Down to Earth, Persistent, Task Oriented

As the President of Prudential Verani, I am thrilled at the strength, growth, and position of our firm. As a leader in New Hampshire real estate, I am humbled by the quality of our agents and staff, and can’t imagine a better, more professional, and fun group of people to work with. And on most days, this even includes my brother, who is our Vice President.

I started in this business nearly 40-years ago, and have held every position from receptionist to sales agent, to office manager. I love that we have a national affiliation, but have remained a family owned and run business for over 40-years.

Often times, before people get to know me, they get the impression that I’m not very social. However, that’s not the case at all. I tend to be very focused and task oriented, so I just don’t have a lot of time for small talk. After getting to know me, you’ll find that I’m very down to earth. As a matter of fact, the earth and I are very good friends… meeting face to face too often as I get thrown from my horse!

In my spare time, I enjoy (attempting) horseback riding, hiking, travelling, and scuba diving. I have been married for over 30-years, and have two teenage sons. Londonderry, NH has always been my home.

I am the Vice President of Prudential Verani, and have been in the business for nearly 20 years. I initially started with residential sales, and eventually found a niche in the commercial world. Over the years, I have continued to focus on our commercial division, in addition to growing our firm and staying ahead of the technology curve.

Although we are a leader in New Hampshire Real Estate, I am proud of the quality and integrity of our team. As a family owned business, it is important to me that we work not only as a team, but as a family. On any given day, our agents can get a first hand lesson on “family communication” by sitting near my office. My sister and I use our voices as the intercom, and find it most effective to add hand gestures to our conversations. It’s not your typical “executive office,” but we’ve proven that it works…and it gives our agents some comic relief!

On a personal level, I consider myself to be an avid outdoorsman, and enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, gardening, scuba diving… pretty much anything outside. Londonderry, NH is, and always has been, my home. I am married with two adorable small children. They keep me laughing, grounded, and exhausted! Please feel free to tell me if you ever see a Cheerio stuck to my body.

CCO – Chief Cheery Officer

With “Learn One New Thing” as my mantra, I have been enthusiastically embracing real estate changes since 1980, with my roots in new construction and as a director of operations for a large residential building company and an architect husband. I have new homes and dirt in my blood. I love helping people to develop their business and become successful. In my spare time, I can be found traveling and never getting bored while exploring nooks and crannies of European countries and meeting new people. I do not sit still for too long and you might catch me cross country skiing, walking, hiking or golfing.

Prudential Verani is a great aggregator of information, and the tools are already in place. We take care of all that for you, so you are not recreating the wheel. We've tested it, proved it and put systems in place to support an agent in creating their own success. We make your life easier. Included in our mission statement is that we seek a healthy life balance, so we offer a life balance perspective, plus the most efficient way of doing business. We have a feel good atmosphere here and if you are not enjoying what you do – why bother?

CGO – Chief Grumpy Officer “The Internet and real estate were made for each other.”

From the time I graduated from St. Anselm College, forty plus years ago, I’ve been in real estate. Some around here say I have dirt in my veins.

During these years, I’ve built it, wrecked it, remodeled it, subdivided it, restored it, paved it, lent against it, foreclosed it, sold it, promoted it, and then resold it again.

And then along came the Internet; what a perfect match for real estate. Growing your real estate business is now my business, but beware; I can get a little grumpy if you don’t share my passion.

My philosophy is that there is nothing we can control in life except the kindness you show to the people you interact with every day. I am a true believer in "outside the box" thinking, and am the most honest, loyal, dedicated realist who goes the extra mile for the betterment of our employees. Always a problem solver; I look for the most efficient way to approach any task at hand. I enjoy working at Prudential Verani because of the ownership, our bosses. You might not get everything right, but you are never completely wrong with them. The leadership is very approachable and I am never afraid to ask questions. I am thankful for the technology here that allows me to do business via the phone, e-mail and webcam.

My husband and I are both blessed to work for family-orientated companies that allow us to use our skills and intelligence to be the best we can be. Our daughter graduated with honors from the military academy and is now married with three beautiful boys of her own. I cherish time with family because there is a vast difference in our locations with us living in New Hampshire, and she and her family located in Alaska.

Adventurous, Witty, Passionate “I believe in enjoying life to the fullest, both personally and professionally.”

Want to be a part of the most productive office in New Hampshire? We have a great team and a great culture where everyone is genuinely interested in each other being successful. Personally, I’ve enjoyed phenomenal success in real estate as an agent, but what I enjoy more is teaching and encouraging others, like you, to live life to the fullest. I leverage over 25-years of senior level executive sales and marketing experience having also served Fortune 100 companies all over the world. If you’re ready to grow; I want to be your coach. It’s clear to people who know me, it’s not about just selling another house. It’s about creating a business for yourself that you enjoy and sustain while having a life.

