One of the most important decisions you will make while buying, selling, or investing in real estate, is deciding on who you will entrust to be your agent.

For many years of my life, I managed a variety of different businesses, from real estate, manufacturing, consulting, and service industries. During this time, I've learned just how important service, aggressiveness, and new marketing methods are for any business, especially the real estate industry. Equally as important, it's key to surround yourself with a great team and exceptional talent, which is why I'm with Remax. We have the best real estate brand in the world and the finest team of real estate professionals in the Iowa Great Lakes. I've lived around Lake Okoboji my entire life, and understand the local markets thoroughly.

I graduated from Buena Vista University Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Business Management. I enjoy all sports, especially golf, basketball, and football.

Did you know that one of the biggest complaints regarding the real estate industry is "lack of feedback to the client?" I have been on that end too. As my client, you will get feedback when you want it, and as often as you want it, plain and simple.

Folks, real estate has changed tremendously in the last decade. Whether you are a buyer or seller, let me show you some examples of my expertise in online marketing, and how this adds tremendous value to you.

I am confident that you will find working with me and our RE/MAX team a refreshing change. We truly understand the challenges our clients face and the service and commitment you deserve. Rest assured that you will always come first and that you will receive Exceptional Service, Peace of Mind

Personal Insights

Haywards Bay
West Lake Okoboji
Haywards Bay on West Lake Okoboji boasts low approaches and one of the few areas on West Lake to offer sand beaches. Renowned for the "bay of the flags", you will know you are in Haywards bay because of the all the American flags on the end of the docks. Fishing is great in Haywards Bay and the sunsets are one in a million. To get to Haywards Bay by car, one would drive the east side of the lake on Lakeshore Dr. More Info

Bridges Bay Resort
East Lake Okoboji
Bridges Bay Resort is built on the land purchased a few years prior which used to be owned by the Nielsen family of Arnolds Park. This huge complex consists of a hotel, 3 condo buildings (a 4th is under construction), and over 100 vacation cabins. A popular part of the resort is the indoor waterpark that cabin and condo owners have access to, but also, so does the public for a fee. Braccos is a fantastic summertime restaurant and bar which is frequented by boat, by car, and by foot, especially from the owners of the condos and cabins. All of the units at Bridges Bay have an opportunity... More Info

Emerald Hills
Arnolds Park
Emerald Hills Golf Course is one of the premier golf courses in the Iowa Great Lakes. Golfers throughout Okoboji will tell you that compared to the rest of the golf courses around, Emerald Hills is probably the most challenging. When I grew up as a kid, we lived just a half block from the back side of the course. We would sneak on with a couple short little clubs and balls we found walking the course and sometimes spent more time being chased by the sprinklers than trying to hit golf balls. Emerald Hills was owned by Gordy and Bette Benit many years ago and they can be credited with... More Info

"The Bridge"
West Lake Okoboji
"The Bridge" has been referred to by the Wharf Bridge, the Kentucky Fried Chicken Bridge, the bridge connecting East and West, among other names. In the good old days, this was actually a draw bridge converted to the current permanent structure. In the 90's when the 3 lane was installed, there was talk about removing the bridge and making some drastic changes. All in all, the base of the bridge remained, and the upper structure was improved. I remember as a kid jumping off the bridge, and fishing on and under the bridge. In fact, an unforgettable memory I have is when I was fishing... More Info

"Turn-Over" Thermocline
West Lake Okoboji
Referred to locally as the lake turning over the thermocline is a feature of lakes with deep water. The water on the top of the lake changes temperature much more variably during the year. On West Lake, it can reach as much as 75 degrees in July while the water below, greater than 35 or 40 feet deep is relatively stable around 45 degrees. In the fall and early winter, the top strata of the lake will cool to below 45 degrees, and then because it becomes denser, it will "sink" below the lower strata, thus, displacing it and making the lake "turn-over". In the deepest part of West Lake... More Info

Brooks Golf Course
Okoboji
Brooks Golf Club is one of the premier golf courses in the Iowa Great Lakes. Located in Okoboji, Iowa, Brooks is one of the few 27 hole golf courses in Iowa. I've personally been a member here for a number of years, and can tell you that not other course offers the beauty and upkeep that Brooks provides. The numerous flower beds, Caribbean beach like bunkers, bent grass fairways, natural prairie grass, and rolling hills provide for an aesthetic pleasure as you play all 27 holes. Brooks also has one of the nicest practice facilities in the state as well. Come say hi to John, Bret and... More Info

The Family Diner
Spirit Lake
The Family Diner is Spirit Lake, IA is a local favorite! They offer up a large portion for small money, but whether you come early or late you may be in for a wait. With homemade bread and the largest sausage patty you have seen, The Family Diner is consistently delicious. They are open only for breakfast and lunch and closed two days a week. In my former career at Stylecraft, the family diner was definately a favorite when our friends would visit from North Carolina. They were always inpressed with the bread and rolls and corn beef hash.

Arnolds Park Amusement Park
Arnolds Park
Having lived in Okoboji all my life, there are a wealth of memories of Arnolds Park. I, like many of the locals, miss the nostalgia of the old Roof Garden, the fun house, the water slide and much, much more. With time comes change, and the amusement park continues to reinvent itself. Currently with over 20 rides to choose from, the family is sure to have a good time. The main attraction, The Legend Roller Coaster, is the 7th oldest coaster in the United States and apparently the 13th oldest in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 50 mph, the roller coaster has undergone substantial... More Info

Okoboji Boat Works
West Lake Okoboji
Okoboji Boat Works is home to "The Fish Shack" and "The Inconvenience Store". Formerly a marina of thriving boat sales since 1890, OBW now offers up many different rentals, a 24 hour gas dock, excursion boats, and more. I remember the days as a child of fishing for crappie and blue gill here and along the docks of Smith's Bay. Though the scenery has changed, the outstanding fishing has not. More Info

As a first time home buyer he was so helpful with answering any and all questions I asked. He always had really good advice from where to even start and what was best to do, and he was always so polite. I would not have even known where to start without his help.

We are first time home buyers and Aaron was helpful throughout the whole process- beginning to end! He answered any questions we had, didn't push for the bigger buy, and gave us his honest opinions of the homes we looked at. He ensured we spoke with our landlord before moving forward. Aaron was even there for us when he was out of town. Great guy to work with!!!

Aaron did a great job assisting us with the purchase of our Lake home. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the market to purchase a new home. He was very detail oriented throughout the entire process and helped keep things on track. Thanks again Aaron

Aaron worked so fast and efficiently to close on the house for us. His office staff, (Beth you are the best) is also amazing and they went above and beyond to answer questions and do some legwork since we are out of state buyers. I will not hesitate to use Aaron and his team for future transactions in the Lakes area. Thank you!
