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.

"The Tressle"

"The Tressle" bridge used to carry the old railroad that traversed the area. Now the tressle is home to some of the areas best fishing. Served as a hot spot for fisherman, and a trail for walkers and bikers, the tressle is a classic structure of the Okobojis. We spent days jumping off of the tressle doing cannonballs, preachers, flips and the like. I know in my life my friends and I have caught literally tens of thousands of crappie and blue gill off the tressle bridge.

"The Harbor"

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"

"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 with my cousin and I casted out trying to reach the opposite corner of the bridge with my lure. In mid air, a pigeon flew and the timing was so great that my line wrapped around the pigeon, and the pigeon went into the water. I reeled it up and had caught a pigeon. My cousin then decided to hold this pigeon inside the front of his coat. We went to show people at Okoboji Boats what we had caught. When we got there, he opened his jacket, and the pigeon had pooped all over his white shirt.

Aaron and his staff did an excellent job from the beginning of the process to closing! He was there for us when we needed access to the home, which allowed us to make sure this place was the right fit. He and his staff worked hard to move up the closing date so we would have more time to move in before our wedding. A "big thanks" to Aaron and his staff for a job well done!

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.

Herman is a hands on and easily accessible agent. He sold our house before it hit the market and above asking. Would highly recommend working with Herman.

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.

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, look no further than Herman Holt! Herman is an impeccable realtor who is well-versed in realty, is GREAT with communication, has tremendous marketing techniques, and best of all, knows how to get the job done! We could not have had a better experience with Herman. He made a very stressful situation, stress-free, which is quite hard to believe. For all your realty needs, contact Herman Holt! Thank you, Herman, for everything!

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.

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!
