BROOKLINE, MA — The Massachusetts Apartment Association named four staff at Chestnut Hill Realty as recipients of this year’s Professional Achievement Awards. The awards, which recognize individuals who go above and beyond within their professional career and make significant contributions to the multifamily industry, were presented at the 2024 MAA President’s & Achievement Awards ceremony held in Boston in early December.
John DeMunda, Senior Property Manager at 1443 Brookline Signature Properties, was named Apartment Manager of the Year. Throughout his 11 years at Chestnut Hill-based Chestnut Hill Realty, John has served as Assistant Property Manager and Property Manager at three apartment communities in Brighton, Cambridge and Norwood. John has polished his skills at managing increasingly larger properties, overseeing capital improvement projects, resolving resident issues, training staff, and streamlining operations.
Jefferson Saldivar, Service Technician at Village Green in Plainville, was selected as MAA’s Apartment Maintenance Technician of the Year. Jefferson began working for Chestnut Hill Realty 15 years ago at Regency Plaza in Providence before transferring to Village Green.
Nicol Zambruski, Resident Services Professional at Hancock Village in Chestnut Hill, was named Leasing Professional of the Year. Nicole, whose accolades include receiving CHR’s Most Rentals award in 2019 and 2022, is known as much for her team mentality and relationship building skills as she is for her sales and leasing talent.
