For
Jack,
touring
the
24
houses
on
Zillow
Gone
Wild
across
the
country
was
a
dream,
but
it
went
beyond
just
walking
around
the
unique
listings.
“I
liked
the
feeling
that
I
got
with
certain
homes,”
he
recalled. “I
guess
it
really
does
come
from
the
connection
from
the
homeowners.
Everything
had
a
story,
everything
had
purpose
and
intention.”
But
for
the
50-year-old,
it
was
essential
to
express
his
gratitude
to
each
homeowner
on
the
show.
“You
don’t
show
up
empty-handed,”
Jack
noted. “So,
I
brought
them
a
nice
little HGTV travel
mug
and
then
I
would
send
a
handwritten ‘thank
you’
letter
after
every
visit.
It
really
was
fun.”
“At
the
end
of
the
day,
these
people
are
letting
us
into
their
homes,”
he
continued. “That
takes
some
bravery
and
that
takes
vulnerability.
I
was
very
grateful
that
they
were
amenable
to
that.”
