Why Hazel is the Perfect Fit as Highland Homes' Mascot

When Highland Homes launched its mascot search, we were looking for more than a friendly face. We needed a true team player, with a personality that embodies the culture we’ve built at Highland Homes: one where people come first, relationships matter, and every homeowner is part of our extended family.

Hazel delivered from day one. With unmatched charm, enthusiasm, and the ability to make others feel welcome, she was the obvious first-round selection for Team Highland Homes. Her warm personality and genuine spirit make her a living symbol of what it means to be part of Highland Homes. She reminds us that building a home isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about heart, teamwork, and a sense of belonging.

Negotiations wrapped quickly with a hoofshake, a custom-fit bow, and a signing bonus of Hazel’s favorite animal crackers.
