Our Company
Our Story
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!
Our Vision
We want our customers, partners, and employees to be proud of doing business with Highlands. To accomplish this, we created a supportive, growth-oriented culture for our team members, so they can deliver unmatched service and products to our customers and industry partners.
Our Mission is to provide superior quality service that employees can take pride in, customers actively refer to their family and friends, and Realtors/Builders enthusiastically recommend to their clients.
Recruiting
We want our team members to know they have our support, that we understand their sense of urgency, and that we are providing the tools they need to do work they can be proud of. Led and managed by former originators, our seasoned leadership team fully understands what it takes to succeed in today’s lending environment. Learn more about how we do it.
