After graduating from Arlington High School, Carol enrolled in Lasell College of Nursing and received her Associates Degree. As a nurse, Carol worked in a variety of medical settings. One of her favorite areas was OB/GYN. She also worked in Pediatrics, Audiology, as a Hearing Specialist, and as a School Nurse in the Apache Junction School District.

She joined Weichert, Realtors- Lake Realty and after several years as a successful agent, Carol obtained her Broker’s license and became a Sales Manager within the company.
Carol spends her limited free time reading, working in her yard, or enjoying this warm Arizona weather. She loves animals and one way to spend time with them and let her nurturing side out is by pet sitting. Carol’s pet sitting is a welcomed diversion after a hectic day.
Her caring nature, dedication to her clients, and knowledge of real estate has made her a valued asset to her clients and the company. Carol will make you feel like you’ve known her forever and she truly cares about your needs.

Shelly Lovelady
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
Shelly came to Arizona in 1970 with her family when she was but a mere 5th grader. She was born in Leadville, Colorado, but spent her younger years in California. They put down roots in Apache Junction and Shelly came up through the AJ school system, graduating in 1978. While in a senior in high school, Shelly grabbed the opportunity to work at a bank half the day. She says,” When I finished school, I went full-time and loved it!” She worked as a banker for 13 years and the last 5 of those as an officer.
She moved on to work for Opportunity Village in Las Vegas, a non-profit organization for intellectually handicapped adults. Shelly worked in marketing for the thrift store which entailed organizing and running various charity events. She became proficient in working with individuals in the upper management of casinos in the area as she solicited their financial assistance to make successful fundraisers.
Shelly is married to Gary and they have a blended family consisting of her son Zach, 17 and Gary’s son Matthew, 18. Family is of utmost importance to Shelly and says, “My hardest, most challenging, and rewarding duty in life is being a mother.” As a single mother, having a job as a real estate agent allowed her to put her kindergartener on the bus and get him off when he came home. She says, “Now he drives himself to school, pays for his own gas & insurance and plans to go to college to become a teacher.” Success!
Being devoted to family you can see why her favorite pastime is laughing with her family. She also enjoys camping, fishing, dancing and traveling.
Patience is a major part of Shelly’s success. There are ups and downs in the real estate process and Shelly is a steady rudder in the turbulence. She will guide you through the hard parts with ease. Whether your family or clients, Shelly is always on your side, looking out for your best interest. Combine Shelly’s patient personality, her familiarity with the area, and knowledge of real estate an

Robert and Jeannette Lake--Founders
RETIRED
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
After having lost her husband, Larry Vehon, to cancer, Jeannette found herself in need of a way to support herself and her five children. Her late husband’s business partner urged her to take over Larry’s position in their Real Estate company. Being a visionary, Jeannette saw a lot of potential in the Apache Junction area and decided this was where she wanted to open shop. By early 1960, Jeannette (Vehon) Lake had opened Real Estate Investment Company in Apache Junction.
Jeannette married Bob Lake a few years later and he became an important part of what then became Lake Realty. Jeannette and Bob have sold many of the same properties in the area several times over the years and were busy in real estate before buildings and businesses started to dot the desert. The majority of sales in those days were vacant land since there was more land available to buy or sell than there were homes.
In 1994 their son, Tony Vehon, took over the office and became Owner/Broker. Tony bought into the Weichert, Realtors® franchise in 2007 and the company name was changed to Weichert, Realtors®-Lake Realty.
Bob and Jeannette became an intrinsic part of the community by serving on committees, boards and projects. In 1971, Bob and Jeannette were Co-Chairmen of the Lost Dutchman Days and also in the 70’s Bob was an integral part of the incorporation of the City of Apache Junction. Bob served as Chairman of the Board for the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber has recognized all of his efforts by naming an award in his honor, The Bob Lake Star award.
Bob is now retired and living in Gold Canyon. Jeannette passed away in 2004.

