Garland Humphries | Broker

I have been blessed to be a part of Highlands Realty since 2000.  I was always treated like family here and was extremely pleased when the opportunity presented itself to purchase Highlands Realty. Though we changed the name to Highlands Realty & Associates, LLC, it is and will continue to be my goal to maintain the family atmosphere. I also feel blessed to be a part of the Highlands Community.  It occurred to me that whether I am a Realtor, an equipment salesmen, a biscuit maker, or a grocery clerk, it’s not about what you do.  It’s about the people you serve and the time your lives intersect. We have a beautiful place to show you here in the Highlands, but the people you meet will remind you of family. We look forward to exceeding your expectations.