On a personal level, I was born and raised on a farm, knee deep in you know what (very similar to real estate some days). My wife and I are raising four children, homeschooling them all, and currently have one off to college. I like high energy activities such as mountain biking, skiing and snowmobiling, and I also enjoy hiking, hunting and camping. I take an active interest in New Hampshire politics and the church. As they say in our state, “don’t whistle too loud or the cows will come running and that ain’t good for their milk.” Aye Ya.

Driven, Passionate, Entrepreneurial

As Director of Marketing, Debra oversees the creation, development, and execution of innovative marketing techniques, concepts, and campaign strategies for the firm. She’s been affiliated with Prudential Verani Realty for many years in various capacities from Residential Marketing Broker to her most recent role as Regional Manager of the Bedford Center.

Prior to entering the real estate industry, Debra’s passion for real estate emerged when she owned an advertising, marketing and PR firm of which clientele included major real estate firms and developers throughout the Northeast.

Ever thankful.

If I could only sing, I'd be your rock star. Believe it or not, almost as exciting to me, is this game called real estate. I say game only because I love games, serious games. When one's work is play, that is the ultimate blessing. Where else can you daily:

• Meet wonderfully diverse people

• Participate in events that have a significant impact on one's lifestyle and investments,

• Recruit associates and offer them a career with freedom and no income limit?

I've had positions in technology, business consulting, operations management, marketing, and human resources. However, none enabled me to incorporate all my skills and have such a rewarding experience. Yes, I'd love to be lying on a sun drenched beach, frolicking in the sand, perspiring profusely in need of spritzing, but those fantasies will become reality later. For now, beyond my professional life, I am ever thankful for my grown children. While my daughter seeks to figure everyone and everything out as she aspires to be New Hampshire’s next CSI, my son is on his way to being a rock star cutting his first CD.

So contemplating a career in real estate? Come one and all if you can multi-task with your eyes shut, have a Droid®, are organized but have catlike response skills, and know that you'll never know it all! Continuous learners need fervently apply!

Multi-tasker extraordinaire, humorous, grounded

I have the perfect job!

I have been in some facet of real estate since 1985. I started my real estate career at a company that specialized in new construction sales in Nashua, NH. I soon learned that new home sales would become my passion. I held positions in on-site sales, project management, sales management, and ventured out on my own as a developer/builder in 1991. After a very challenging market and learning experience, I returned to residential sales as a sales manager in Windham, NH

One cup of coffee in 2005 from Deb Gallant and Maggie Verani and I found my perfect job here at Prudential Verani. I have never been with a real estate company that offered so many tools, training, and support from the best of the best in this industry. Although stressful at times, I find myself having so much fun at work. Working with Deb and Maggie is sometimes like being in a comedy show; they keep me laughing but focused and challenged each and every day.

On a personal note, I am a proud mom of an amazing daughter who is very active in basketball, softball, and soccer. She helps keep me grounded. When not doing real estate and mommy stuff you will find me at yoga class, meditating or practicing Reiki and energy work on family and friends. You will also find me in the ‘wine room’ hanging out with neighborhood friends. Pelham, NH has always been my home except for the seven houses I built and moved in and out of over the years!

Ever since the purchase of my first home, I’ve had a passion for real estate. My early career began working with children and adults with development disabilities and helping others.

Being associated with Prudential Verani gives me the opportunity to actively recruit and coach our agents who can continuously benefit from our comprehensive training and agent centered infrastructure. As a progressive company, we are leaders in the industry, partly because the tools that our agents have at their hands give them the competitive edge to be market leaders.

I am a licensed broker in New Hampshire and Maine and have a sales license in Massachusetts. My main area of focus is in residential sales, fine homes, investment properties and second homes.

Born and bred in New Hampshire, I’m aware of all the nooks and crannies of the seacoast and can point out the best summertime decks to enjoy all that the area has to offer.

I love sailing, traveling and a good bottle of wine with family and friends. I also enjoy spending time at the beach with my partner and our boxer Charlie, who keeps us on the run. Anyplace in the Caribbean calls my name. Kicking back in the sand, sun and with a good book in hand is my kind of vacation.

You will never see me in the kitchen. The only thing I can make for dinner is a reservation. Instead, you’ll find me frequenting many of the local restaurants to enjoy a good meal. My friends describe me as quick-witted and fun. As the regional manager for the seacoast area; I want to ensure the success of those who work here.

