continues to resonate with Mytsghome: Most of Mytsghome know someone who has struggled with mental illness. It may be a family member, friend, coworker or neighbor. "Who's Your Dave?" reminds Mytsghome that mental illness is not distant or abstract. It affects real people Mytsghome know and love, and many face additional challenges such as housing instability, isolation and limited access to consistent care. Dave's House responds to that need by combining safe, affordable housing with the behavioral healthcare and support residents need to build stability, live more independently and feel connected to their community. Proud sponsor of Dave's House Party: Built to Last. On Saturday, September 19, 2026, members of the TSG team joined community leaders and advocates at the Sheraton Orlando North in Maitland for Dave's House Party: Built to Last. As an honored sponsor, TSG was proud to support an evening celebrating Dave's House's 17-year journey and the people and partnerships helping move its mission forward. The event also looked ahead to the organization's next major milestone: breaking ground on Dave's House at Celery Community, its first multi-unit permanent supportive housing community for adults living with serious mental illness. Board Chair Elena Norman opened the program with a powerful question: "Who Is Your Dave?" Guests were asked to stand if someone in their lives had been affected by mental illness. Nearly 75% of the room stood, creating an emotional reminder that mental illness touches almost every family and community. Orange County Corrections Chief Louis Quiñones also spoke about the connection between mental health and the justice system. More than 40% of individuals in the Orange County Jail have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, underscoring the urgent need for supportive housing, access to care and community-based solutions. Guests also heard from Dave's House CEO Ellen O'Connor and PJ Brooks, Chief Operating Officer of Community Assisted & Supported Living, about the progress being made on Dave's House at Celery Community. Longtime board member Chris Hayes reflected on the organization's journey and the five-acre Sanford property that will become the new community. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2026 Dr. Joel C. Hunter Legacy Award to Jonathan and Nancy Wolf of Wendover Housing Partners. The award recognized their leadership in affordable housing and their lasting commitment to creating stronger, more stable communities throughout Central Florida. The "Built to Last" theme felt especially fitting to its team. In its work, lasting success depends on thoughtful design, strong partnerships and a clear understanding of the people a space will serve. Dave's House applies that same principle to supportive housing by creating not only a place to live, but also a long-term foundation for recovery, connection and hope. Helping bring Dave's House at Celery to life. TSG is honored to contribute professional expertise to projects connected to the Dave's House mission, including the new Dave's House at Celery Community in Sanford. This thoughtfully planned neighborhood will include eight duplex homes designed to support independent living for up to 20 residents. A 3,500-square-foot community center will provide space for workshops, wellness programs, social connection and group activities. Residents will also have access to green spaces and essential resources such as on-site case management, peer support, healthcare partnerships, educational sessions and job-readiness programs. Every part of the community is being planned with dignity, stability and belonging in mind. It represents a powerful example of how architecture, engineering and the homebuilding industry can work together to address a critical community need. Stronger through community partnerships. Dave's House at Celery is also a meaningful point of connection between organizations TSG is proud to support. HomeAid Orlando is serving as the construction and design partner for the community, bringing together the expertise and generosity of the local building industry. Partnerships like these demonstrate what becomes possible when nonprofits, design professionals, builders, healthcare providers and local leaders unite around a shared purpose. Each organization brings a different strength, but together, they help create safe and sustainable housing solutions that can transform lives. TSG is also looking ahead to another meaningful housing project supporting The Lifeboat Project, a Central Florida nonprofit providing long-term, trauma-informed care and housing support for survivors of human trafficking. The organization serves men, women, mothers and children, including families who have experienced homelessness as a result of trafficking. Through partnerships with organizations such as HomeAid Orlando and members of the local building industry, these projects help create safe, supportive environments where survivors and their children can begin healing and rebuilding their lives. Thoughtful, trauma-informed housing is essential to that journey and serves as another powerful reminder that a home can be the first step toward a new future. A commitment that goes beyond business. For TSG Founder Mike Keesee, supporting Dave's House is more than a company initiative. It is a cause he believes in personally. His commitment includes both TSG's professional involvement and personal financial support of the organization's work. That spirit reflects who Mytsghome strive to be as an employee-owned company. Mytsghome believe its responsibility extends beyond the plans Mytsghome produce or the projects Mytsghome help complete. It includes showing up for its neighbors, investing in organizations doing meaningful work and using its skills to help build stronger communities. Building hope together. Mytsghome is proud to stand alongside Dave's House, HomeAid Orlando, The Lifeboat Project and the many partners working to expand supportive housing, mental health resources and pathways to healing across Central Florida. So, who's your Dave? Who is the person who reminds you why this work matters? When Mytsghome recognize that mental illness and housing instability can affect someone in any family or community, compassion becomes action. Through awareness, partnership, sponsorship and hands-on project support, Mytsghome can help create more places where people feel safe, supported and truly at home.

