ABOUT
My goal is straightforward – to help serious business owners generate more clients!
Tim Lockhart, is a Business & Financial Strategist, Retired Air Force Civil Engineer Officer, and REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty. He is a 6th generation Texan, grew up in Arlington TX, and after having served 20 years as an Air Force Civil Engineering officer and managing over $1 Billion in facility construction and renovation projects, he retired in 2013.
Tim was inspired to become an entrepreneur by watching his grandfather who owned a bottling plant in San Antonio, Texas distributing Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Frosty Root Beer, and Crush drinks. He grew up with cases of drinks and his favorite was Grape Crush. His grandfather also owned Western Aero, an aircraft parts supply store at the San Antonio airport. This planted the entrepreneurial bug in Tim; however, he had a challenge. As a child, Tim stuttered horribly. If you hear him speak publicly today, he often recounts the story of how he was not able to even answer the phone when he was in elementary and junior high school. How could he become and entrepreneur if he could not speak on the phone?
Interested in creating and building, yet not ready to go out on his own as an entrepreneur yet, Tim decided to attend the University of Texas at Arlington and study Mechanical Engineering. During his studies, he entered the Air Force ROTC program, and upon graduation obtained his commission as a Civil Engineering officer in 1993. During his career he deployed several times to the Middle East and was stationed in Germany, Iceland, and several locations in the United States.
The experience, work ethic and leadership gained in the Air Force propelled him in only 4 years to build a real estate business ranking in the top 20% of agents worldwide, while outperforming the market by 28%, selling his seller’s homes 27% faster. He now uses that knowledge to help entrepreneurs grow and accelerate their profits.
Tim was raised in Arlington, Texas son of Joe and Susan Lockhart with his sister Linda. Tim is a 6th generation Texan, a descendant of Charles Lockhart who settled near Gonzales, Texas as part of the Dewitt Colony, and is a U.S. Air Force Veteran. As a child, Tim had aspirations of being an entrepreneur. Never in a million years did he think he’d stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life.
Tim was taught at a young age that if you want something in life, you have to work for it. So that’s what he did. And he worked hard.