Currently I co-manage the Seacoast Regional offices including Portsmouth Regional Center, Hampton, Exeter, and Epping. I bring 20+ years of sales and marketing management to Prudential Verani Real Estate. As an agent working for Prudential, I was a top producer and award winner since 2004. I specialized in New Construction and Fine Home Sales in the Seacoast of New Hampshire.

I spent the early part of my career in the high-tech industry where I built from scratch sales and marketing teams with start-up technology companies. My experience as a COO in the technology industry provided me with a depth of knowledge that works great with Prudential Verani’s leading edge technology platform.

I can make agents' and consumers' lives easier by helping them take advantage of great tools such as the Verani Seller Advantage, Customer for Life, Prudential Platform, and our own CRM (Customer Relationship Management System), which helps keep the communication open between buyers, agents, sellers and YOU! Please contact me if you need assistances in exploring a Career with the Seacoast Region of Verani.

I am highly competitive and always looking for the win. Mentally I'm already developing strategies in my mind about how and what I need to do to surpass the goal. I'm diligent, loyal, detail-oriented and always researching or taking classes to learn new laws, policies and regulations. I am supportive of my team and I am a director on the Concord Board of Realtors.

Here is a testimonial that Maggie and Gianni Verani recently received.

"I know when times are slow, people find more free time to complain about anything and everything. I wanted to take a minute to tell you about our "fearless leader," Kathy. She is the most amazing woman I have ever met. She is loyal, honest, and dedicated to the Prudential Verani team. Kathy has a way about her that makes everyone feel like they are special. Her door is a revolving one, and she's always there to listen and lend a helping hand. When she's not helping one of the agents, she's strategizing about how to grow the company and our success. She’s a motivating "bubble" that bounces from agent to agent spreading her wisdom and encouragement. The best part about Kathy is her kind heart, her generosity. We all truly love her.”

When I'm not working, I'm all about family. I was the oldest child in a military family. We traveled quite a bit and as a result we learned that the one constant and important factor was the bond of family. That quality has been passed on to my children. My husband and I have three grown and married children and seven grandchildren that we absolutely love spending time with. When I have time, I love flower gardening and interior design.

I am a native New Englander and have lived in New Hampshire since 1974. I have three great kids and five grandkids. They are the apples of my eyes. When I am not taking my grandkids to Disney World, or as they call it, Mickey’s house, I enjoy spending time on the seacoast and traveling.

Prudential Verani Commercial since 1994, Manager since 2004,

2008 President – NH Commercial & Investment Board of Realtors

Ok, I admit it. I’m driven by success – both my own and the agents that I work with at Prudential Verani Commercial. I can’t help it. I love to win! Whenever I have participated in a significant transaction, I’m very pumped up and can’t wait to get to the next one. After my years as a Wall Street broker, I was lucky to have met and be mentored by Ozzie Verani. I now coach agents the same way: learn the fundamentals and work some deals together.

I celebrate my fellow agent’s success. Sharing marketing strategies and transaction skills, market knowledge, and working side by side with them on listings. Yes, commercial services can be difficult at times, but this only makes the successes so much sweeter. Since I have been with Prudential Verani, we’ve grown from one office to more than fifteen locations. From this strong base, there is no visible limit to where our growth can take us. Come grow with us! So, if you enjoy hard work and the success that it produces, this is the place to be.

Approachable, Adaptable, Accountable

“A positive attitude brings strength, energy and initiative.”

I got into real estate in 1991 needing to “get out of the house” and I knew almost immediately that I had found my calling. Little did I realize what I was really getting into (can you say recession??) but the small company that I joined gave me the opportunity to learn the business while running the office and I soon saw that there was only one way for the market to go…UP! The rest, as they say, is history. 2007 presented a new challenge…it was time to take my career to a new level. My very first meeting with Deb Paone (Verani Salem manager) confirmed that I had found what I was looking for.

Prudential Verani was committed to being the best of the best…in everything that was important to me and that was where I wanted to be. My subsequent meetings with Maggie and Gianni established the sincerity of their mission statement and my new path was defined. As with every transaction, you will learn something new every day…there is no such thing as “status quo” at Prudential Verani. I love the challenge and the reward of being a part of the best real estate team in New England.

Success as a manager can be defined in many ways…being approachable is key to building a working relationship with agents and fellow management team members. Working together makes everyone better and it solidifies loyalty. Being adaptable takes form in problem solving, rising above daily challenges, figuring out a better way, fulfilling a need, seeing the big picture, continuous learning to maneuver through a challenging marketplace. Being accountable wraps it all together…thus, becoming a leader.

