Jim Ard, REALTOR® – Serving Lawton Since 2016

I have been a real estate agent in Lawton, OK, since 2016. I was born right here in Lawton, and I absolutely love this community. If you want a knowledgeable REALTOR® with a passion for getting deals done, I may be the perfect fit for you.

Read on to learn more about who I am and how I can promote your real estate goals.

Why I Became a Real Estate Agent

Becoming a REALTOR® felt like a natural progression for my career. I have a servant's heart and a drive for getting to the "yes." Real estate gave me a platform to help others, support my family, and utilize my extensive negotiation skills.

I earned my political science degree back in '95 with minors in business and social psychology. I don't use the political science part much these days, but business and psychology are fundamental for real estate transactions. I am a business owner, and I've built multiple buildings from the ground up. My work as a real estate agent marries all my life experiences in a rewarding way.

Why I Chose to Work at Parks Jones Realty

From the moment I stepped foot into the Parks Jones office, I felt right at home. The family atmosphere and supportive staff are unparalleled. Most real estate agencies are filled with cutthroat coworkers looking to tear each other down. Around here, we build each other up.

I use that same encouraging energy to empower my clients. I want you to feel confident about your decision, whether you're listing a house for sale or making an offer on your forever home. I chose to hang my hat at one of the longest-running real estate brokerages in Lawton, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

A Personalized Approach to Buying and Selling Homes

I'm what you might call a "low-volume" real estate agent. I am intentional about the clients I work with and how much I put on my plate. Instead of filling my phone with every person imaginable, I focus on one or two clients each month. This ensures that they receive my undivided attention and get the optimal outcome from their deal.

Hobbies, Passions, and Personal Life

My beautiful wife, Kindra, and I have been married for 27 years. We have two sons, Ryan and Kyle, who are now firmly in their 20's. I joke that I became a real estate agent to feed the two teen boys I had at home. They're still there, so I'm still selling houses!

In my spare time, I enjoy watching college football, hunting, and hanging out with my two dogs. I own a sandwich shop and mini-storage in Frederick, OK, and I am an active leader in my local church.
