Highland Homes Reviews

The experience was the worst I have ever had in buying a home. Our realtor, Hector and my finance person didn’t get a long, they were pointing fingers at who was at fault, Hector went so far to add me and my wife on the email chain, and the result ended up causing us to miss closing and having to move twice. We emailed Hector’s boss about how unprofessional this was and his boss still to this day has never acknowledged or responded.. No one cared that all the unprofessional behavior cost us, the buyer, thousands of dollars to move and store our items until we could get closed. The VA inspector reached out to Hector for a week, with NO response, then when Hector finally responded and scheduled the inspector the home did NOT have appliances. The house has had several issues, that if anyone really looked they would have been fixed, 2 doors with door handles uneven, one much higher than the other. Underneath cabinets paneling falling off, paint was sloppy, the painters have been back several times. The yard has an open ticket now, our grass is dead, we noted this in walk through. I would never buy another Highland home or recommend Highland. ... More

The purchasing process and initial negotiations were fantastic. As newcomers to the US, we received substantial support and guidance on how to navigate the home-buying process, which differs significantly from what we’re accustomed to in our home country. Once the terms were agreed upon, things proceeded relatively smoothly. However, as the closing date approached, our experience took a turn for the worse. The initially agreed-upon numbers suddenly increased significantly, with a considerable hike in the total house value causing a major dispute among all parties involved. Despite the challenges, we persisted, and at the last minute, the numbers came down closer to the original agreement—though not quite the same. The Construction Manager has been excellent, addressing our concerns and providing support when needed. Overall, Highland Homes is a reputable company with an impressive sales process and diligent construction follow-up, albeit with some room for improvement in materials and a less-than-ideal lender company. ...

my family truly enjoy new house. Quality of materials is great. appliances, faucets are perfectly selected by a builder, well balanced cabinet colors. Also worth to highlight seamless communication and positive experience with a construction team. Guys, you're doing great.

Fantastic experience from purchase to closing, but most important, after closing. Highland has been great with the communication during the entire process and we would highly recommend them!

I enjoyed working with highland homes team. Great customer service.

The over process was seamless and all personnel involved were professional, available, very responsive and helped this process to go smoothly before, during and after. I would highly recommend Highland Homes. They actually care about the buyer's concerns and needs and have beautiful and quality homes and very nice and well kept communities.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Highland Homes and their exceptional builder, Jonathan, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. From the very first consultation to the final walk-through of my new home, every interaction with Highland Homes has been marked by professionalism, thoughtfulness, and unparalleled expertise. Jonathan, in particular, deserves special recognition for his dedication and attention to detail throughout the entire building process. He listened attentively to our vision for our dream home and worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the design and construction met and exceeded my expectations. His wealth of knowledge and experience in homebuilding was evident in every suggestion and recommendation he made, always aiming to enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the house. What truly sets Jonathan and Highland Homes apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Jonathan was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, making us feel confident and reassured at every step of the journey. His proactive communication ensured that we were informed of progress updates regularly, and any issues that arose were swiftly resolved with efficiency and care. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail exhibited by Highland Homes is truly remarkable. Every corner of my new home reflects the passion and skill of the team behind it. They use only the finest materials and partner with reputable suppliers, ensuring a home that not only looks stunning but is built to last for generations. Beyond the technical expertise, Jonathan and the entire Highland Homes team foster a warm and welcoming environment that makes the homebuilding process enjoyable and stress-free. Their genuine enthusiasm for creating beautiful homes is infectious, and it's clear that they take great pride in their work. In conclusion, choosing Highland Homes and working with Jonathan has been an absolute pleasure. They have not just built a house for us; they have helped bring my vision of a perfect home to life. If you're looking for a homebuilder who combines professionalism, thoughtfulness, and expertise with a genuine commitment to your satisfaction, look no further than Highland Homes. They have earned my highest recommendation without hesitation. ... More

It was a great buying experience and I did it all over again if I had to

Thank you for your quality and excellent service! Another very happy customer!

