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

"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

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

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 West Lake "Tie Up"
West Lake Okoboji
For most leisure boaters in the Iowa Great Lakes, there are 2 main hot spots to go throw an anchor, sit back, and just relax. Sometimes this will result in numerous boats tying up to one another (you may not even know your neighbor), and sometimes it results in a little more privacy where you can chill just by yourself. Every weekend, boaters make the trek across the deepest parts of West Lake to either Gull Point (North AND South side) and Miller's Bay. Thought there are many other great areas to throw an anchor, relax, and swim, these are the two hot spots. If you aren't sure where to... More Info

"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

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

Aaron Jones is simply the best in the business. In 2013 we made the decision to sell our home and at the same time by another and because of the personal relationship we had with Aaron, we chose him to be our realtor. It was an excellent decision - our house sold in a week and he helped us get into our new house without having to move to an interim house. In 2018 we made the decision to sell our house again and without hesitation we chose Aaron again. His ability to communicate with us promptly and professionally was outstanding. He always had time for us no matter how many times we called him with questions. His advice and insight was terrific and even though we are moving out of the area, we would use Aaron again - without hesitation - for all of our real estate needs in the area. I recommend him to any of my friends/family/co-workers that are looking for a realtor. He is simply the best.
