She also likes the company’s one-stop shop premise which covers everything from mortgage, title, insurance, and rentals.
Ard was born and raised in Jacksonville and says of her latest promotion: “I’m excited to start this new adventure with Watson, supporting the advancement of the Nocatee office and the agents in their success.” In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, her dog, two turtles, fish, and rabbit.
