Ron Collins
Director of Land Consultation
Ron was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, into a family deeply rooted in real estate and development. His father, a custom home builder and developer in the Triangle area since 1957, instilled in him a strong foundation in construction, land evaluation, and development from an early age. Ron began working in the family business alongside his oldest sister, performing a variety of roles from property cleanouts and deck construction to hands-on involvement in all aspects of development. By the age of 16, he took on responsibilities including building permits, zoning compliance, and land speculation, gaining extensive experience navigating municipal regulations. As Managing Partner at RWC Properties, Ron now oversees locating and evaluating new land and income-producing properties for potential development and investment across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. He is proficient in working with town councils, county boards, and permitting authorities, ensuring compliance with zoning approvals and other county and business requirements. Ron also manages and evaluates existing land and rental holdings for development or sale, including negotiating timbering operations and contracts on multiple tree farms. Since January 2025, following his father's passing, Ron has taken on expanded responsibilities for RWC Properties, leading strategic land acquisitions and development projects.
