Jack Stapleton's Daily Blog

Hi.  My name is Jack Stapleton, and I was born in Northern California in 1974.  I was raised in a family of 5 with a father that was a Sheriff and a mother that was a Hospital Laboratory Tech.  I was raised in a small town called fort Bragg on the beautiful California coast.  After I graduated High School, I moved to Santa Rosa and attended Santa Rosa Junior College and was on the dean’s list every semester.  After college, I moved to San Francisco and was hired in the High Tech industry as a software engineer.  After only three years in the industry, I was recruited by a Los Angeles based firm and offered a position as a Head Programmer.  The firm had just been listed on Inc. Magazines’ 22nd Fastest Growing Companies in California and 130th in the Nation.  I accepted the position and within two years was made employee of the year, then junior partner, then full partner.  The firm was sold in 2000, and I started my own company and named it On-Click LLC.  I later obtained my California Real Estate License and started flipping properties with a business partner.  I later sold the Tech Company and opened an ecommerce website and brick and mortar retail store.  The retail store was by far the most exciting and fulfilling venture I have undertaken to date.  In 2006, I was approached by a large competitor that offered to by the business.  I accepted the offer, and immediately after moved to Texas and obtained my Texas Real Estate License.  I later felt regretful for selling the business; I had truly invested my heart and soul into it. I hold active real estate licenses in both California and Texas.  I have an unusually strong commitment to education.  I passed the Texas Real Estate Exam with higher than a 95%.  After I got my Texas Real Estate License, I continued on to obtain prestigious industry designations such as ABR, GRI, ePro, CRS, EcoBroker, and many others.  Less than one percent of realtors hold even a single designation.  I have always been driven to be the best at what I do.  My strong commitment to education, hard work, and ethical behavior has created a thriving business.  I put the goals of my clients above my own, and my personal mark of success is achieved when I exceed by clients expectation.  I work hard, so I play hard too.  I enjoy traveling, swimming, working out, movies / theater, and outdoor activities.  I also am an awesome cook and love to entertain family and friends.  I am a vegetarian, but my personal decision is unique and I am not offended by people who are not.  I breed Jack Russell Terriers, and if you ever want to see the best dogs in the world, let me introduce you to Baylee and Peanut.  I live in a wonderful community in Round Rock and love my new life in Central Texas.  I love my job, and I am thankful and grateful for so many things.
