Scott Roberts: Passion and Development Steers Company’s Success

Passion that develops and manages enriching communities for
hard-working families

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–R.C. Roberts founded Roberts Resorts & Communities in 1968 and his high
standards, dedication to professionalism and long-term relationships
with every resident along with genuine hospitality were among his most
notable business ethics. Scott Roberts carries on this tradition and
spirit of his father stating it is “important that the following
generations fulfill the legacy left by his father, R.C. Roberts.”

After his father’s passing in 1998 from a long battle with cancer, Scott
and his siblings took over Roberts Resorts & Communities believing
“there is one thing that sets my family business apart from others in
our industry, that is the ability to look at a manufactured home
community opportunity with a unique perspective. Many of these
communities had been overlooked by other investors because they suffered
from low occupancies, were nearly empty and/or losing money.” Roberts
goes on to say “with this in mind, we have a unique talent for raising
occupancy and improving earning potential to make these struggling
communities successful.” This business model revolves around profiting
from an underperforming asset.

Whether it’s a Roberts Communities, manufactured home family community
or a Roberts Resorts, 55+ active adult resorts, there is always a strong
sense of community upon entering the gates. The Roberts family and the
Team of professional staff are a family of devoted people who genuinely
care about providing the highest quality community lifestyle. Giving
back is part of the Roberts family culture and includes supporting
charities such as the Anti-Defamation League of Austin, the Travis
County Sheriff’s Office and the Austin Police Department. Scott Roberts
believes “we are not just a collection of individuals doing our jobs, we
are advocates for people, champions for those who do not have a broad
reach and voice.”

Roberts Communities is a company whose mission is building communities
and fulfilling dreams. Home ownership is the foundation that provides
families with the security and stability necessary to thrive and
prosper. Many of the Roberts Communities residents never thought the
idea of owning a home was within their reach. Roberts adds “our
community lifestyle and the home ownership opportunity we offer, give
families the pride and self-confidence necessary to enrich their lives.”
This year, the company plans to bring over 1,100 luxury manufactured
homes to Central Texas alone. As affordability concerns continue to
rise, Roberts and team are fulfilling homeownership dreams with
attainable housing throughout all communities with home prices starting
in the $60s.

Throughout Arizona, Texas, Colorado and California, the company and its
leadership believe in the importance of involvement on the state and
national levels as well. In addition to participation on the Future
of Housing Panel
, Scott Roberts & team are also highly involved in
the MHI (Manufactured Housing Industry) Congress & Expo. Roberts
understands “the largest challenge in our industry is financing” and
that without getting involved “the industry will not have a local or
national voice.” Part of the company’s involvement in local and national
associations includes recognition with Roberts Resorts & Communities
being awarded “MHI Community of the Year” for several properties in
Phoenix, AZ and Austin, TX.

The Roberts Resorts & Communities has created a wonderfully unique
culture and brand. The culture didn’t begin in the pages of a corporate
manual. It started organically with the Roberts Communities family and
lives in the smiles that are constantly on display at each of the
communities. “It comes from the personal integrity and the
resourcefulness needed to turn prospective residents into homeowners,”
says Roberts. He goes on to say, “we value our reputation, we do what we
say and we treat every resident like family.” The exemplary customer
service and devotion to the Roberts Resorts & Communities mission are
matched by no one,” says Roberts. Every team member is extremely proud
of the work they do to enrich the lives of current and future
residents. It is that compassion and pride in their work that has made
Roberts Resorts & Communities a successful company.

In his spare time, Scott Roberts is seasoned pilot, a hobby that began
with his father and mother, who were both pilots. An avid outdoorsman,
Roberts also enjoys hiking, mountain biking, boating and fishing with
wife and children commenting, “we enjoy anything physical that keeps me
out of the office.

Roberts Communities has been an owner and operator of family communities
for over 50 years. The founder’s, R.C. Roberts, high standards and
professionalism guide the second generation of the Roberts family in
maintaining excellent long-term relationships with their residents.
Owning, developing and managing these communities with unsurpassed
hospitality has given the Roberts Family a reputation in the highest
regards. This is what the Roberts Family is all about: relationships,
professionalism, family, hospitality and always a sense of home.
