Freeman's Expands with Regional Representatives in New England and Florida

Continuing its trajectory of national and international growth, Freeman’s has appointed two new regional representatives: Kate Della Monica in Florida, and Adam Bitzer in New England.

“We are continuing our ambitious expansion plans for Freeman’s,” says Fraser Niven, Freeman’s Chief Executive Officer. “At the heart of that expansion is a firm commitment to meeting and exceeding the needs of our client base. We’re delighted to appoint Adam Bitzer as Freeman’s New England regional representative, and Kate Della Monica as the company’s first regional representative in Florida; their presence will be indispensable to clients throughout the respective regions.”

Kate is available to clients seeking valuations and paths to consignment across Freeman’s many areas of specialization, spanning centuries and mediums. She is particularly attuned to consignments of jewelry, timepieces, and design objects.
Within Freeman’s Fine Art department, Adam specializes in important 19th- and 20th-century art with a specific interest in American Regionalism and Pennsylvania Impressionist work.

Freeman’s roster of regional representatives has grown over the past several years to include the New England, Washington, D.C., Midwest, Southeast, and now Florida regions. Rooted in Freeman’s dedication to bespoke client services, the regional representative program ensures attentive, specialized appraisal and consignment services across collecting categories.
