Tampa Business Journal Names Highland Homes a Leading Business

Tampa, FL, November 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Highland Homes is in the news again in the Tampa, Florida area. They were just recognized in the Tampa Business Journal as being one of the leading businesses in the area. In their annual list of Privately Held companies for Gross Revenue, Highland Homes was ranked #74. This is a list of all businesses in the Tampa area, and the central Florida home builder is considered one of the most profitable. In today’s economy and especially in the building industry this is considered quite an extraordinary achievement for Highland Homes.

Highland Homes has received various accolades over the past few years while other independent builders go out of business, including other recognitions from the Tampa Business Journal. The owners Bob and Joel Adams, a father and son team, are actively involved in the day to day operations of the award-winning company, and they study the industry’s intricate details in order to out perform the competition.

“Our pricing strategies are audited and reviewed on a daily basis in order to remain competitive,” states Kathie McDaniel, marketing director for this Lakeland, Florida company.

The competition is always changing, so companies need to pay attention and be willing to adapt. Changes on the prices of Tampa new homes occur more frequently now than they ever have in order to gain market share. It is not unusual to see prices change two or three times per week as statistics are being reviewed.

“We need to stay ahead of the game,” says McDaniel. “That means analyzing pricing and product information from our competitors more frequently and finding ways to compete for sales.”

Highland Homes offers something other builders do not: a hometown business and good practices that people will want to talk about. The referral business for Highland Homes is over 30% of their sales.

“Buyers not only like our product, pricing and communities, but they like our sales people and company culture,” says McDaniel. “When buyers find something this good, they typically want to share the news with friends, family and co-workers. In today’s economy, referrals may be all companies can afford when marketing and advertising dollars are cut.”

Highland Homes prides themselves on customer satisfaction and quality. The quality isn’t just in their product; it includes their people, too. From sales people, to office staff, to construction and sub-contractors; the company’s culture is treating people with respect and making them feel important.
