ABR | SRS, RE/MAX Hall of Fame & Lifetime Achievem
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.
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 proud to be Broker/Owner at RE/MAX Lakes Realty. We have the best real estate brand in the world and the finest team of REALTORS and employees 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 have been the #1 agent in sales production cumulatively since 2017. In the fall of 2022, my wife and I had our first child together and expecting another.
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.
Working with buyers and sellers to list and sell homes in Okoboji and the surrounding area is just an incredible passion of mine. I am confident that you will enjoy working with myself or any of our outstanding agents. 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. Work Hard. Do Good. Be Nice.

Miller's Bay, on the west side of West Lake is a popular spot for boaters in the summer to just go chill out, throw an anchor, and relax. On the weekends, this bay is filled with boats tied up to each other offering families the opportunity to have the kids swim, or you might find a bunch of party animals chugging beers and enjoying the summer sun. Either way, everyone is having a great time, and so if you are out and about, just know that Millers Bay is where boaters go in the summer to be where the party is at.
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.
Boulders Inn and Suites promises to make your Okoboji vacation comfortable and relaxing. This new hotel just south of Emerald Hills golf course between Milford and Arnolds Park offers 40 rooms with suites to meet your individual needs. One of the best things about Boulders Inn is that it is within walking distance of the Taco House. For some of you, I know that can be a big deal!
Founded in 1960, the Three Sons has been a staple of Milford, IA retail. From Herman and Emil Richter, owners, was born the University of Okoboji, a ficticious university that calls the entire Iowa Great Lakes the campus of the U of O. Part of the experience of shopping the three sons, if walking the old battered floors, and taking a trip upstairs for half price, plus a buck. Brands you would expect in Milford Iowa are abundant, such as Patagonia, Oakley, Under Armour, Tommy Bahama, and more. There are currently 2 other stores; one at the amusement park, and another near the Regal Beagle called the bridge store. No self-respecting visitor to Okoboji leaves without visiting one of their stores.
The Dry Dock, connected to Four Season's Resort offers a simplified menu, but consistent delicious food. One of the few restaurants on West Lake Okoboji, the Dry Dock offers up legendary breakfasts, great lunches and dinners, and the local favorite Friday Night Fish Fry. Sit inside or out after arriving by foot, car, or boat.
Okoboji Boat Works is home to "The Fish Shack" and "The Inconvenience Store". Formerly a marina of thriving boat sales since 1890, OBW now offers up many different rentals, a 24 hour gas dock, excursion boats, and more. I remember the days as a child of fishing for crappie and blue gill here and along the docks of Smith's Bay. Though the scenery has changed, the outstanding fishing has not.
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.
Haywards Bay on West Lake Okoboji boasts low approaches and one of the few areas on West Lake to offer sand beaches. Renowned for the "bay of the flags", you will know you are in Haywards bay because of the all the American flags on the end of the docks. Fishing is great in Haywards Bay and the sunsets are one in a million. To get to Haywards Bay by car, one would drive the east side of the lake on Lakeshore Dr.
We had an amazing experience with Aaron! He was incredibly fast in responding to my request to view a house and provided excellent advice throughout the process. Friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful, he made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a responsive and knowledgeable realtor!
Aaron has a great approach and blended patience with persistence to deliver for us as his client! He spent the necessary time to get to know what was important to us and then showed us several properties to confirm what we described and pointed out the trade-off's of different attributes. We would definitely use his expertise again.
When we started looking for a location to start our business, Aaron was very helpful and easy to work with. His schedule was flexible to meet our needs. The entire process was simple and he took care of us all the way through the purchase and even after when we ran into a couple issues with the A/C and garage doors. We would definitely work with Aaron again in the future!
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!
Working with Aaron was easy and enjoyable. He was very helpful in the process and knowledgeable. Always willing to answer a question and set up tours. Aaron is a really nice guy and provided many tips and pointers regarding purchasing and owning the property that were beneficial.
Aaron Jones did a fantastic job for us from start to finish. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He helped us sell two properties and purchase a third all essentially within one weekend. This shows how well-connected and knowledgable he is in the lakes area. We highly recommend him for your home buying or selling needs.
Aaron originally sold us our lake house in 2020. We had a good experience with Aaron at that time so when we were ready to sell, we knew Aaron was the realtor we wanted to work with. He did not disappoint. He did a very good job of listing our home and shortly after, helped us sign the contract with the buyers of our home. We just completed the closing of the sale and are impressed with Aaron and his team. We would recommend Aaron and his team to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home in the Lake Okoboji area. Also, after we first purchased the home, whenever we had a question about a service or some information, Aaron was the person we went to. He has a lot of great contacts.
I wanted to share my excellent experience in selling my house through Aaron Jones and the RE/MAX team. Aaron Jones did an excellent job of marketing my home and answering any questions I had. Once a purchase agreement was signed, RE/MAX also let me use their enclosed trailer for moving purposes. Beth Toliver also was great at keeping me informed during the closing process. I would definitely recommend Aaron Jones and the RE/MAX team when you are buying or selling a property.
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.
Aaron was very attentive to my needs as a buyer. He has exceptional market knowledge & strong communication skills. He was able to assist in negotiating for the things I wanted. I believe Aaron has a genuine care for the client's needs!
