We worked with Will while we were buying a condo in Okoboji. Will was actually working for the seller but helped us close the saleI was so impressed with how he dealt with the elderly sellers by making our sale happen so the couple could close on another house out of town within 24 hours.Would use Will for any buying/selling in the area

Was struggling to find a home with another agent for weeks. Was able to talk to Will a bit about my frustrations and within a week found exactly what I needed and where. Would always consider working with him first and foremost

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.

"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.
