KRISTEN and JON KENNON

Kristen and Jon Kennon are the owners of iRealty Arkansas and consider themselves serial entrepreneurs. Their firm, iRealty Arkansas, is 10 years old, and has sold more than $2 billion in real estate. It is a part of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World because of its high market share in central Arkansas and is the No. 1 independent real estate company in the region.

Jon and Kristen own single family rentals, short-term rentals, commercial retail centers and are currently working on a development in southwest Little Rock. They teach their agents about building wealth through real estate and love helping others invest in real estate.

We already started that last fall and then continued the program. Jon is on the LRRA board of directors and has ownership in multiple businesses throughout central Arkansas.

Kristen graduated from Henderson State with a B.S. and M.S. in Sports Administration and was the director of parks and recreation for the City of Jacksonville for eight years before taking the leap into real estate. Jon graduated from UCA with a B.S. in Business Administration and worked his way up through Boyd Metals, leaving as the corporate sales manager to join Kristen full-time to help run this quickly growing business.
