About Us

Highland Homes was founded in 1985 by brother and sister team Rod Sanders and Jean Ann Brock. With Rod’s acute business sense and Jean Ann’s innovative approach to sales, marketing and architecture, they sold 13 homes in their first month of operation. Highland quickly grew to become one of the leading single-family homebuilders in the United States. Today, Highland builds over 1800 homes a year in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas.

Rod and Jean Ann’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has earned Highland many industry awards, including consistent high rankings by J.D. Power and Associates, making the top 20 in “The Builder 100 List” and winning the 2011 People’s Choice Builder of the Year. Though these accolades are wonderful, our top honor comes via referrals from homeowners as well as Realtors who continually sell Highland Homes.

At Highland we consider our talented team of associates an extension of our family, and have been ranked by Texas Monthly as one of The 50 Best Companies to Work for in Texas.

Highland was built on a solid foundation of core values and guiding principles, an approach that has kept us in business for over 25 years. This long-term financial success is just another reason why Highland Homes can offer security to our homeowners. At a time when many major banks were tightening their lending requirements, Highland secured over half a billion dollars in lines of credit, a strong indicator of stability. In fact, a Senior Vice President at Wells Fargo said,

“In my view, Highland is one of the best run homebuilders in our market today. Highland’s commitment to conservative financial stewardship means that they will be there in the future for their homebuyers, lenders and employees.”

We remain family-owned and dedicated to providing the best possible homebuilding and home buying experience. You can be certain that Highland Homes remains committed to our mission statement of “delivering homes we are proud of” and ensuring our homeowners are satisfied with their new home purchase.
