About Jeff Carlson

I’m Jeff Carlson, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Experience and RE/MAX Lakes Realty, and Team Leader of the Carlson Group at RE/MAX Experience. Real estate is more than a career for me, it’s my passion and my platform for building community across Sioux City, Dakota Dunes, LeMars, Okoboji, and all of Siouxland. Every client I work with becomes part of that community, and I take pride in delivering an experience that’s energetic, fun, and results-driven.

Over the years, I’ve humbly been honored with some incredible recognition in the industry, including being named a Top 100 RE/MAX Agent in the U.S. (#66 in 2022), the #2 agent in the Iowa/Nebraska Region in 2022, a Platinum Club Award winner (2022–2024), 2025 RealTrends top real estate teams in Iowa and Sioux City, named to REMAX Hall of Fame (2025), and part of the RE/MAX President’s Circle for leading one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the nation. While those accolades mean a lot and are a direct reflection of the amazing clients we work with daily, what truly drives me is helping people achieve their dreams Whether it’s buying a home, selling an investment, or finding that perfect lakeshore getaway in Okoboji.

Beyond real estate, I’m deeply invested in the Siouxland community. I’m a co-owner of the City Centre in downtown Sioux City, I stay active at Sunnybrook Community Church, and I love giving back through coaching youth basketball and supporting local causes. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me cheering on a game, firing up the grill with friends, or enjoying a day of boating in Okoboji. Real estate is what I do but people, family, faith, and community are why I do it.

Jeff and the rest of the Carlson Group Real Estate team were beyond the best partners we could have hoped for in handling our new building purchase. As a new electrical contracting company that is rapidly growing and all the chaos that comes along with that, we had very little time to invest in the entire purchasing process. Jeff and his team stepped in for us and handled the entire purchase for us, start to finish. Even though we were 800 miles away on a project, everything happened on time as scheduled. Simply put, it was flawless execution on their part, and we sincerely want to thank the Carlson Group Real Estate team for carrying that burden for us. So, from the Electrical Innovations team, We Thank You!
