Why Use a Realtor
Why would I want to pay a Realtor to sell my home?
Folks, you wouldn't be human if you didn't have this thought. Everyone who has bought a home, invested in real estate, or sold a home has thought at least once, "this isn't so hard...I can do this." However, there are more horror stories than sweet dreams when doing it on your own. It kind of reminds you of those Holiday Inn Express commercials...you know the ones...the guy is performing surgery and exclaims "I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!". Well the same holds true for Real Estate. Not only do you not receive the exposure and marketing, there are many legal pitfalls that consumers simply don't know about that could cost you huge dollars. The ramifications of forgetting this or not doing that are huge, and you do not want that liability. You definately want to leave it to the professionals. If the liability weren't enough, the very best reason to use a Realtor is the exposure. You will undoubtedly be able to get more $$ for your home because of the simple theory of supply and demand. The more buyers you have to look at your home, the more you will be able to demand for your home. So, if you are thinking about selling your home, and just want to talk about it, give me a call. I'd be happy to discuss your options.

Arnolds Park Amusement Park
Having lived in Okoboji all my life, there are a wealth of memories of Arnolds Park. I, like many of the locals, miss the nostalgia of the old Roof Garden, the fun house, the water slide and much, much more. With time comes change, and the amusement park continues to reinvent itself. Currently with over 20 rides to choose from, the family is sure to have a good time. The main attraction, The Legend Roller Coaster, is the 7th oldest coaster in the United States and apparently the 13th oldest in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 50 mph, the roller coaster has undergone substantial renovations in the last year. In front of the amusement park on West Lake is the Queen II excursion boat, and Pirate Jacks Bar. The sunsets here are unparalleled. If you have a chance to visit, make sure to check out the tipsy house, the three sons, and all of the shops. Just to the east is the green space, which provides great entertainment and in 2013 OAR came to play, which is a pretty big name for Okoboji.
Brooks Golf Course
Brooks Golf Club is one of the premier golf courses in the Iowa Great Lakes. Located in Okoboji, Iowa, Brooks is one of the few 27 hole golf courses in Iowa. I've personally been a member here for a number of years, and can tell you that not other course offers the beauty and upkeep that Brooks provides. The numerous flower beds, Caribbean beach like bunkers, bent grass fairways, natural prairie grass, and rolling hills provide for an aesthetic pleasure as you play all 27 holes. Brooks also has one of the nicest practice facilities in the state as well. Come say hi to John, Bret and their teams of professionals. if you are an avid golfer and in Boji, you won't want to miss these links.
