🏡☀️ Love Where You Vacation

Heather, a trauma nurse with Mayo Clinic, and Brian, an IT professional with Mayo Clinic, had a dream of one day living where they love to vacation.

This year, that dream became reality.

After spending years enjoying everything the Iowa Great Lakes area has to offer, they decided it was time to make Okoboji more than a getaway destination. When the right opportunity came along, they answered the call and made Okoboji home.

As healthcare heroes, they also qualified for the Homes for Heroes program, earning Hero Rewards back after their purchase. It’s my favorite way to thank those who dedicate their careers to serving others while helping them achieve their homeownership goals.

Congratulations, Heather and Brian, on finding your place at the lake and starting this exciting new chapter. Welcome to Okoboji! 🌊❤️

Bigger Audience. Better Results.

When more buyers know your home is available, everyone benefits.
More awareness creates more opportunities, more showings, and a stronger chance of finding the right buyer at the right price.

🇺🇸 Honoring Heroes, Supporting Families ❤️

Helping Liam and Allyssa sell their Milford home and purchase their dream home in Spencer was such a rewarding experience.

Liam is an active-duty service member who has completed two tours in Iraq, and through the Homes for Heroes program, their family received Hero Rewards on both the sale of their previous home and the purchase of their new one.

Even more exciting, their Milford home sold in just 24 hours, allowing them to remove the sale contingency and move forward with confidence on the home they had their hearts set on.

One of my favorite things about Homes for Heroes is that it’s not a one-time benefit. Heroes can take advantage of the program every time they buy or sell a home, creating savings that add up through every chapter of life.

Thank you, Liam, for your service, and congratulations to you, Allyssa, and your beautiful family on this exciting new beginning! 🏡
