About Matt Lippon

 

I have called this area home for my entire life, I grew up and went to school in Spirit Lake and moved back to Okoboji after college.  I am a 2003 graduate of the University of Iowa with a degree in finance.  Before starting at RE/MAX, I worked at a local bank in several different areas of banking, this experience has become helpful to my real estate clients.

In 2006 I joined RE/MAX, essentially joining the family business with my parents and sister who taught me the business.  I am the only remaining Lippon team member actively selling real estate.  In 2014 I obtained my brokers license and I am licensed in Iowa and Minnesota.  I received Hall of Fame status from RE/MAX for my production over the years.

I am married with three daughters.  Outside of work I like to spend time with my kids and also enjoy golfing, fishing, hunting and following my favorite sports teams.

Spirit Lake Spillway

Spirit Lake Spillway in Big Spirit Lake

Spirit Lake Spillway

Looking for some entertainment with the kids on a nice summer weekend, come check out the Spillway. The Spillway connects Big Spirit Lake to East Lake Okoboji allowing overflow water to move from Big Spirit Lake to the chain of lakes. This helps keep water levels under control on Big Spirit.

Depending on the time of year you visit, you may see hundreds, if not thousands of fish, mostly carp swimming upstream, it’s a neat site to see.

While you are here, you can launch your boat for a day on the lake, or you can visit Orleans Beach next door. Or you can grab lunch at the Spillway Drive In.

The Okoboji School system and basketball program is really blessed to have such a great nucleus of coaches and a system in place designed to really build the children through team work and skill building. OYBA has put together a board and a mission that is really great for the kids and is designed to develop the kids to prepare them for High School Basketball.

Each winter, OYBA puts out teams ranging from 3rd grade up to 8th grade, both girls teams and boys teams.
I am one of the coaches for the 5th grade girls team, we have 24 kids out for basketball, for such a small class, those numbers are amazing.
We put together 3 traveling teams and each of our teams is signed up for 5 tournaments this winter season, the kids love it.

Matt is everything a realtor should be - perceptive, patient, persistent and utterly professional. My search for just the right house stretched over nearly 3 years and several different property options. Throughout Matt listened to my evolving requirements and presented me with excellent opportunities to see and consider varying properties and price points as well as sound advice and insights on the local real estate market. Once we settled on our house, he made himself readily available to help with our purchase after we'd returned to our home in Arizona. I can recommend him with absolute confidence

Matt did a great job finding my parents there dream home in the lakes area. Matt was patient and understanding about my parents particular needs, wants and expectations. Matt was not interested in finding just any home for my parents but the home they wanted. Matt helped them look at many many options and was diligent in his communication with us on new and upcoming listings. His email system was super helpful and easy to use. His knowledge of the lakes housing market is honest and accurate. We really enjoyed the experience we had with Matt. His knowledge, patients and honesty are second to none and I know that my parents would not hesitate to use Matt again.

Tom and I have worked with Matt for a couple of years trying to secure property in the Okoboji/Spirit Lake area. Although we have not found the property we want at this time we will continue to pursue our search with Matt Lippon. Matt is very knowledgeable of the real estate in the lakes area and has always shown us a varying degree of options. He is always willing to show property and takes his time to explain and offer his opinion of the property. When the time arises for us to move to the Okoboji/Spirit Lake area we know Matt will help make that transition.

“Working with Bertie was an absolute pleasure. I found her to be warm, pleasant, and honest. She is also a very knowledgeable realtor with many years of experience, and it shows in her work ethic. Bertie was very helpful to me and my family when answering any questions that I had or my family had about renting, buying, or selling. She also returned calls and emails in a timely matter and made herself available whenever we needed to reach out to her. There is no doubt in my mind that if you work with Bertie you will be anything less than pleased.” -Vanessa Zelaya, March 29, 2016

She was very knowledgeable and always dependable whenever we needed clarity. I'd recommend her to anyone who's looking to own or rent a home. She's very polite and professional, she's easy to talk to and not as intimidating as her counterparts.

Miss Bertie Ali-Cooke is an extremely knowledgeable person. She knows all the oranges like the back of her hand. She is always on time and very honest. Miss Bertie Ali-Cooke defiantly made this property buying experience a delight.

I would highly recommend Bertie Ali-Cooke to anyone looking for an agent that has a keen knowledge of her industry and that will provide the research and expertise needed in selecting the real estate properties to match your desires. We were searching for a property that would serve a multipurpose need. We required a building that would provide both office and transitional living space in addition to multiple storage units for our inventory. Ms. Ali-Cooke, within a week was able to identify a property that met our present and future needs. After a walk through, it became clear that the owner's asking price exceeded it true market value and we decided to continue our search. We were pleased with her attention to details such areas that would not meet code standards and would require a significant financial outlay to bring those areas into compliance. We were able to talk with the current tenants who shared their concerns. We always felt that Ms. Ali-Cooke was truly working in our best interest and we are looking forward to working with her as we continue our search. I would highly recommend Ms. Ali-Cooke to families we serve that has lost their homes to a fire.

Bertie took a challenging property on a challenging block a not only found a great buyer, but managed every aspect of the transaction from listing to post closing. With the perfect blend of professionalism and a friendly demeanor you can't help be drawn to, we' re already planning our next listing with her. A great find for a Realtor.

Berti is very knowledgeable and resourceful. I was all but ready to give up renting out my proprerty and she talked me off the ledge. Was very professional and gave me solid advice on what I needed to do. She guided me through the process and kept me on point. She made it the process of getting it rented seem easy. I will definitely work with Bertie again for my next real estate investment.

Very great agent, Communication skills are A+ when following up with buyer/seller & all involved to get the deal closed. Bertie sold a property for me that was listed & sold within 1 month. That's the fasted I've ever had a property sold. I will definitely be listing with Bertie & Jordan Baris to buy & sell properties in the future. This agent doesn't lack like some agents I've dealt with in the past that just list your property & forgets about it. If you want to get a property sold this is the person to see.
