Inc. magazine has named Highlands Residential Mortgage, a home purchase and refinance company, to its Inc. 5000 list. In its 36th year, Inc. 5000 is known for being the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

“We have come a long way and this is yet another great accomplishment by our company that is 100 percent the result of our outstanding people at Highlands Residential Mortgage!” said Brian W. Bennett, Highlands Residential Mortgage President.

What does it take for a company to qualify for the prestigious list? Here are Inc.‘s requirements:

• Be privately-owned, based in the U.S., and independent
• Have started earning revenue by March 31, 2013
• Show revenue no less than $100k in 2013

• Confirm 2016 revenue exceeds 2013 revenue

Highlands has seen a 371 percent growth over a three-year period. While the Inc. 5000 list reflects Highland’s growth through the end of 2016, our company has achieved many recent milestones. These include:

• Nationally ranked in Mortgage Executive Magazine
