My wife and I entered into a sales agreement with Highland Homes for a property in the Edgewater community (Webster, TX). Early in the construction process, we identified significant concerns with the framing of the home. When we raised these concerns, we were assured that multiple layers of inspections would address any issues and that all problems would be resolved before closing. Several months prior to closing, our private inspector discovered serious deficiencies, including issues with framing, exterior sealing, the absence of brick ties in multiple locations, and other critical construction elements. Once again, we were assured these problems would be corrected before closing. Our pre-closing walkthrough was scheduled approximately one week before the closing date. However, we were not provided adequate time to arrange another private inspection. During the walkthrough, numerous issues were noted, and hundreds of pieces of blue masking tape were placed to mark areas requiring attention. Several windows had been repaired, and we believed they were no longer factory-original, potentially voiding their OEM warranties. Additionally, the soil on both sides of the home remained persistently wet, and we were simply advised not to run the sprinklers in these areas. Other concerns included thermostats locked to prevent settings below 72°F and bathroom doors, except for the master bathroom, that were only 24 inches wide, making them impractical for anyone using a walker or wheelchair. We were told to run the bathroom vent fans for 20 minutes after every shower or bath, which seemed odd as well. When we requested documentation verifying that our concerns had been properly addressed, Highland Homes dismissed our requests as "unreasonable demands." We were informed that our only options were to proceed with closing or forfeit our earnest money and upgrade deposits. Despite consulting legal counsel and standing firm on our concerns, we found little recourse. The sales agreement is heavily skewed in favor of Highland Homes. Buyers should pay close attention to the arbitration clause and the section granting Highland Homes sole authority to select either a non-jury trial or binding arbitration. Additionally, the agreement includes a clause allowing the builder to retain all deposits if the buyer is deemed to be in "default." Alarmingly, Highland Homes interpreted "default" as any situation where my wife and I sought reasonable assurances about construction quality. In our experience, Highland Homes displayed a lack of transparency and accountability throughout this process. We strongly advise proceeding with extreme caution when entering into any agreement with this builder.

The naming convention for the tracks are "Shutterstock_489629 or Shutterstock_442793, etc." which I don't think would be too useful.

That’s a well thought out plan . Huge closets and space in the kids bedrooms and nice big driveway and backyard. Minor upgrades by a buyer after closing could turn this into a dream home . I’d personally match the flooring that’s downstairs throughout the upstairs shared spaces and do some better light fixtures through the house and mirror upgrades in the restrooms but other than that it’s good to go . 👍

Homes in the Florence collection are on 90' wide lots, so the lots fairly large and wide. This property is 5,521 square feet, which means that it has a large footprint (foundation). This brings the property right to the edge of the build line and closer to the property next door. If you're looking for property with more space in between the two houses, the Verona collection by Toll Brothers will be opening up in Travisso near the end of August and the build lots are at least an acre.
