About Taylor Ard
Taylor Ard has spent his career helping Floridians get into homes, whether that's a first purchase, a refinance, or an investment property that finally pencils out. Based in Lakeland with offices in downtown Lakeland and Winter Haven, Taylor works with buyers across the entire state of Florida. His clients tend to fall into a few groups. First time homebuyers who feel like the process is confusing and want someone to walk them through it in plain language. Self employed borrowers who worry their tax returns won't tell the full story of what they can afford. Real estate investors trying to grow a portfolio without draining their cash reserves. And realtors who want a loan officer who picks up the phone, closes on time, and makes them look good in front of their clients. Taylor's approach is simple. Listen first, explain clearly, and never make a borrower feel rushed or talked down to. He believes a mortgage should feel like a decision you made with confidence, not one that was made for you. Outside the office, Taylor is a Lakeland local through and through. He and his wife, Taylor, who owns and runs a boutique in downtown Lakeland, are raising three kids and one very energetic mini goldendoodle. When he's not working with clients, you'll often find him playing music, whether that's at church or at events around Central Florida. If you're thinking about buying, refinancing, or just want a second opinion on your numbers, Taylor is glad to talk it through with you.
