Haley grew up in southeast Kansas, where she spent much of her early years enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. They camped, fished, boated and skied on the shores of the Neosho River or one of the numerous Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri lakes. Eventually Haley settled down in the Kansas City area with her husband, Jason, and they continued that tradition with their own family.
After years of storing, hauling, packing and unpacking a camper, they decided to trade it all in for their first vacation lake house in 2014 at Lake of the Ozarks. Two years later they jumped into full-time lake living. “We just couldn’t get enough,” she said. “It became more and more difficult to leave the lake at the end of the weekend. Now we don’t have to, and we couldn’t be happier with the decision we made.”
When her family moved to the Lake full-time, Haley’s eldest son had just moved to college. But her and Jason’s two younger children were in grade school and middle school. She couldn’t help but wonder how her children would transition from a much larger school in the city to a school district in a small Lake of the Ozarks community. She need not have worried.
“Our children are happier and more well-adjusted than we ever thought possible here at the lake,” she said. “Every day feels like a vacation, and we are so happy that our children will have these experiences and memories to share with their own families when they are older.”
Inspired by her own experience, Haley now loves to help others realize their own dreams of living the lake lifestyle.
“I am committed to giving my clients the best customer service experience possible with understanding, patience and knowledge of lakefront real estate and everything that comes along with it,” she said.
