About Jim Lark

Meet Jim Lark
One of my first visits to the Covington/Mandeville area of St. Tammany Parish was during my high school years. Having made many friends in the area that I am still in constant contact with, I continued to visit them. I just knew that someday I would live there. It is an extremely nice, comfortable community where you can enjoy the simpler things in life, such as fishing, golfing and raising a family.

After receiving my marketing degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in 1973, I decided to move to the Northshore. I absolutely love it here! The people are great and it's the perfect atmosphere for my wife, Jackie, and I to raise our two sons, Jeffrey and Brian. Whether it's going fishing, playing a round of golf, coaching little league baseball or simply watching my sons play in local sports, we love the Northshore area because it provides a great family atmosphere with an outdoors setting.

I've always enjoyed taking an interest in the people and activities of the community, because I find that I share a common ground with everyone I meet. They, too, want a comfortable environment in which to raise a family along with the career opportunities offered in the continually, fast growing area and the nearby City of New Orleans. My career as a real estate professional is extremely important to me because I'm working with families and helping them realize their own dreams in an area I treasure. 

With over 25 years of experience in sales including two decades in local real estate, I pride myself in maintaining a standard of quality and integrity that keeps my satisfied clients coming back and referring their family and friends. This area and the people here have given my family and me so much, it's only natural for me to want to help other families here achieve their real estate goals. They deserve the best possible service, and it's my number one priority to provide it to them.
Understanding the importance of your family's goals, my professional knowledge, experience and determination will help you and your family realize every one of your real estate dreams. That's why I work so hard for you.