Jon, the salesman, was shady and would tell us whatever he thought would get us to sign. Fortunately for us, we always recorded and/or had a witness present to validate our statements. We had to deal directly with the regional lead to finally come to a resolution, including intentionally misleading us regarding the 20k incentive. He was just as deceptive regarding what changes we could make (we wanted a circular tub). After our earnest deposit cleared, it came to light that we couldn’t do that. He also misled us by 2 weeks regarding closing (the date changed within a week after we went under contract and the construction manager had no idea why the salesman had fabricated the completion date). After we moved inC we had continuous issues with the air conditioners and plumbing (hot water would either take more than 6 minutes to actually get hot, or we would lose the hot water mid-shower). It took at least 3 attempts per issue to make progress. We will see if the latest bandaids work or not. Of note, the construction managers (David and Caleb) have been amazing through it all and are the only reason we haven’t already filed suit against highland. ... More

Things not completed on time. Poor workmanship. Poor delivery. Poor quality of craftsmanship. Poor commitment to homeowner! No ETA. After 3 months into the home, still have so many issue pending. You have forced me to decide that I don't want to live in this house for longer than I have to. No one even thinks like that for a rental home.

Overall we are happy with our home but we do have some things we are very disappointed with. This is the first home we did not build from the ground up and we know things won’t be perfect but there are issues, the dining room light isn’t centered which will look bad when a table is properly placed in the room. There is paint all over door knobs and stoppers, the quality of the paint job on some doors and trim is very poor with dried paint dripping showing. There is a big texture patch in the laundry room where they either got the texture applied wrong or had to patch the area and didn’t texture good. Some doors are warped. Some door trim cuts do not align or the boards are damaged. In the master bath above the mirror there are sunken anchors in the wall above the mirror as if they had something placed there before but then removed it and then they painted over the anchors. The landscaping is a hodge podge of various plants with no rhyme or reason to them. These are all things we have discovered after being in the home, we did do a walk through and MANY things were addressed and fixed before we moved in but there are obvious things that can be missed during that walkthrough and that is what I am describing in this review. ...

We just bought a highland home in crosswinds and the overall experience has been great with Highland homes. I would definitely recommend buying a Highland home to all my friends and family.

Huge shoutout to Edison Peralta, our builder. He is the best! Very experienced, detailed and thoughtful builder. He understood all our crazy custom requirements and built them to perfection. His expertise and guidance helped us made better design choices. Thank you for building our dream home. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Anna Grach. She is just awesome! Anna is a true example of customer first service. Anna understands the customer requirements and always helps to get best for customer. Thank you, Anna!

Love the design of our home but it’s been an absolute headache dealing with so many issues that need to be fixed. Tired of having workers in and out of my house nearly 3 months after closing. Many of these issues could have been avoided with just a little competence in project management. I’m sure we’ll love our home long term but the process getting there has been terrible

The materials are cheap. Replaced light fixtures in bedroom with ceiling fans and the fixtures were plastic and could not be more than $10. This is throughout the house - I could go on. The warranty department is non responsive. Still waiting for a response and have left serveral messages. The air conditioner is not working properly and will be the 3rd call directly to the company they picked.

From the initial sales visit with Brittany….. weekly progress reports from Brittany and Hunter…,.. now follow up on minor issues with the home, couldn’t ask for better service and responsiveness. So happy with our home and the location!!!

It was an overall great experience from start to finish.

The sales rep,Ginger, was delightful and helpful. Highland homes was willing to do a contingent contract and give us time to get our house closed. The builder rep, Luis, was extremely responsive and helpful. He wanted to make sure we were totally satisfied with our home and experience. We LOVE our home; it’s beautiful!

