Two longtime Scarsdale real estate agents, Felicia Frey and Angela Manson, have joined Julia B. Fee Sotheby's in Scarsdale.
Frey brings over 20 years of knowledge and a concierge approach to sales to the company. Frey got her start in the real estate industry at a young age by rising to the position of Vice President of her family's real estate company before it was sold to a larger corporation. From there, Frey worked for Douglas Elliman before moving on to an associate broker and marketing position with Prudential Centennial Realty, where she worked for over 10 years. Frey stated that she chose to move to Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty due to the firm's broader worldwide network, sophisticated marketing tools and technology and exclusive media partnerships.
"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome such an accomplished agent to our Scarsdale team," said Brad Kimmelman, manager of the Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty Scarsdale brokerage. "Her love for the region certainly shines through in her dedication and passion for selling real estate. She is driven by a deep passion of the business and her proven track record truly speaks for itself. It is my pleasure to welcome Frey to the team, and I look forward to seeing the contributions she will make."
Frey currently resides in Scarsdale with her husband and two children. For 15 years she was actively involved with Scarsdale public schools, extensively volunteering in numerous PTA roles, as well as coordinating youth and educational programs. Frey earned her bachelor's degree in Psychology from Ithaca College. She is a member of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR), the New York State Association of Realtors, Women in Communications and the National Association of Realtors.
Angela Manson brings over a decade of knowledge and experience to the company.
She spent six years with Prudential Centennial Realty and prior to entering the real estate industry, she worked in marketing luxury brands for Tiffany & Co. and Christie's. Along with her husband and three children, Manson resides in Mamaroneck. Well-known for her volunteer efforts in the community, she is passionate about issues affecting children and young adults including education, health and social services. She is currently a volunteer EMT with Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps and a past PTA President of Scarsdale High School and Quaker Ridge Elementary School.
Manson chose to move to Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty due to the firm's broader worldwide network and sophisticated marketing tools and partnerships.
Kimmelman said "Manson's diverse background gives her the unique ability to meet the needs of our clients with knowledge, commitment and hard work. I look forward to supporting her business with all of the vast and powerful resources available through our company and brand."