Erma Gilchrist
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon

Not many people can say they are Arizona natives but Erma can wear that banner proudly. She was born and raised in Az on a family farm in Chandler. The farm life provides the awesome opportunity to have horses, and Erma grew up riding and participating in barrel racing.
After graduating from her hometown high school, Chandler High, Erma married Gary and moved on to another rural area, Queen Creek. They eventually moved a little closer to Florence, where they still reside. She has three amazing children who keep active by participating in sports, singing, and playing musical instruments.
Of course a farm girl who is used to spending her days in the outdoors would love to go camping and Erma does just that. She and her family enjoy free time together hunting, camping and fishing.
Growing up, Erma’s family owned a western wear store where she learned some valuable lessons about customer service. Erma says, “ I learned early on that customer service was important to all aspects of business.” She carries that philosophy with her into the world of real estate. Erma has had her real estate license since 2004 and is now working full time serving the East Valley.
Treating people with kindness and respect is Erma’s trademark. She is not afraid to profess that she lives her life by observing the Golden Rule. Her faith is in first place in her life and then family and career. This makes Erma an honest, dependable and trustworthy agent who will respect your needs and concerns.

Rita came to Arizona from Wisconsin when her parents moved here in 1968. After high school she attended MCC and graduated with an AA. Ten years of her life were spent working in the hospital setting as a medical coder in the medical records department. Real Estate came into her life in 1993 when she married Tony. At the time he was an agent working for his parents, the founders of Lake Realty. He has since become owner/broker and has taken the company into this new world of technology and innovation.
After years of being a stay at home Mom, and having the last son soon to be graduating from high school, Rita decided to jump into the world of real estate. With Tony’s encouragement and knowledge as a supporting force, the decision was easy. Rita is passionate about working with clients to find them the home they long for. “It’s a truly rewarding experience to see the joy on the faces of clients who find and buy the home of their dreams,” she said.
Another passion of hers is writing. She has contributed articles to the local newspaper and the Gold Canyon Ledger. Rita is involved with support ministries within her church and also writes for the church’s online newsletter.
Rita takes her client’s cares and needs to heart. If you need to sell the home you love or don’t love so much anymore, you’ll have a diligent, supportive agent to help you find that buyer. “We want our clients to be happy whether they are selling their home or wanting to buy. It’s important to us to be there for you in your time of need,” she said.

Patty Jackson
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
For many years Patty and her husband Marty drove through Gold Canyon on their way to Phoenix to get to the airport, do some shopping or take in a Diamondbacks game. One or the other would always gaze at the beautiful Superstition Mountains and make the comment,"This would be such a wonderful place to live." So it is no surprise that when the opportunity to move to Gold Canyon presented itself, they were packed in a flash!
Following a long time banking career in South Eastern Arizona, Patty made the career transition to REALTOR® very easily. It didn’t take long to realize that helping people find the perfect affordable home of their dreams was very similar to helping clients achieve their financial goals and just as rewarding.
Patty and her husband Marty (a true Arizona native) graduated from high school together and have been married for 35 years. They love spending time together hiking the beautiful trails of Gold Canyon and “Geocaching”. If you don’t know what that is then you should give her a call and she will gladly tell you all about this fun, outdoor, family hobby. You can also ask her about her antique crystal collection or the Native American Art she collects to decorate her home.
If you are looking for assistance in buying or selling a home and want the utmost in quality customer service, then call Patty. You won’t be disappointed!

David Maro
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
David was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. It was there that he learned and practiced strong Midwest values and work ethics. After the dissolution of his marriage in 1972, he proudly became a single father of two children. Raising two children on his own has been one of his greatest accomplishments. David is now a proud grandfather of 4 boys.
Entering the printing and bindery industry 41 years ago in Minneapolis, MN, David became an apprentice and worked his way up through the years as a master bindery man. In 1995 he took a Master Bindery Man position in Las Vegas, NV. Then in 2006, David was offered a position in the Tempe, AZ area to further his career. It was during this time that he discovered the Gold Canyon area and knew this was the place he wanted to settle down.
As a die-hard supporter of Minnesota sports teams, you can be sure David will be watching the MN Vikings, MN Twins or the MN Golden Gophers. When not watching sports, David can be found bowling and has a typical average of 190. When possible, he also loves to travel to catch NHRA Drag Races across the country. But even with all of that - David's true passion has been Real Estate.
David has always had a love for real estate. He has bought and sold multiple properties of his own over the years. He thoroughly enjoys upgrading his homes using quality construction techniques and materials. Since he has been both the buyer and the seller multiple times, he understands the emotional process one goes through.
When the printing company David worked for fell victim to the economic downturn and closed its doors in the spring of 2009, he found a way to turn this into a positive. David has turned his hobby and passion into his new profession as a real estate agent.
If you are in the market to buy or sell - give David a call! He will help put your concerns at ease and will work hard for your business.

