WEST NYACK— The Palisades Center mall in West Nyack recently announced the grand opening of real estate brokerage firm RE/MAX Opulent on Level One near Best Buy.
RE/MAX Opulent is headed by Broker Zulma Valnetin and Vice President of Operations Jian Gonzalez. The brokerage features an experienced and dedicated team of real estate professionals that offer a comprehensive range of services, including buying, selling, and leasing residential and commercial properties. The RE/MAX Collection and RE/MAX Commercial are part of the divisions at RE/MAX Opulent.
Valentin received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lehman College. After 13 years as a family worker in the Department of Education, she started a new career in real estate. After just two years as a salesperson, Valentin decided to open up her first real estate company—All in One Realty in Dutchess County. During her first year in business, her husband Jian Gonzalez decided to resign his position as a Marketing and Operations Director for one of the largest Spanish-speaking law firms in New York City to fully support his wife on her new venture. With a heavy desire to fully grow the firm’s team, Gonzalez became a Licensed Real Estate Instructor in New York with the vision of implementing a top-notch training program at her office.
In 2019 they decided to semi-retire and move to Phoenix, AZ to start a new life. During their time in Arizona, they started a very large and successful farm animal rescue called Finding Hope Animal Sanctuary. After three years in Arizona, they decided to relocate back to New York to be closer to family. After six months leaving there, they made the decision to open a brokerage again, but now under the RE/MAX Brand. They bring more than 20 years of real estate experience.
A grand opening celebration of RE/MAX Opulent was scheduled for October 14th and was to feature a mirror photo booth, refreshments, and the opportunity to meet and greet with the RE/MAX Opulent team.
“We are delighted to welcome RE/MAX Opulent to Palisades Center,” said Darrin Houseman, General Manager of Palisades Center. “RE/MAX Opulent perfectly complements our commitment to offering a diverse range of shopping, dining, entertainment, and services under one roof. We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.”
