Announcing a new partnership: Kimberlee Meserve and The Street Property Team are powered by PLACE.

Eric Jon Melnikoff has a big vision, limitless energy, and is ready to implement the structure PLACE offers to help his team grow.

Wayne, N.J., August 2022 — PLACE, a broker-agnostic real estate platform delivering intuitive technology and business services to top real estate teams, announced today a new partnership with The Melnikoff Real Estate Experience of northern New Jersey. PLACE improves profitability and production for the top 20% of real estate teams, and now supports over 130 real estate businesses across the United States and Canada.

Eric Jon Melnikoff, CEO and associate broker at The Melnikoff Real Estate Experience, is an elite real estate professional in the Northern New Jersey market. Based 20 miles from downtown Manhattan, Melnikoff’s team already services most of the Garden State with plans to expand to New York. In 2021, The Melnikoff Real Estate Experience closed more than $23 million in volume, assisting 49 families achieve the dream of homeownership.

“Partnering with PLACE gives our team the leverage to automate our day-to-day operations so we can recruit great agents and impact more lives.”

Melnikoff got his start in real estate in 2004 after selling his telecom equipment company. While transitioning out of the business, he began preparing for his career as a real estate professional. Melnikoff started in the rental market in Hoboken, New Jersey for around four years before getting his broker’s license and opening his own firm. In the first six weeks of focusing on sales, he listed approximately 20 properties. Still, he realized the limitations of owning a boutique brokerage and moved over to a larger firm to launch his namesake team.

Despite attending countless team building, leadership, and real estate training courses, Melnikoff went through some trial-and-error before creating the successful business he has today. And, he recognizes that a new partnership with PLACE can help his team grow even further. “I can stand up in front of a room and teach and talk about the processes for building a team,” he explained. “But, with all the different plates I have to keep in the air, I can’t put it together and still produce.”

“PLACE has mastered the art of helping successful teams grow further. We have to show up to embrace, absorb, and then implement.”

Recognizing that he cannot do it all on his own has been freeing for this real estate professional. “I want to impact a lot of lives,” he explained. “Partnering with PLACE gives our team the leverage to automate our day-to-day operations so we can recruit great agents and reach more clients.”

Melnikoff’s vision map includes his dreams of expanding more throughout New Jersey and tapping into the New York market. He believes that his small team has the capability to help drive this expansion, but will benefit from the systems, support, and training PLACE provides to get there faster.

Melnikoff has followed the PLACE founders for several years and has great confidence in the systems they have built. “Building a team is not easy,” he explained. “PLACE has mastered the art of helping successful teams grow further. We have to show up to embrace, absorb, and then implement.”

“Eric Jon has big dreams and I believe that leveraging the systems of PLACE will help him achieve the growth he envisions,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “He’s already begun the legwork and we look forward to helping him achieve his goals.”

“Eric Jon is a great businessman who recognizes his strengths and the value of a partnership,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “We welcome him with open arms to PLACE and look forward to witnessing his team’s future successes first hand.”
