Meet Jacobs Real Estate Partners 

Brian and Dee Dee Jacobs:  

There's no place like home! There's no place like home! Wait a minute - the Lake of the Ozarks sounds pretty appealing when you're in the midst of a very cold and snowy winter in Iowa! Though we still love our hometowns, we decided warmer temperatures, rolling hills, and a lake unlike any other, is where we wanted to be. Lake of the Ozarks, the "Midwest Coast" called to us in our dreams, so here we are! 

Brian calls Cedar Rapids Iowa his hometown and Dee Dee was born and raised in Des Moines. We had both spent over ten years in corporate telecommunication sales and had risen to the top of our fields. Still, we needed a new challenge. We wanted something more. We wanted something for ourselves.  

In early spring of 2006 we we're approached with a business opportunity to purchase an existing real estate team at RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks. For us, working hard with a specific purpose and goal in sight was nothing new. But now, we had the opportunity to focus our efforts on helping other people achieve their goals and dreams. It was clear to us that entering into the Real Estate profession would be a perfect fit. We had already grown to love the lake area on our vacations and weekend retreats, so we made the decision to make a life changing move. We said goodbye to Iowa and hello to The Lake of the Ozarks! 

Since then, we've formed Jacobs Real Estate Partners, with RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks. Currently, we have three other full time sales agents on our team and are in the process of the recruiting one additional sales agent. We are please to have a full time administrative staff to assist in all closings and facilitate all of our property listings. Together as a team, we have taken the real estate market by storm and are now recognized as not only a top ranking team within RE/MAX, but a top ranking team in the state of Missouri.  

We attribute our success and rapid ascent to a very simple philosophy: We have a responsibility to work with dedication, honesty, and integrity, in order to provide the very best experience for our clients. 

Todd Bartlett: 

Todd is proud to have been part of The Lake of the Ozarks community for over 14 years now. Formerly a PGA Golf Professional, that managed the Lodge of Four Seasons 45 Hole Division. Looking for a new career locally in the lake area, Todd has been part of the Jacobs Real Estate Partners family for over 2 years.  

Real Estate investment has always been an area of interest. The off season has afforded Todd time to personally remodel and rehab properties as a capital investment. These projects have included every aspect of the building process. From concrete, framing, millwork, roofing, drywall, plumbing and customer stone and tile work, just to name a few. Customer woodworking is also a hobby that has been incorporated into several projects of Todd's.  

Family comes first. Todd spends time through the year volunteering for various youth groups and activities. A future personal goal includes the building of a new home for his wife and 4 children.  

Todd prides himself on developing long lasting relationships with his clients, not transactions. He has an extensive knowledge of the area and goes above and beyond to find not just any property, but the "ideal" property for his clients.

Keith Rustand  

Having relocated from North Dakota to Lake of the Ozarks over 20 years ago,
Keith and Marilyn have two successful daughters. De'Rikki working and
living in North Dakota, Mieka working with Monsanto and lives in St Louis. 

Keith and Marilyn love lake living, having lived on a small lake in North
Dakota, but needed to move their company to a more central location within
the country. Lake of the Ozarks was without a doubt the place to live,
where else can you own the lakefront and have you're boat in front of your
house. Keith had visited the lake while doing basic training at Fort
Leonard Wood back in the late 60's, what a difference today. 

Keith, educated in the jewelry industry by the Gemological Institute of
America and The American Gem Society, has worked in the jewelry industry
since he was 18 years old, owned retail jewelry stores along with a jewelry
manufacturing company called De'Nicole Designs, Inc.

Also having worked with real estate most of his life, doing land
development, building, commercial and rental properties; some developments
are The Boulder Subdivision, The Boulders II, Willow Creek Estates, Diamond
Plaza and Crown Plaza. Having retired from the jewelry industry, Keith is
now having fun working full time in real estate with Jacobs Real Estate
Partners, RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks.
