About Aaron Jones

Thank you for checking out my profile.  My name is Aaron Jones and I am the Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Lakes Realty.  I specialize in lakeshore home sales on West Lake Okoboji, East Lake Okoboji, Big Spirit, Lake Minnewashta, Lower Gar Lake, and Upper Gar Lake.   Below you will find over 150 testimonials on Zillow.
I have been selling real estate since 2012. I am a lifelong resident of Lake Okoboji and my family has been in construction for about 60 years. I grew up in construction and understand construction costs, and this has helped me immensely in adding value for my clients. Prior to selling real estate, I managed a furniture manufacturing facility in Milford, IA. I learned a lot about lean manufacturing and have brought many of those concepts into our business here, mainly focused on efficient technologies in real estate. I have a great team of 24 agents that work together to find buyers for our clients. I have 2 incredible employees, and also have a technology business partner in India, and we have been developing real estate management and paperless transaction management solutions, along with our own proprietary electronic signature service (www.signfast.com and www.leadcity.com) and we use these solutions daily in our office. I have built 5 homes since I was 26, 4 of them being lake homes, and I invest everything I have in real estate. 
 
I’m very proud of our agents in so many ways, but the success is partially defined by the numbers. In 2020, our office closed more Dickinson county transactions than any other office, and in Dickinson county, we beat all other offices in Sales volume by over $20,000,000. We know how to market; we know how to treat people, and we know how to do the right thing, regardless of dollar signs. Lastly, since 2015, I have closed more transactions than any other agent in the MLS in Dickinson county, and I’m proud to say that I was #1 in sales volume in 2020 for the entire MLS. When you hire me to sell, you will get ethical, professional service with expertise in online marketing, social media marketing, and web lead generation, which will produce a buyer for your home.  When you hire me to buy, you will have someone in your corner that will find you that perfect home, even if that means sending out mailers or contacting owners through facebook to find you that special place.

Arnolds Park Amusement Park

Arnolds Park Amusement Park in 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 renovations in the last year. In front of the amusement park on West Lake is the Queen II excursion boat, and Pirate Jacks Bar. The sunsets here are unparalleled. If you have a chance to visit, make sure to check out the tipsy house, the three sons, and all of the shops. Just to the east is the green space, which provides great entertainment and in 2013 OAR came to play, which is a pretty big name for Okoboji.

Pike's Point State Park

Pike's Point State Park in West Lake Okoboji

Pike's Point is located at 15973 213th Ave, Spirit Lake, IA on beautiful West Lake Okoboji. It is one of the largest parks in the Iowa Great Lakes, and provides for all kinds of activities including fishing, swimming, bird watching etc. This park also has a rest room, and a beach. If coming by boat, one wants to be careful as the point extends far into the lake, and there is a warning buoy roughly 300 feet from the point of shore. In 2010, many trees here were uprooted because of some severe straight line winds during the storm that reaked havoc through the Iowa Great Lakes.

Testimonials

Aaron worked with us for over a year to help us find the place that fit our needs. Even though we became somewhat doubtful that we would find the "right" home, he was very encouraging and kept us apprised of new listings. His commitment meant a lot to us and it paid off in the end. It was a pleasure working with a professional.

In our recent real estate transactions with Aaron he has done a great job! Aaron is a very professional agent with very strong communication skills and much knowledge about the industry. Aaron has the skills to make transactions run smoothly and to keep his customers and clients happy and at ease. Overall working with Aaron has been a great pleasure

My husband and I had been looking for quite awhile for property, but either we couldn't agree on one, or it was way out of our price range. Tom contacted Aaron, he showed us this property - long story short, I had a meltdown (which Aaron endured quite graciously), took the next few days to look at the potential of the property as opposed to the present reality, and we decided to purchase it. Aaron was patient, he was kind, and we believe he worked hard for us to secure the property for a fair price and in a timely manner! Aaron answered all our questions, and even some we didn't know to ask, and was very professional the whole time. I hope he will return when the renovations are complete to see what can be done with a diamond in the rough!

Tom and Crystal Straub, VERY satisfied customers

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

Joe and Katie

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

Herman possesses a knowledge of the local market second to none. After discussing the market and housing trends we were able to list and sell within a weekend. I believe that was entirely due to Herman’s recommendations in staging the house, excellent photographer, and spot in pricing. My wife and I enjoyed Herman’s honest and accurate advice throughout the process. If we ever need to buy or sell a home I would definitely use Herman again!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I lucked out when we found Herman Holt during our search for a real estate agent. We combed through various websites for reviews before finding Herman. Our goal was to ensure that we found someone that would help us find the home of our dreams and provide us the honest feedback we would need to make a sound financial decision for the biggest purchase of our lives. Other satisfied home buyers highly recommended Herman as a 380 corridor expert and trusted confidant. Herman not only lived up to this description but he went above and beyond to help us buy our home. Herman helped us though every step of the process and he was willing to work with us 7 days a week if needed to make sure we secured our home. Thanks to Herman, buying a home was a smooth and relatively easy process. Although we have already closed on our home, Herman remains a resource and trusted adviser to us.

Herman is the best in the business I have been buying and selling houses in DFW for over 20 years and I have never had someone so detailed, informative, professional and results driven. He got more then I was asking for my house and sold it within a week. I will never use another realtor.

After another realtor failed to sell my home, Herman sold it in one weekend! He is extremely knowledgeable and strategic. I definitely recommend using Herman.

Mr. Holt is a great realtor! He is very knowledgeable, and takes the time to educate his clients. He keeps his clients best interests at heart during each phase of the process. Mr. Holt helped to make the transaction of both buying and selling a home extremely smooth. I don't plan on moving anytime soon, but if I needed a realtor again, he would definitely be the first person I call!

When we contacted Herman, he came to our house ready to answer our questions about staying at our house or move to another one. He helped us sale the house and also found our new home, he was there when we needed him and helped us through out the transition. If you are planning of buying or selling your house he is the person to contact. You will not only find a Realtor but a friendship.
