REALTOR® Lake Havasu City real estate

About Don Holmes
Designated Broker of Heirloom Realty

Don Holmes on Lake Havasu           Don Holmes first ventured to Lake Havasu on the July 4th weekend of 1969. He came with college friends, driving across the then unpaved stretch of highway 95, heading into the infant town of Lake Havasu City from Parker, Arizona. Don and his friends were packed into a truck and un-air-conditioned camper, and somewhere along the road a sympathetic elderly couple gave the passengers from the camper a lift in an air-conditioned sedan.
          Although his first visit to Havasu was more comical than awe inspiring, it did not discourage him from visiting the area again, three years later. The next trip was to the California side of Lake Havasu, to a place known as Havasu Palms. There he met his future wife, Bobbi Johnson, who lived at Havasu Palms (they were married in 1976).
          Over the years Don became a frequent visitor to Lake Havasu. He graduated from Cal Poly Pomona, with a Degree of Bachelors of Science, in Economics. Don moved with his family (then wife Bobbi, and two young children) to Havasu Palms in 1991, where he and his wife assumed management of the park, which included a 131 mobile home park, marina and restaurant.
          After Havasu Palms’ land lease expired, Don altered careers, which eventually brought him to real estate. Don with his son, Scott, and daughter, Elizabeth
          Today he is the Designated Broker at Heirloom Realty. He has earned his Graduate of REALTOR® Institution (GRI) designation, and is a Certified Commercial Sales Specialist (CCSS).

          His interests include exploring in his Jeep, golf, fishing, visiting with family and friends, and watching the stars from the comfort of his spa – all ideal activities for a Havasu lifestyle.
