Highlands Residential Mortgage has been named the #1 Best Mortgage Company to Work For in 2025! This is our second time earning the top spot and our eighth consecutive year making the list—an achievement that speaks to the incredible culture we’ve built together. Even more impressively, we’ve consistently ranked in the top 20 every year during this period.
This recognition is based on extensive employee surveys and evaluations of workplace policies, measuring key factors like leadership, culture, communication, job satisfaction, work environment, and overall engagement. The companies that earn this recognition foster environments where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to go the extra mile. In fact, 97% of surveyed employees from this year’s top-ranked lenders agreed with the statement: “I am willing to give extra effort to help this organization succeed.”
The mortgage industry has faced challenges in recent years, but companies that prioritize their employees continue to thrive. At Highlands, we’ve stayed strong by investing in technology, prioritizing work-life balance, and creating an environment where our team can thrive. This award is a reflection of those efforts—and of the people who make Highlands such a special place to work.
We are incredibly proud of this recognition and grateful to every member of the Highlands family. Your dedication and passion make Highlands the incredible company it is today. Together, we continue to set a Higher Standard of Lending.
