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.

Terrace Park
Terrace Park is located in Brown's Bay on West Lake, Okoboji. It is one of the largest public beaches on West Lake and has entertained beach goers for many years. Next to Terrace Park is Boys Town out of Omaha, Nebraska. I remember as a kid spending entire days at terrace park, either riding bicycle or taking a moped (yes a moped) down to meet with friends and playing king on the dock. In 2010, the morning after "the storm", Terrace Park was carnage. Boat were stacked on top of each other. Trees were uprooted, and hoists were tossed around. Boats and other water craft were found in Terrace Park that belonged to owners on the North end of West Lake.
The Three Sons
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.
Dry Dock
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.
