Professionally-decorated homes draw a record number of interested prospects and homebuyers to upscale Bergen County neighborhood.

A record number of homebuyers gathered at The Plaza at Tenafly to attend the recent grand opening of three model homes designed by acclaimed Chicago designer Rene Pabon of The Childs Dreyfus Group.

A record breaking 300 enthusiastic prospects — an incredible number rarely achieved in today’s housing market — visited the upscale collection of condominium homes and five-star amenities and services during the special three-hour event, including almost 100 new registered homebuyers, according to JMP Holdings, which is developing the neighborhood at the intersection of Piermont Road and Prospect Terrace in this enviable Bergen County Borough. The overwhelming attendance proves that buyers are eager for new product that represents value and embraces the luxurious lifestyle they seek.

“While news headlines are less than positive, the reality is there is still homebuyers who are ready, willing and able and the amazing attendance at this weekend’s model opening serves as proof,” says Richard Fernicola of JMP Holdings. “Buyers today are well-informed, recognize value and realize that there is limited supply at The Plaza at Tenafly.”
