Who Is Highland Homes?
Highland Homes was founded in 1985 by a brother-and-sister team, Rod Sanders and Jean Ann Brock, and has grown into Texas's largest private homebuilder over the past four decades, with a reputation for elevated design and high standard features.
What sets Highland apart structurally is that it's 100% employee-owned. The company makes a real point of this: your sales counselor, your builder, and your warranty manager are all owners with a direct stake in your experience. Highland frames its service model around that ownership, and it backs warranty service with an in-house department rather than outsourcing it.

How Highland Builds
Highland is regarded as one of the stronger semi-custom-feeling production builders in Texas - elevated design, high standard features, and livable, timeless plans, with careful attention to community and lot selection. It emphasizes current energy-efficient construction methods and materials.
Because warranty service runs through an in-house team, homeowners deal directly with Highland rather than a third-party administrator after closing.
