Jack Papaleonti
Managing Partner/Associate Broker Academy Realty
For Jack, being a Realtor is personal. It’s about helping people realize their goals and understanding the value of home ownership and building equity. It’s about helping families transition to bigger homes as their families grow. It’s about supporting others as they downsize to prepare for a simpler lifestyle. It’s about buying your dream home -- whether it’s close to town, on the water or at the beach. It’s about finding that perfect house that you can call “home.” Or, it’s about selling your home to support your next life adventure. More importantly, it’s about nurturing each client relationship and staying in touch even after the transaction has closed.
Jack’s family taught him the value of home ownership at a very young age. After immigrating to Annapolis from Cyprus in 1970, his parents purchased their first house in Homewood in 1971. The house was small and they didn’t have much, but what they did have -- they shared. The house became a gathering place for friends, relatives and friends of friends. A place where meals were shared and special moments were celebrated. A place where they laughed and cried. A place of love and compassion. A place where they helped each other get through challenging times. The house meant everything to Jack’s family and Jack’s Dad (Papou) still lives in this same house today. Jack values what it means to be a homeowner and he takes pride in helping his clients achieve their residential purchasing and selling needs.
Jack was fortunate to partner with his mother-in-law Joni Jones 15 years ago to create Academy Realty, Inc. Over the last five years, Academy Realty, Inc. has successfully settled 558 transactions totaling over $168 million in sales. Academy consistently executes over 100 transactions per year with the help of a dedicated staff that works tirelessly to get the job done for their clients.
Staying busy within the residential real estate market is Jack’s passion. Both he and his wife are lifelong residents of Annapolis, both attended local schools and proudly raised their children within the Annapolis public school system. Jack is an active member of the community. Serving as the Annapolis high school Athletic Booster Club President, as an active board member of the Annapolis Optimist Club, and as a Parish Council member of his church, Jack has a unique perspective on what Annapolis communities have to offer. He is proud that his five children are also serving the community in their own ways. Darla is an emergency room nurse, Peter is a math teacher and lacrosse coach at Annapolis High School, Nick is a firefighter and EMT at the Annapolis Fire Department, Zachary is a Realtor at Academy Realty, Inc. and Isabella is a senior at Annapolis High.
When it comes to helping you with your home ownership needs, Jack will make it personal. It’s not about closing the deal, but helping his clients realize their homeownership goals and developing relationships to build upon.
