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 Three Sons
Milford
Founded in 1960, the Three Sons has been a staple of Milford, IA retail. From Herman and Emil Richter, owners, was born the University of Okoboji, a ficticious university that calls the entire Iowa Great Lakes the campus of the U of O. Part of the experience of shopping the three sons, if walking the old battered floors, and taking a trip upstairs for half price, plus a buck. Brands you would expect in Milford Iowa are abundant, such as Patagonia, Oakley, Under Armour, Tommy Bahama, and more. There are currently 2 other stores; one at the amusement park, and another near the Regal... 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 "Real" Estate Blog
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?

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

Miller's Bay
West Lake Okoboji
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. On the weekends, this bay is filled with boats tied up to each other offering families the opportunity to have the kids swim, or you might find a bunch of party animals chugging beers and enjoying the summer sun. Either way, everyone is having a great time, and so if you are out and about, just know that Millers Bay is where boaters go in the summer to be where the party is at. 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.

"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

As a first time home buyer, Aaron was great as a local resource in finding a home. He was instrumental in helping us get a great price on our new home as well as helping us through the buying process. We highly recommend Aaron when looking to purchase a home.

Aaron was very patient with us as we looked at lakeside property in the East Okoboji Lake area and then changed our minds to find something off the lake. Always prompt in responding to our requests to view properties. He helped us through a roof matter on the house we ended up purchasing. We felt the process went very well from beginning to end.

We have bought and sold 4 houses over the years. Buying and Selling a house can be a frustrating experience with many ups/downs along the way. Not to mention the emotional part that can be experienced throughout the process. We found Aaron to be: a good listener and ask questions to understand our needs, did a nice job of helping us put everything into perspective when those unexpected things came up throughout the process which his insight and/or suggestions on how to move forward were very helpful, his understanding of the process and what needs to be done by when helped to make the experience less stressful and completed in a timely manner too.
