Nancy and Susanne,
My Co-Founder and I recently had the great pleasure of working with your colleague Jeannette Melillo for leasing 2333 Morris Ave, Union, NJ, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and would request to work with her going forward and grow our business with her.
From the very beginning, Jeannette had a high level of professionalism, and expertise. Her team (Jack Maier) was very dedicated to understanding our needs and transparent if some locations did not fit our needs. Then she curated a list of properties that aligned perfectly with our business requirements and came with us to the showings.
One aspect that sets Jeannette apart from others that I worked with in the field is her communication. She was always accessible and ensured to keep us in the loop at every step of the process. She promptly answered our questions, provided valuable insights, and kept us informed about every communication with the landlords and developments. Her responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure we were well-informed with every decision was remarkable such as even getting on calls with us Sunday nights to walk us through options.
Negotiation is an area where Jeannette truly excelled. Their skillful negotiation tactics led to a favorable outcome, resulting in terms that we were extremely satisfied with.
Furthermore, Jeannette's network of professionals, such as lawyers, made the entire process smooth and efficient.
Above all, Jeannette exhibited a genuine passion for helping clients find the best location. It's evident that they take pride in their work and prioritize her clients' needs and satisfaction. Her transparency and honesty fostered a level of trust that made me feel comfortable every step of the way and look forward to continuing to work with her.

Jeannette Melillo – Review
Dear Susan Newmark,
This letter is a letter of recommendation for Real Estate Agent Jeannette Melilo. She recently went above and beyond to assist me with the lease of my business space in Montclair, NJ. Jeannette is an amazing person with qualities that made her an effective broker and the perfect one for me.
I cannot say enough about her professionalism and knowledge of my industry. I had a unique space requirement and her understanding of my industry helped lead to an efficient search. She conducted herself with high integrity and remained persistent, always keeping my best interest in mind. Despite my real estate purchase being a small transaction, Jeannette treated me with the same professionalism and courtesies as a large firm. I always felt like I was a priority on her list.
Jeannette did a great job of listening to my objectives, doing the research, and responding to my requests. She stayed firm in my terms and negotiated a fair price that I could not have done without her. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. I have a high level of confidence in Jeannette and would recommend her to anyone that crosses my path in need of commercial real estate.
Sincerely,
Charity Hill

It is with much gratitude and appreciation we would like to thank you Marjorie, and David, for the difficult job you took on to sell our property. You were so understanding and kind, we knew you really cared. You kept us feeling optimistic even though we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy sale. And here we are today - closing complete - and we are off to a new phase of our lives thanks to both of you!!
With kindest regards Bob and Myrt Ober
Thank you!
Hi Susanne, I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the services provided by Judy Feldman and Jeanette Melillo. They worked tirelessly and in a professional manner to market and successfully conclude a fairly complex transaction. I found them responsive and available. I would highly recommend them both to another client who is selling or buying a professional office/building. Thank you for your support as well.
Sincerely, Dr Robert Rosenthal

I wanted to let you know personally what a pleasure it is to work with James. I realize that he is young and probably just starting out, but I find him to be really dedicated to his profession. He loves it and it shows. I feel he has been a real partner to us through this whole process.

Working with Helene is like winning the agent lottery. She listens to your needs, finds you the right property for the right price, and holds your hand through the whole process. She always goes well above the call of duty.
Helene, thank you for being the best agent anyone could ever ask for.

To Newmark Leadership,
It is my immense pleasure to recommend Helene Elbaum as a knowledgeable and attentive real estate agent for any individual searching for their ideal property for their unique situation. I work with a local non-profit that needed guidance from a real estate professional and I needed it fast!
Helene was responsive from our initial phone call right through our final email regarding appraisals. She was a great resource for our business and attentive to what I was looking for. Her research and knowledge of the community inventory and the process was invaluable to me. Helene was timely in her responses to me and continues to be helpful in our efforts to provide the best services to our local community. Any individual looking for a realtor who can be there for them, look no further! Helene Elbaum is a highly attentive agent. She returned all phone calls and emails quickly. She is extremely detail oriented and helps to prioritize what needs to be done and in what order. She may be very busy but I was impressed with her professionalism and the way she made time in her day so easily to fit me in. Helene is very personable and I would work with her again.
Thank you,

My name is Scott Paltos and I am the co-owner operator of Foundation Training Systems. My business partner Doug Sellmann and I have worked with Jeannette now for over a year. We started our search for a new building well over a year ago. Unfortunately, we know the pandemic did not allow us to process as fast as we could, but Jeannette stayed every step of the way with us. Prior to everything, Jeannette made an effort time and time again to find us a fitting space. She took her time out of a number of days to assist us or show us countless properties. The whole time being professional and even helping us figure some of our business plans out too.
You see I have been in business for over 15 years with our business. We are a specialty boutique gym/training facility. It’s not easy to find a space that fits. Jeannette made it her job to make sure we found it. Jeannette didn’t hesitate to slow things down when we had to for the pandemic. She wasn’t pushy, wasn’t over excited for anything that didn’t fit our needs. She constantly stayed in touch with Doug and I. When something came on, she made sure to relay it to us immediately. Even when I would inundate her with things I found, she didn’t become critical, she made sure to walk me or Doug through some benefits or not so great fits.
I am saying this because I would recommend anyone looking for Commercial Real Estate to enlist and sign with Jeannette. It was a pleasure to work with her. I even consider her an asset for our business as we will grow to multiple spaces by 2023. I have only high regard for our business relationship and am thankful we signed with her to assist us. Jeannette is a professional!!!!
Sincerely,
SP

Dear Susanne,
I have had the pleasant experience of working with Jeannette Melillo these past few months and would like to share with you why. When I met her I figured here we go again, another real estate salesperson looking for a listing. After our first meeting to do a walk-through visit, I could tell she was on the ball, provided acceptable answers to my questions, some I liked, others not so much - which was a good feeling. We were on the same page, but both sides needed to do a little work. Much to my surprise within a week she brought a client to view our site and start the progression of where we are now, negotiating a lease.
It was through her diligent efforts that made this happen. She was and is sincere and I believe one of the better agents I have dealt with. Jeannette is very courteous, professional, and responsive to my phone calls and questions. We had a hiccup here and there and she responded quickly to resolve them so we could move forward to get our deal done.
I would and have recommended her to other friends looking for someone they could feel comfortable dealing with in this business. I Personally feel she is an asset to your firm.
