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

"The Tressle"
East Lake Okoboji
"The Tressle" bridge used to carry the old railroad that traversed the area. Now the tressle is home to some of the areas best fishing. Served as a hot spot for fisherman, and a trail for walkers and bikers, the tressle is a classic structure of the Okobojis. We spent days jumping off of the tressle doing cannonballs, preachers, flips and the like. I know in my life my friends and I have caught literally tens of thousands of crappie and blue gill off the tressle bridge. More Info

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.

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

Beware the (I'll get your home sold in a week) agent
The "Real" Estate Blog
I hear this one all the time from prospects looking to list their house. "Well, agent xyz told us that if we listed with her, she'd have it sold in a week." This would fall into the category of "If it sounds too good to be true, the probably is." The majority of agents are not going to make this claim, but rather will give you an honest market analysis, inform you as to how weak or strong the market is, especially the market in which your home resides, and present the objective facts. A good agent will then lay out an effective marketing plan, where the majority of the focus should be... More Info

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

"The Harbor"
West Lake Okoboji
The harbor is a man made inlet located on the north end of West Lake. A board walk surrounds the harbor and this is one of the most tranquil parts of the lake. Homeowners in the harbor have a more affordable way to have access to West Lake, and still get to enjoy the clean waters West Lake has to offer. Homes in the Harbor typically range from about $350k to as much as $700k.

Miller's Bay, on the west side of West Lake is a popular spot for boaters in the summer to just go chill out, throw an anchor, and relax.

The economic collapse had caused great challenges in selling my lake home. My home on East Lake had been on the market for nearly 4 years when Aaron Jones took over the listing. He was able to close a sale on the home within a few months. I believe Aaron's knowledge of the market, excellent communications skills,and passion for the lakes community and clientele set him apart. The experience he provided for both myself and the buyer was exceptional. If you need a realtor in the Lakes region I would highly recommend Aaron Jones.

Our transaction with Boji Remax went very smoothly despite the fact that we live in the Des Moines area and the sellers lived in the Sioux Falls area. Aaron did a great job working with our schedule for home viewing opportunities and then kept us connected through the purchase process even though we were a few hours away. Everything considered, Aaron was extremely helpful with our first lake cabin purchase and the process went as well as we could have expected

The home buying process can be extremely stressful and time consuming. Aaron always got right back to us or answered our calls. He was an excellent source of information and had wonderful resources and contacts to help us through the entire process. He always reassured us that everything was on the right track. He is very knowledgable, genuine and trustworthy. We would reccomend him to anyone looking at property in Okoboji

We would very much recommend Aaron Jones as your REMAX Realtor. He was the very first person we met when we moved to Spirit Lake, and he immediately made us feel welcome and immediately went to work for us. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to help us find our home. He was so kind and patient during a very stressful time. He went above and beyond to be available and to answer our questions. He was honest, forthright, and professional. He even gave us advice when we asked, on selling our house where we previously lived. Thank you again Aaron for being so kind and for helping us to find our new home! We so appreciate all you did for us

I appreciate what you are doing. I purchased a house without a realtor the other day, and I am lost, so I REALLY value what you are doing.
