"We are so proud of JP and all of her accomplishments," said Matt Rand, managing partner of Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty. "We know she will be a huge asset to all of NYSAR, as she is to our team." "It's a very exciting time for our industry," Endres-Fein said.

Endres-Fein mentors sales agents, provides training and assists with recruiting in Rand Realty's White Plains office. She concentrates on the White Plains and Scarsdale markets, which she has served for more than 20 years. Prior to joining Rand Realty, Endres-Fein was the co-owner of Homes of Westchester.
