Real Estate and MLS Homes For Sale in Lakes Agent Insight Description of East Lake Rush Lake in the Lake Section of the Area Category.
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? 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 are looking for quality.
1. One of the first things buyers of higher end homes will look for is to determine if the owner used hollow core doors. It's an immediate sign that the seller was looking for ways to save money (where else then did they cut back that I can't see???)
2. The second most obvious is the counter tops. Did the sellers spend for a quality granite, quartz, or other hard surface, or was formica used?
3. The third item that might stick out is the cabinetry. Do the drawers have dovetail construction with hardwoods? Did they use "soft close" drawers? Are there pull outs for the pots and pans?
4. Flooring is an easy one also. Was laminate used, or is it engineered or hardwoods? Does the carpet convey a quality feel and plushness? Is there a nice thick pad underneath the carpet?
5. Though there are many other items to look at, cheap vs quality lighting and plumbing fixtures are probably the next major focus.
There is nothing wrong with with using lower cost materials, especially when trying to keep a project within budget, especially when trying to build more house for less money. Just be aware that most buyers looking to spend in excess of $300k for off lake homes and $500+ for East Lake chain homes, and $1M+ for West and Big Spirit will expect the very best materials and finishes.
I hear this one all the time from prospects looking to list their house. "Well, agent xyz told us that if we listed with her, she'd have it sold in a week." This would fall into the category of "If it sounds too good to be true, the probably is." The majority of agents are not going to make this claim, but rather will give you an honest market analysis, inform you as to how weak or strong the market is, especially the market in which your home resides, and present the objective facts. A good agent will then lay out an effective marketing plan, where the majority of the focus should be on "online marketing". Be careful to not get caught up in empty promises, reduced commissions, and being talked in to lowering your price below market value (unless you must have a quick sale). The key to choosing a good listing agent is to objectively determine who is going to provide you the best opportunity to sell your home. Will your listing agent also aggressively work to find buyers, or will they just list your home and wait for another agent to do the work.

Terrace Park is located in Brown's Bay on West Lake, Okoboji. It is one of the largest public beaches on West Lake and has entertained beach goers for many years. Next to Terrace Park is Boys Town out of Omaha, Nebraska. I remember as a kid spending entire days at terrace park, either riding bicycle or taking a moped (yes a moped) down to meet with friends and playing king on the dock. In 2010, the morning after "the storm", Terrace Park was carnage. Boat were stacked on top of each other. Trees were uprooted, and hoists were tossed around. Boats and other water craft were found in Terrace Park that belonged to owners on the North end of West Lake.

Aaron was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was willing to work around our schedule and answered all communication promptly! He was an asset in our purchase.
Aaron and Kymm were an incredible asset to selling our home. They came and did a thorough walk-through and provided us with realistic tips to stage and prep the house, as well as an honest value and listing price. They were upfront about their commissions (which were very reasonable) and answered every question we had about the process. They provided us with ample time to prepare for showings, and kept us in the loop about comments potential buyers made so we could adjust staging and consider offers seriously. When it came time to negotiate with a buyer, they provided clear, easy to understand explanations of the legal details and were genuinely interested in facilitating the sale with us in mind first
We have had great success over the years with Aaron on helping us not only sell our house but purchasing a new house as well. He has been a long time resident in the Okoboji area and really has the knowledge to help you find what you are really looking for. Our last house we purchased with him it was a great experience we totally put 100 percent of our trust in him and we couldn't be any happier with the results! Aaron is a very hard worker and 100 percent committed to his clients.. So in the future when you are looking for a realtor and want things to go smooth please call Aaron Jones with RE/MAX you wont be disappointed.
Aaron was very helpful in our pursuit of a new home. He went the extra mile finding us a home that was not even listed on the market. He also was able to sell our existing home in a week.
Aaron helped us purchase the vacation property of our dreams. His attention to detail and quick response time made the purchase seamless and worry free. Due to Aaron's efficiency our transaction was completed in a very short time frame. THANKS A MILLION
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!

Aaron Jones has gone above and beyond. He's always available to answer questions and show properties. He helped us find a licensed inspector. Would recommend him and his team any day!
Aaron Jones was a professional, caring and knowledgeable realtor. My sale was quick, smooth and done with amazing communication. I would highly recommend Aaron as your next realtor.
Aaron was great to work with on a commercial land deal. Highly recommend his team! Aaron helped this sale on both the buyer and seller side and did a great job. We are extremely happy to have located this land for our project.
We recently purchased a million dollar condo at Okoboji, and we are incredibly grateful that we had Aaron as our agent. From the first conversation to the day we closed, he was everything you’d hope for in a real estate professional. Aaron is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and truly understands the Okoboji market inside and out. He guided us through every detail, kept us informed, and made what could have been a stressful, high-dollar transaction feel smooth and easy. His communication, professionalism, and follow-through were outstanding the entire way through. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cares about his clients. Even after closing, Aaron has continued to check in and make sure everything is going well, something you don’t always see in real estate today. We absolutely love our condo, and we’re thankful for the exceptional service Aaron provided. If you’re buying or selling around the lakes, you won’t find a better agent. Highly recommended.
Shout out to Aaron Jones for patiently helping us search for and find a home in the Iowa Lakes area that met our desires. Being from out of state, our ability to see every house in-person wasn't always possible. Aaron graciously provided video walk-throughs for us, offered expertise and local knowledge. When we were in town, he was quick to respond to our requests, lining up home tours in short notice (even during holidays) to accommodate our timelines. Aaron helped us navigate the process from start to finish!
Aaron Jones was great to work with. We have sold 2 properties with him now - he knows the market well and was able to move our homes quickly! With us not living locally, he was very helpful in taking care of things to help the process run smoothly for us.
We had the pleasure of working with Aaron (and Beth too!) to not only sell our property but to also buy our dream home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, they both demonstrated professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a commitment to getting us the best possible outcome.They guided us through every step of the process—from preparing the home for listing, to strategic pricing, to setting up a showing - the first showing sold! :*) Aaron also helped us in finding our dream home - setting up times for us to look at the home and helping us to negotiate a fair price. The communication was prompt, clear, and always reassuring. It was clear he had our best interests at heart and was truly invested in making the process as smooth and successful as possible.Thanks to their expertise and hard work, we sold our property quickly and at a price that met our expectations and we were then able to buy our new home! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell—this was a top-tier experience from start to finish.Thank you again, Aaron and Beth, for everything! We appreciate your top-notch service! :*) ~Brent and Lynn~
People buying in Okoboji are all looking for something different to fit their own needs and their own visions. Aaron not only knows the Iowa Great Lakes like the back of his hand, but we he took the time to really understand the intricacies of what we were looking for and bring our best options to the forefront with maximum efficiency. We’re thrilled with our new condo, and would highly recommend Aaron and his team for their specific real estate needs as well.
I recently purchased a home with the help of Aaron Jones, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Aaron was consistently professional, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!
We recently purchased a Condo up in the Okoboji area with the help of Aaron, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Aaron is extremely familiar with the region, and during the process, he made everything went smooth and stress-free, especially since we were purchasing from outside the region.Would easily use him again, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!
