Jon House

In this episode of The Best of LKN Podcast, Jeff sits down with Jon House, a real estate broker with Howard Hanna Allen Tate covering the North Charlotte-to-Statesville corridor. Jon shares his remarkable journey from chasing a childhood NASCAR dream as a pit crew jackman, to battling stage four cancer, to a career-ending pit road accident in 2016 that led him to real estate — a career he’s now thrived in for nine years.

The heart of the conversation is Jon’s work with Purple Heart Homes, a nonprofit that retrofits and builds homes for veterans in need. Three years ago, Jon turned his passion for competitive kayak bass fishing into the Reel Heroes tournament on Lake Norman — an event that started with a $1,500 goal and has since generated over $200,000 in donations and products. This year’s tournament takes place July 11th, with registration open to anglers of all skill levels at https://tourneyx.com/app/ (search “Reel Heroes”). Sponsorship opportunities are also available for local businesses.
