MATZEL DEVELOPMENT SALES MANAGER WINS F.A.M.E. AWARD

Louise Giovinazzo, Sales Manger at the Covington Village Community for active adults located in northern Ocean County, received the prestigious F.A.M.E. award for Sales Manager of the Year at a ceremony held in mid-February at the Grand Marquis in Old Bridge. The award represented one of 12 acknowledgements for excellence that were conveyed to Matzel Development, the community’s builder, by the New Jersey Shore Builders Association (NJSBA) during the second annual gala attended by hundreds of association members and guests.

Giovinazzo’s efforts in managing three other associates in the on-site sales team at Covington Village were recognized by NJSBA among those of her peers at top building firms at the Jersey Shore. “Louise has done an outstanding job for us since the community opened,” said Greg Matzel, President of Matzel Development. “This award speaks volumes for her commitment to customer service and dedication to the sales staff at Covington Village, especially considering the tough competition she faced among entrants from quality building firms throughout the Shore Area.”

Designed for active adults age 55 and over, Covington Village is a secure, gated condominium community, surrounded by preserved woodlands, that is convenient to major highways, shopping, golf courses, beaches and entertainment facilities. Three distinctive home designs are available. A 14,000 sq. ft. community clubhouse is scheduled to open during the upcoming summer.

In addition to Giovinazzo’s award, Matzel Development also won Community of the Year honors for Covington Village, as well as Best Marketing Director, Best interior Merchandising, Best Landscaping, Best Architectural Product Design, and six other F.A.M.E. Awards.

The F.A.M.E. (Fabulous Achievement in Marketing Excellence) Awards are presented to professionals representing all aspects of the building industry in dozens of categories. The NJBA is a professional trade association comprised of homebuilders, remodelers, materials suppliers, subcontractors, lending institutions and others involved in housing and building related fields.
