My client site royaloakshomesfl.com is coming up in my dashboard as having Search engines have been blocked by robots.txt, only I have no idea where to find it and fix the problem. Please help! I do have access to webmaster tools and this site is a WP site, if that helps.

You can see it here:
http://royaloakshomesfl.com/robots.txt
So its in the webroot of your hosting. You can change it via FTP to and change it to the following to grant full access until you have figured out robot access rights. I think you need at least one Disallow: line without the / slash in your existing configuration to make it work.
User-agent: * Disallow: -
I would do as Lavellester suggest, then i would then i would re-submit as i can see you are not in either index.

When I search their brand name, they pop up in Google, so they must be indexed somehow, no?
-
nothing comes back when I run this
site:www.royaloakshomesfl.com
So looks like its not indexed

Ah, I see. Thanks!!