Although a native Kentuckian, Joe has always loved the state of Arizona. During his 33 years as Chief Financial Officer for the University of Kentucky Medical Center physician billing office, he made numerous business trips to Phoenix and Tucson. Joe says, “Each trip was a new and wonderful experience. I can’t imagine someone not being able to find something they love about Arizona.”
The one place he visited each and every trip was Tortilla Flats. This area of the Superstition Mountains caught his fancy and when he retired in 2005, he and his wife Reda purchased a home in Gold Canyon. As a new REALTOR® he hopes to share the magic of Gold Canyon and the Superstition Mountain area with others.
Joe is a “people-person” who will use his Southern hospitality to assist you in finding the perfect home for you and your family or in marketing your current home so others can experience life in this gorgeous area.
When not working for you, Joe spends his spare time fishing in the five lakes located in this area. He and Reda are active in their church and enjoy any activities involving people.
Give Joe a call today and let him show you what he can do to assist you in the buying and selling process.

Jim Vieyra
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
Some people have an inner drive and determination to accomplish much in their lives and Jim is definitely one of those amazing people. Jim has not only found time to attend and graduate from ASU, but he also has served 11 years in the military and served 2 tours of duty in Iraq. He was a combat military police officer and also did some marketing for the Army with retention/recruiting. We are very fortunate at WEICERT, REALTORS®, to have Jim as part of our family of realtors.
Jim is originally from California and moved to Arizona in 1996. He attended Chandler High School and also attended Mesa Community College, Chandler/Gilbert and ASU. While at ASU he was the president of the National Business Marketing Association for ASU and graduated with a BS degree in Agri-Business Marketing.
Having a military background no doubt has played a part in Jim’s desire to keep healthy and so he uses his spare time to work out and stay in shape.
Most of us who have lived in Arizona any length of time agree with Jim when he says, “Arizona is a great place to live and work. It’s probably one of the most beautiful states in the nation and in a matter of an hour you could be at a lake, river, or in the mountains.” That’s what we love about Arizona!
You can see Jim is passionate about whatever he does and he brings that passion to real estate and serving his clients. His marketing background is a great asset to his career as a Realtor® and he puts that experience and knowledge to work for you. Jim is an honest, dependable person that you can count on just as we counted on him to protect our country. His slogan is: “Let’s put loyalty and integrity back into doing business.” A couple of things that Jim knows something about.

Keith Chapple
Office:
Lake Realty-Gold Canyon
|
|
Arizona was fortunate to draw Keith away from the cooler California cities of San Jose and San Diego. Keith moved here to be closer to family, friends and work, and Weichert Realtors, Lake Realty is grateful that he made that decision. After moving to the Valley it didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the desert. He says, “I hope to help others see this great place the way I do, and fall in love with it for the first time, or all over again.”
The transition to Realtor is a natural fit for Keith. He started in the construction trades over 26 years ago and spent eight years as a Navy Sea Bee. After the navy, he went into facilities planning and architecture. For the last 10 years he has worked for home builders and commercial architects.
Keith has been married for 13 years to Heather and they have two great kids, Kerry and Nicolas. When he’s not working, Keith heads for the outdoors to enjoy walking in the desert parks. He also likes to get his adrenaline going by playing Paintball and studying traditional Ju-Jitsu.
Helping people is what really fulfills Keith and so he is committed to serving and giving back to the community. Through his church, Keith mentors teens, and works with homeless outreach programs.
This natural inclination to help people spills over into his working life. Keith finds great job satisfaction in helping people. And in Real Estate, that boils down to helping them with their basic needs; finding a home, or selling their home so they can move on to their next adventure. With his many years of experience around the building and housing market, Keith is knowledgeable and can assist you in making good, informed decisions about home buying and selling issues.
Helping people is just a part of who he is, so please give Keith a call and allow him to give you a hand.
