Highland Homes won the prestigious People’s Choice Builder of the Year honors for the third year in a row.

The People’s Choice competition rewards builders for excelling in customer service and is based on consumer voting. To identify the People’s Choice winners, the Dallas Builders Association enlisted the help of a market research firm – Market Research Answers, Inc., a company with deep experience in customer satisfaction and loyalty research.

Market Research Answers sent an online survey to thousands of homebuyers, asking for feedback on their builder on everything from home design, sales experience, customer service, community lifestyle and overall satisfaction. Respondents were also asked to rate – on a scale from zero to 10 – how likely they would be to recommend a particular builder to a friend or family member, which is considered the gold standard in customer satisfaction surveying. This is the third year that the Dallas Builders Association has given this award and Highland Homes has received this honor every year.
