Melissa Haddad of Better Homes Realty, Middletown office, was recently Voted No. 1 Realtor in Monmouth County in the Asbury Park Readers’ Choice Contest. After only two years in business, Haddad obtained the honor of being accepted into the Circle of Excellence for her real estate sales in 2012 and 2013. Now after just about three years in the business, she has earned this designation only a few Realtors ever obtain. “I absolutely love working at Better Homes Realty and helping my clients, whether buyers, seller or renters, achieve and exceed their goal. I am with each of my clients from the beginning of the transaction to the closing table, making sure every aspect of the transaction runs smoothly. And with the help of social media, my clients love keeping me informed even after closing of all of the changes they make to their homes. This is by far the best career choice I have made,” Haddad said. Melissa Haddad can be reached at 732-957-0300 or 732- 337-0098.