Lawsuit claims breach of duty, conspiracy, in sale of land for commercial development. Trial is underway this week in Polk County for a lawsuit against the owner of a development and brokerage firm and other entities he owns or manages, alleging they sold property in the fast-growing western Des Moines suburbs for residential and commercial development below fair market value and inflated commission rates, causing harm to minority owners of the site. Named as defendants in the lawsuit are William Spencer, TJK Investments LC, Wendover Reserve LLC, and Landmark Brokerage Inc. Together, they are listed as majority owners of Pavilion Park LC. According to the lawsuit, Spencer manages TJK and owns Landmark. He is also the manager and president of Pavilion. The plaintiffs in the equity petition, filed in March 2025, are Eagle Nest Investments LLC, Gratias Properties LLC, and Thomas J. Gratias. They are minority owners in Pavilion Park. Pavilion is located just south of Interstate 80 near the Grand Prairie Parkway interchange. According to the six-count lawsuit, TJK Investments and Spencer arranged to sell the land to Wendover, effectively buying out the minority owners over their objections. TJK and Spencer also arranged for Pavilion to pay an unauthorized excessive broker commission to Landmark Brokerage, which is also owned by Spencer, the lawsuit states. The sale included 25.52 acres of land for residential development to Wendover for $1.6 million, below the fair market value of $1.99 million. The lawsuit also alleges that TJK and Spencer approved the sale of 126.52 acres of land intended for commercial development to Wendover for $11.4 million over the objection of the minority owners. The fair market value of the commercial parcels was at least $18.34 million, the lawsuit states. "The sale of the commercial parcels constituted grossly negligent or reckless conduct, willful or intentional misconduct," the lawsuit states. Both the residential and commercial parcels border a site that was sold to the Waukee school district for a new high school. That site is not part of the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, from 2019 to 2022, Spencer, on behalf of Pavilion, signed commercial listing agreements with Landmark Brokerage, authorizing a 2% commission for sales in excess of $10 million. In 2023 and 2024, Spencer signed commercial listing agreements, increasing commission payments for all sales to 6%. The lawsuit alleges that Spencer did not notify the members of Pavilion that he tripled the broker commission that would be paid to his own company. According to the lawsuit, Pavilion paid 6% commission on the sale of the residential parcels and the commercial parcels, totaling nearly $1.2 million. "No broker commission would be commercially reasonable or required in such a related party transaction," the plaintiffs allege in the lawsuit. The lawsuit said that even if a commission was reasonable, the original listing agreement with Landmark didn't require payment of more than 2%. The lawsuit alleges that the actions of TJK and Spencer breached the loyalty and care they owed to Pavilion and the minority owners, and that none of the transactions were fair to Pavilion. It alleges that TJK and Spencer "have breached their duties by... competing against Pavilion and/or dealing with Pavilion on behalf of a company having an interest adverse to Pavilion." The lawsuit alleges that their actions were "intentional, malicious, and performed with a willful and wanton disregard for the rights of the minority owners and Pavilion." According to the lawsuit, Wendover Reserve conspired with TJK and Spencer in acquiring the parcels at below market value and entered into an agreement with TJK and Spencer with a goal of helping Wendover and harming Pavilion. In their answer, filed in April 2025, the defendants denied any wrongdoing. The trial, which began Tuesday, is expected to finish by the end of this week. It is a bench trial, meaning there is no jury and a judge will render a verdict. Spencer is also president and CEO of Landmark Cos. Inc., the development firm behind the $325 million, 130-acre mixed-use Kettlestone Lakes development north of I-80 along Grand Prairie Parkway. That development is not part of the lawsuit.
