To whom it may concern; I have been in the commercial real estate business for 25 yrs. Newmark Associates has been a leader in leasing and sales in the industry. So when the time came to sell my property I turned to them. Jeannette Melillo and Jack Maier were a great team to work with. My deal was challenging, best suited for an owner operator, high property taxes, etc. Jeannette and Jack did a great job working with qualified buyers, showing the property and keeping me aware of what was going on. They were always responsive to my needs and issues. Finally, after many hurdles getting a deal in place and closed. I would definitely work with them again, as a buyer or seller. I would recommend working with them. Yours truly, Cary Lazar

Hello,
I have been working with Jeanette Melillo for about a year and a half, and she recently closed a deal with us on a commercial real estate lease for our second children's art studio location.
Upon establishing Jeannette as our broker, she took the time to meet us in our current space and carefully get to know our needs based on our previous experiences. She has been personable, extremely responsive, and gets things done quickly and efficiently. She and her team always met us to see new properties immediately upon inquiry and always raised important questions and concerns.
When we found the right space, Jeannette fiercely advocated on our behalf, and we were able to secure a space for over 20% off the asking price. We were thrilled. We were very happy with Jeannette as our broker, and would work with her again in the future. Best Regards, Lacey Buccellato, DirectorJeannette Melillo
March 20, 2024 To whom it may concern: I would like to take this opportunity to speak about one of your agents. Ms. Melillo was referred to me to help sell my professional office space in Edison, NJ. She was the first real estate agent I interviewed for this sale and was so impressed I gave her an exclusive to the property. Her dedication to sales and trying to get me the highest sale price only could have happened because of her experience and expertise in your field. She worked diligently interfacing with Hackensack University JFK Medical Center's real estate division and their legal department for months putting the deal together and as mentioned getting me the highest sale price for the property. Jeannette Melillo is a consummate professional, an expert and I am sure a great asset to your company. I am sure she is someone that should be considered for future upward growth within your company as well. I would recommend her without any reservation and a true pleasure to work with. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Respectfully, Paul M. Figlia MD

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. Manusha Chereddy
