Our Story
How it All Started
Highlands Residential Mortgage was founded in 2010 by industry veterans: Bill Starkey, Sr., Ken Hickman, and Brian Starkey. They were intent on building a strong, origination-focused company – and selected knowledgeable leaders in Brian Bennett (President), Danny Deaton (Chief Production Officer), and Steve Peters (Chief Operations Officer) to help make that happen. Since those early days, Highlands has grown consistently from it’s Texas-only roots in 2013 and now has over 40 branch locations across the country!
