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.

Beware the (I'll get your home sold in a week) agent

Beware the (I'll get your home sold in a week) agent in The

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.

Emerald Hills

Emerald Hills in 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 growing this course into the masterpiece it has become. Later purchased by Randy Rohlfsen and a few others, Emerald has flourished as one of the best courses around. If memory serves me right, Randy has been there since the early 1990's and has always had a strong conviction to help young golfers. He has taught and coached numerous high school teams, and they also put on a 5 day junior camp every year which has been a tremendous hit. I grew up on this course and can honestly say, you better be hitting the ball straight!

"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.

Solid, honest, timely advice as to market, price and deal opportunities. I would recommend Aaron to anyone interested in buying or selling residential or commercial property in the Iowa Great Lakes area.

Aaron was very professional and was willing to be available for us at odd times given we do not live in the area to see open houses. He also was very involved after the offer was accepted and until the sale was final on every step in the process to ensure it was a smooth transaction.

Aaron really listened to our wants and needs in our search for a lake home. He communicated in every step of the way. We always knew if we called him he would get back to us immediately. We felt that he was always looking out for our best interest. We would not hesitate to use Aaron again.

Aaron made the normally stressful process of selling and buying a house very easy and straightforward. He was very knowledgeable and ALWAYS available to answer any of our questions. The electronic signature system in place made things very efficient. Our experience with RE/MAX was amazing and customer service was impeccable.

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.

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!
