Inside Highland Lakes
Highland Lakes is a master-planned community of about 450 acres in northwest McKinney, between Bloomdale Road and FM 1461. Taylor Morrison and Pulte Homes are each building half of roughly 1,376 homes, with an amenity center, pool, fitness center, splash pad and trails that connect to an on-site lake, and Community Impact reported an expected completion in 2028. Homes here are zoned to Prosper ISD on recent listings, which is a big part of why buyers shop it.
The lesson here is that new and resale homes are competing on the same streets. A 2023 resale of about 2,700 square feet was listed near $650,000 while a 4,118 square foot Taylor Morrison home completed in 2026 was listed at about $861,000. If you are selling, price against the builders' current incentives, not just past sales. If you are buying, ask the builder what is included and compare it to a nearly new resale where the fence, blinds and landscaping are already done.
The builder's rep works for the builder. I work for you.
As your agent I owe you fiduciary duties under Texas law: I have to put your interests above everyone else's, including my own, and tell you anything material I learn about the deal. In that sales office, I'm the only real advocate you have.
I walk the slab, the framing before drywall and the final with you and your inspector, and I know what to push back on.
A builder's rep sells one community. I put your budget side by side across builders, with the PID or MUD, the school district and the incentive each one is offering that month.
Builders offer price cuts, closing costs or a rate buydown. I run the numbers on each option so you take the one that does the most for your monthly payment.
Builders write their own contracts, not the standard state forms. I go through every page with you, and stay on it until you have the keys.
On new construction the builder usually pays my fee, and I confirm it in writing before you sign. Bring me, or register me, on your first visit, because many builders won't add an agent later.
