Dennis Colwell

Founder & Lifestyle Consultant

“At the age of 17, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, establishing a successful auto detailing business in Houston from my parents’ garage— the first endeavor driven by the exceptional gift of my innate attention to detail. After earning a B.A. in Speech Communication from Texas A&M University, I ventured to New York City in 2000, immersing myself in the technology and production side of the television industry at ‘Good Morning America.’

Rooted in a family legacy of custom home builders and entrepreneurs, my encounters led me to discover a natural eye for construction, design, and quality. Adding over two decades of experience in the residential real estate industry, I’ve overseen transactions exceeding a billion dollars and managed over 500 real estate agents. My reputation is built on the pillars of honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness.

Over the years, I’ve also been personally engaged in numerous interior design and landscape projects, all together honing a multifaceted expertise that spans management, hospitality, brokerage, design, renovation, technology, entertainment, customer service, and organizational oversight. Essentially every moment of my adult life has played a key factor to my working knowledge of each aspect that Refined Lifestyles delivers.

Driven by an early appreciation for luxury travel, I questioned why our everyday lives aren’t surrounded by the same fabulous environments and first-class hospitality found in five-star hotels and found it disheartening to have to relish in such remarkable moments for only a few days a year. This passion has inspired my home design visions, immersing our daily homes in the opulence of such sensational experiences.

Through my real estate career, I observed the gap between finding the perfect home and the daunting moving process that follows. This gap often leaves individuals who fell in love with a beautiful model apartment living in chaos due to a lack of time, knowledge, or resources. It’s in recognizing this need that my passion crystallized: curating exceptional spaces and cultivating fabulous ambiances.

Thus, Refined Lifestyles was born—a solution to a need in the market that has not yet been identified. One company, guiding you seamlessly from the start to finish, delivering the first truly turnkey homes.

Thank you for visiting Refined Lifestyles, where over the top elegance, luxury and boundless imagination are reality.”
