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

Here's the scenario. You are building a house or remodeling your house. Material costs are up. Labor costs are up. You ask yourself, where can I save a buck? Before answering this question, you must be careful, especially if your home is located in an area where other quality homes are built, whether on the lake, off the lake, or in higher valued developments such as golf course developments, etc. Growing up in construction and with a plethora of new construction and remodels under my belt, let me share with you some of the easy things that your future buyers will recognize when they...

"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.

"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

"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

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

We provided quite a challenge for Aaron, because we were searching for a home while living hundreds of miles away, plus our home took several months to sell. But Aaron stayed in contact with us, providing information about new listings and providing tips that helped us sell our home. When we were ready to make our move, Aaron was there every step of the way. He helped us find the right house, the right banker, the right insurance agent making for a smooth and swift transition.

Aaron was very professional in all respects. I would use him again without question. As a transaction came to a close there was some question about patio furniture. Aaron personally picked up some of the expense to ensure the smooth transition.
