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

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 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 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

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.

"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

Aaron proved to be the difference between us finding a house and not finding a house. Being completely new to the area we had no idea where to look or what to look for, Aaron helped us to zero-in on the house we wanted for the amount of money we wanted to spend. I highly recommend Aaron

Aaron is a very upfront, and honest. He was very thorough on making sure we understood on what the next step was when buying our home. There was no surprises at the end. We enjoyed working with him.

We first met Aaron Jones in 2012 when we moved to Spirit Lake. We came across him on the Remax/Lakes Realty, then BojiRemax, website when we were looking to buy a house. He has been our realtor and friend ever since. He helped us to buy our first house in the lakes area, and recently helped us to resell the house and to buy a new one. We were looking to downsize and had some specific requests, in which Aaron was very patient and understanding with us when it came to finding a house. And he sold our previous house in less than 1 week! He is always very professional, positive and knowledgeable about real estate. We would highly recommend Aaron for future home buying or selling!

We sold our home without a realtor then purchased our next home using Aaron Jones. I must say I don't think we will ever sell a home on our own again! The negotiations without using a realtor were much more personal and therefore more difficult. Working with Aaron was nearly effortless on our part. He took care of everything. Thank you Aaron for making our home purchase so seamless.

As a first time buyer in the lakes area I found Aaron to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He was professional on the phone, and when we decided to visit on short notice he re-arranged his schedule to be able to meet us on our time frame. We feel he helped find the right property for us, and at the right price.
