We had the good fortune of connecting with Royce Colley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Royce, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success as a home builder is consistency and quality. I like to take pride in providing a quality product. I look at every project as if it were my own.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the owner of RLC Development Group, LLC and Castle Park Homes, LLC. RLC serves as the construction company to my clients while Castle Park is the home building company that I own and operate. I am most proud of just being able to take a raw piece of land and turn it into a beautiful stucture that family’s love. Although I have built over 40 homes, I still get excited about every home that I build. I look to learn something different and new with every build.

I got where I am today by staying consistent and believing that this is my purpose in life. The road to being a home builder has had it’s challenges. Failed partnerships, sub-contractor whoas, profit loss, etc. But every day that is granted to me is a day to face any challenge head on and make a better situation out of it. I overcome challenges by just staying positive and taking every situation not as a loss but a learning experience.

The most important lesson that I’ve learned along the way is that no matter how successful you become, you are the only one that knows the value of your vision. Fulfilling a vision takes work, and patience. Everything in life is a process, just like building houses.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
For me, I don’t really go out much but when I do mix and mingle, I might go to Breakfast Brothers for bruch. If I’m hanging out I might go to a nice hookah lounge like LUXX. For dinner, I’m hitting spots like Monarch, Harper’s, Ocean Prime.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Although there is not one single individual that I woulld like to shout out, I would like to shoutout my friends and family for their support and encouragement. My social media following is also a big part of my success. Their interest in what is that I do keeps me motivated to continue building beautiful homes.
