Meet the APPRO and CERRON Team: Jack Matasosky
Name: Jack Matasosky
Role: CEO, Sales, Owner APPRO Development & CERRON Commercial Properties Broker/Owner
APPRO and CERRON help businesses find and/or create great spaces – what about that do you love?
- I sincerely love the outcome and especially the entire engaging process with clients. We have the opportunity to join our clients as an active participant int heir firm for a time, while we investigate their operations and need, provide options, and ultimately help create property solutions that enhance their operations!
Describe your role with APPRO and CERRON in 10-15 words.
- My role here is sales, management, and a little of everything else.
Why should someone who doesn’t know APPRO and CERRON, choose our companies?
- I would hope a client would choose our firms because they can trust us to create solutions to their needs based on the breadth of our knowledge/skill in in these markets.
What is your earliest memory of selling, designing or building something?
- Elementary school – I always wanted to study Architecture at some point. I would doodle in class – if I liked a teacher, I would draw them in a beautiful building or setting. If I didn’t care for the topic – they might end up behind bars in some rat hole jailhouse!
What makes our team unique?
- We have based and built our companies on the simple premise of serving client need. We recognize the magnitude of the investment in a property solution – whether a new building, an addition, or relocating to a new space, and we work very hard to make sure clients feel they have made all of their decisions based on clear, relevant and extensive data.
What inspires and/or motivates you in what you do with APPRO and CERRON?
- Every project, every client is unique and to be able to partner with that particular client for a period of time is exciting and fresh to me.
- My fun outside of the office typically revolves around my wife and son – his hockey and sports activities fill our lives with joy. When other time is available – skiing, fishing, hunting and golfing are things I enjoy.
What is the best compliment you have received?
- I value integrity and sincerity so highly in others – so when someone mentions them about me – I really appreciate the compliment.
- First and foremost would be my son’s hockey team…then, any other hockey team.
Where is one place you have not been, but would really like to go?
- Heaven…but, not quite yet!
