Welcome Michele McCarthy to the Verani Family!

Margherita Verani | May 16, 2013 | In : Real Estate Agents, System Announcements | Leave a comment

Michele came to Verani from the Shanley Realtors team, where she spent many years building strong relationships with both her clients and peers. When she found herself in a position where she needed to look for a new agency, Michele was nervous that she wouldn’t find a team that functioned the same. She ended up meeting with Cindy Winthrop, the Verani Portsmouth manager, who instantly made her feel welcomed. Her fears were immediately set aside, and Michele’s excitement about the new opportunities available to her to expand her knowledge and grow her business landed her at Verani.

After 7 years of nursing school and 18 years of working intensive care, Michele decided on a career change.  To her surprise, there were many similarities between the two professions. Both involve a dynamic work environment, clear communication skills, strong attention to detail, and solid relationships with clients based on honesty and understanding. These are all important to being a successful agent and meeting the client’s real estate goals.

Michele has a deep appreciation for New Hampshire’s seacoast community where she has called home for the past 35 years. The environment has inspired her to become actively involved with local organizations, fundraisers, and community events. Her experience in wellness has also driven her to provide volunteer services in relation to health prevention and education. In her personal time, Michele enjoys gardening, various home improvement projects, visiting local shops, and spending time with friends and family.

Michele is based in the Prudential Verani Portsmouth office, located at 111 Maplewood Ave in Portsmouth, NH. She can be reached at m: 603-475-2060 and e: michele.mccarthy@verani.com.

Welcome Frank Silva to the Verani Family!

Margherita Verani | May 3, 2013 | In : Real Estate Agents, System Announcements | 1 Comment

Frank brings expertise in building and a unique perspective in construction to the Verani Realty team. He started his career in framing, but his true passion lies in building custom homes. As the owner of a successful construction company for over 30 years, and holding a REALTOR® license for the past 21, Frank is fully aware of the relationship between builder and broker.

During his years as a framer, builder, and company owner, he became interested in the idea of dealing with bank owned properties. With his background, he will have no problem adding value and appeal to any property. He understands that sometimes builder and brokers are on different pages; he has a unique talent, not only for seeing both perspectives, but for bringing everyone back together on a plan. His past experiences with clients have given him an understanding of what is most valued in a home.

Frank is excited for what’s to come during his time with Verani Realty. He has a sincere appreciation for the industry and enjoys finding people their perfect home, whether it’s out on the marker on built himself. He hopes to build lasting relationships and a continued reputation in the community as a trusted, detail-oriented, and reliable resource.

Margherita Verani | Apr 24, 2013 | In : Real Estate Agents, System Announcements | Leave a comment

Nicole always had a deep interest in Real Estate and after going through the buying process with a fellow Verani agent last July, she was motivated to finally get her license. Prior to joining Verani Realty, Nicole worked in direct sales along with 14 years as a dental assistant. When it was time to choose an agency of her own, Nicole was confident in her choice to go with Verani. She knew first hand that they stand true to their reputation of being the best in the area.

Outside of work, Nicole describes herself as an “outdoors woman.” Some of her favorite activities include fishing, camping, horseback riding, and target practice.

Welcome Bethany Dubeck to the Verani Family!

Margherita Verani | Apr 10, 2013 | In : Real Estate Agents, System Announcements | Leave a comment

Bethany entered into the real estate industry after realizing the large corporate work place wasn’t for her. With an entrepreneurial spirit, she liked the idea that her success depended solely on her efforts. Becoming a Realtor® was the perfect situation for her because of her interest in land and houses along with the independent environment and flexible hours.

In Bethany’s community, Verani has long held an excellent reputation. When choosing an agency, she was confident that Verani would provide her with the tools she needed to grow and develop in her career. Bethany wanted to associate herself with an organization she is proud of. Since Verani clearly holds the lion’s portion of the local market share, there was no doubt she came to the right place.

In addition to real estate, Bethany is a mentor at Holistic Ferret forums where she helps owners improve the quality of their ferrets’ lives through dietary changes. She also enjoys reading fantasy and science fiction genres and playing tabletop games. You can find her making an occasional appearance on her boyfriend’s YouTube show about tabletop games.

Bethany feels that she is in a rewarding and fulfilling business to make something of herself.  She is a free spirit who genuinely cares about the outcome for her clients, “because it’s not just a house, it’s a home.”

Bethany is based in the Prudential Verani Nashua office, located at 175 Amherst Street in Nashua, NH. She can be reached at m: 603-554-5848 and e: bethany.dubeck@verani.com.