My first love is my husband of 30+ years and our four children. Their life successes will continue to be my solace and joy. Lovingly referred to as “the bionic woman” by my family, I love watching baseball (especially when one of my son’s is pitching), going to the beach with my daughters and poking around obscure places looking for antiques and pieces of furniture to refinish with my husband, Jim. As a transplant from NJ, we have made Pelham, NH our home since 1982 and love all that the small town atmosphere offers. It’s heaven on earth. I also love vacationing any time in the Adirondacks, sitting lakeside or in front of a roaring fire with my family and enjoying a fine Cabernet.

“I sold my first house at the age of 20!” Jennifer has only had one career – real estate. Beginning as a rental agent in the 1980s, she moved on to residential sales and branch management, spending a few years originating mortgages and appraising. She now focuses on relocation and referrals. Jennifer believes that every referral counts and knows the business of moving - from helping a family locate school information to helping agents understand the IRS guidelines for relocation transactions.

“I believe in the Golden Rule. So each time I work with a human resources manager or a relocation counselor, I’m trying to put myself in their shoes and solve their challenges. When talking with someone who is moving, I feel it is important to answer their concerns and find the humor in what can be a stressful situation. I can be the generalist and give an overview of the local market, but then it is our expert associates who are the specialists, who really provide the service and expertise. They really make a difference in the quality of the move.”

Jennifer lived in four different states growing up, so she understands the adventure and apprehension of relocating! She has called New Hampshire home since 1992 and enjoys the five (spring, summer, fall, winter and mud) seasons and the picturesque countryside while staying close to all the conveniences. In her free time, Jennifer can be found at the library, skiing, solving a puzzle, remodeling her house (I wish I could stop!) or practicing yoga.

Knowledgeable and responsive.

I began my career in real estate in 1987 just as the “boom” was ending. At the time, I had two sons approaching college age. We had just moved to New Hampshire from Atlanta.

Real estate seemed interesting to me. I decided to go to return to UNH to complete a degree in business management as well as getting a real estate license.

As an REO specialist, I represent the banks as sellers that own foreclosed properties. In 1989, I was given an opportunity to work on one FannieMae listing and the rest “as they say” is history. From there, I have built a strong reo business with many bank clients. After working in other areas of real estate sales and management, here I am again back in the REO business.

My husband Bob and I work together. Since he retired from the FBI, he has been working in real estate. We are very busy so we make it a priority to take time for enjoying ourselves. We like to travel, especially to the beach. We love to spend time with our family, our son Todd, his wife Lyn, and their three children, Caroline, six, Dylan, three, and Katie, born Sept. 2010 in Maryland, and our son Tim, who lives in Wyoming.

In 2002, Todd, Tim, my husband and I participated in the “Grand Adventure,” climbing the Grand Teton – 14,700 feet. It was a fabulous experience and put me totally out of my comfort zone. This adventure included climbing school, scaling walls – ropes and all. Achieving this with the four of us together was the greatest highlight for me.

We have a summer cottage in the Monadnock area on Island Pond. We like to kayak, canoe, swim and hike. We enjoy the quiet and the view. I am an avid reader, play the piano, like to sew and do jigsaw puzzles. Bob and I enjoy gardening. Bob and I also spend time as Directors for The New Hampshire Dream Factory, an organization that makes dreams come true for chronically and critically ill children in New Hampshire.

I am no stranger to Information Technology and Real Estate, having been part of Prudential Verani Realty since 1999. I grew up in the industry with a mother who was a Realtor® at Prudential Verani Realty for over 20 years.

Before joining Prudential Verani, I earned my B.S. degree in Information Technology at Southern New Hampshire University. I feel I bring a mix of up-to-date technologies and solid Real Estate knowledge to the company.

I reside in Manchester with my husband Dean, and our three golden retrievers.

I have been involved in real estate for more than half my life. After talking to friends who recommended that I try real estate as another career path, I took the licensing course and the test. In less than two years in the business, I was offered a management job with no real pay. I took it, finding I liked working with agents.

Recruiting new agents is a large part of my position with Prudential Verani. I recommend that agents join us all the time. I believe this is a good choice, to be part of a company that provides the necessary tools to assist agents in establishing themselves. If you are looking to fast forward your career in real estate, if this is what you want to do with your life, then you should be here.

In what spare time I have, I love going to the northern woods. My husband and I have a summer place there and we like to fish and just to be outdoors. Here on the seacoast, I enjoy relaxing on the beach. I like to sit with my beach chair at the water’s edge as the tide comes in. A drive to the beach for Tripoli Pizza or greasy onion rings is a mere 30 minutes away.

Anyone who enjoys playing board games as much as I do is invited for scrabble or checkers. I enjoy spending a quiet morning on the porch with my cat “Bootsie” or on a Saturday evening watching old movies on TV with my with my Mom who is now 80-years-old.
