One of the most important decisions you will make while buying, selling, or investing in real estate, is deciding on who you will entrust to be your agent.
For many years of my life, I managed a variety of different businesses. During this time, I've learned just how important service, aggressiveness, and new marketing methods are for any business, especially the real estate industry. In fact, I co-founded a software development company in 2011 (leadcity.com & signfast.com), and we are finally launching our real estate management software and electronic and digital signature solutions in the 2nd quarter of 2023.
One thing I've learned is that it's key to surround yourself with a great team and exceptional talent, which is why I'm with RE/MAX Lakes Realty. We have the best real estate brand in the world and the finest team of real estate professionals in the Iowa Great Lakes. Also, I've lived around Lake Okoboji my entire life, and understand the local markets thoroughly.
In 2014, I purchased the local RE/MAX Office and REMAX Lakes Realty has been #1 in sales in Dickinson County ever since; in fact I was also the #1 agent in sales in 2020 and 2021, and very close in 2022. In the fall of 2022, my wife and I had our first child together and I decided to take a step back and sold our office to RE/MAX Concepts out of Des Moines, IA. They are a fantastic company that can offer our agents so much more than I ever could.
But that doesn't mean I'm going anywhere. In the Spring of 2023, I decided to form a team, which we have named the BojiHomes.com Team @ RE/MAX Lakes Realty | Aaron Jones & Associates. Being with RE/MAX has been the best decision I ever made starting from day 1 as an agent.
My wife Brooke has her own team here at RE/MAX Lakes Realty, and our new addition to the family, Emersyn Sophia Jones will be an Okoboji Lake girl. Okoboji is quite simply a great place to raise a family. I have an older daughter Alexis that is in the nursing profession in Des Moines.
Working with buyers and sellers to list and sell homes in Okoboji and the surrounding area is just an incredible passion of mine. We only recruit team members to the BojiHomes.com Team that share that same passion. I am confident that you will find working with me and our BojiHomes.com team a refreshing change. We truly understand the challenges our clients face buying and selling homes in the Okoboji market, and we will be your experts to guide the way. Rest assured that you will always come first and that you will receive Exceptional Service and Peace of Mind.

Arrowood Resort
Arrowood is a year-round conference center and hotel with over 100 guest rooms, whirlpool suites and a "Great Room" for hosting group events and hospitality suites. Formerly known as Village East, the resort offers an outdoor pool, deck, playground, volleyball and croquet courts and a heated indoor pool area. Hotel goers can also enjoy an on-site salon, Minervas Bar and Eatery and lit parking. Located on Brooks National Golf Course, Arrowwood Resort offers some of the finest lodging around. Years ago, Brooks Golf Course clubhouse was actually housed on the rear side of Arrowood, but since then, the course has been converted to 27 holes with a a new separate clubhouse. Also, the Racquet Club was a part of the facility, offering workout facilities, racquet ball, and tennis. However, with the addition of the YMCA, the racquet club was unsustainable and converted into retail.
Taco House
One of a kind Authentic Mexican Cuisine right here in West Okoboji! A local favorite and rated five stars by visitors young and old. Be sure to put this as a favorite on your list of places to not miss when you are vacationing in the Lakes area. Close to Terrace Park so if you are feeling up for a small walk you may walk from Terrace Park to the Taco House.
"Turn-Over" Thermocline
Referred to locally as the lake turning over the thermocline is a feature of lakes with deep water. The water on the top of the lake changes temperature much more variably during the year. On West Lake, it can reach as much as 75 degrees in July while the water below, greater than 35 or 40 feet deep is relatively stable around 45 degrees. In the fall and early winter, the top strata of the lake will cool to below 45 degrees, and then because it becomes denser, it will "sink" below the lower strata, thus, displacing it and making the lake "turn-over". In the deepest part of West Lake (near the 136ft mark), no light is availble, and hence little life is known whether fish or plant. Typically questions are raised as to why the surface water gets dirty for a short period of time in the fall, this this is the standard answer.