We decided to buy another Highland Home because we loved our first Highland Home. The second Highland Home we purchased was a model home. It is very nice but it seems some of the workmanship isn’t as great as our first home. I was also not impressed with Mr Cason’s attitude when doing our walk through. Apparently, the sales person Brad left out that when you buy a model home it sells as is, this was very disappointing since this wasn’t told to us until the day before closing. We still like our home and have been fixing/repairing the few items that Highland said are not covered. Lastly, there was a mural in one of the bedroom walls and Highland accidentally had it painted over due to some miscommunication, this was very disappointing and Mr. Cason didn’t seem to care. There is no doubt that I would buy another Highland Home, but probably not a model home. ... More

A great big “Thank You” to Avery Turek, Andrew Gonzales, and the Highland Homes @ 6 Creeks crew for such a wonderful home buying experience. Our new home is a GEM!

I am writing to you as a very concerned homebuyer. We recently built a house in Jordan Ranch with Highland Homes. While we expected the home buying process to be difficult, we have had quite an unpleasant experience with Highland Homes. From the get-go, there has been significant miscommunication and quality control issues. There have been many emails sent to our salesperson, our contractor and our project manager regarding issues, most recently being the unfinished nature of the house even after closing. There were multiple issues that were to be resolved before closing but were not. All of them are in writing, either through text message or email. These examples can be provided if necessary. We were assured at closing that these items would be completed the following week as we had let our salesperson and contractor know that we would be moving in approximately 2 weeks from signing our closing documents. The following week came, and the items were not completed. The next week came, and even after reminding everyone that we would be moving in later that week, the items were still not completed. We have now been here for about 4 weeks and the items have not all been completed, and we are finding more problems around the house - door knobs not being tightened appropriately and falling off, paint splatter, light bulb covers falling from the ceiling are just to name a few. My wife is at the end of her pregnancy and instead of being able to unpack our boxes and get the house ready for the baby, she is babysitting tradesmen and cleaning up after them as they come and go. She stayed home for the whole day on Friday 6/7, 6/14, and 6/21. We have to put a hard stop on anymore major repairs on the house because we need to get the house prepared for the baby. This was discussed with our contractor. On Saturday 6/8, painters were supposed to arrive at 7am and finish their job. I woke up and waited for them. No one showed up, and we were not notified until 9-10am. Things happen but this is the most recent incident of disrespect for our time and frankly this has happened way too much. I then had to stay at home for multiple hours on Sunday 6/9 while the painter came to complete his work. I am extremely tired and frustrated with the poor communication, the lack of professionalism, and lack of attention to detail with our housing project. I do appreciate Chuck coming to our house on Thursday 6/6 to evaluate our concerns. But the fact that everything was not finished on Friday and the painters did not show up the following day are just icing on the cake. Because of the cost of our time, the inability to unpack our things, the lack of professionalism, and poor communication, I would like to be reimbursed by Highland Homes. With everything that has gone on throughout the build and most recently, I think that 2 months’ worth of mortgage payments is fair. I do not believe this is asking too much and am happy to chat about it further. At this time, I cannot recommend Highland Homes as a builder to anyone that inquires. Our house cost us over $725,000, but I do not feel that the craftsmanship, communication, and professionalism was up to the standards that Highland Homes claims to deliver. Thank you for reading this message and evaluating our situation. ... More

Seamless process from start to finish and met all timelines as promised. Kim and Carey were great to work with!

Building my dream home with Highland Homes was a wonderful experience. From the moment I visited the model to closing day, everyone that worked with me throughout the process was extremely helpful. Ginger, June, and Luis were an absolute pleasure to work with!!

We are absolutely thrilled with our new home in Santa Rita Ranch built by Highland Homes! From the moment we stepped into the model, we knew we were in good hands. The quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the entire home. The sales team was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the buying process seamless. Construction Manager is Awesome. They listened to our needs and delivered a home that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, the design, and the finishes are all top-notch. We love the open floor plan, the natural light, and the spacious rooms. The community is beautiful, and the amenities are fantastic. Highland Homes truly goes above and beyond to ensure their customers are happy. We couldn't be happier with our decision to build with them. If you're looking for a quality home in a great community, look no further than Highland Homes in Santa Rita Ranch! ... More
