Verani Realty Welcomes Kate & Co. to Its Hanover Office

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty continues to grow its presence in the Upper Valley with the addition of a highly respected local team.

Based in Hanover, New Hampshire, Verani Realty has welcomed Katie Ladue Gilbert and her team, Kate & Co., bringing nearly two decades of experience and a strong reputation for client-focused service to the company.

A Strategic Move Rooted in Community
For Katie Ladue Gilbert, the decision to join Verani Realty was about more than just a brokerage change. It was about finding the right environment to deepen community connections and collaborate with like-minded professionals.

After 19 years in real estate, Gilbert has built her business on a combination of smart technology, strong market knowledge, and a genuinely personal approach. That balance has helped her grow a loyal client base throughout the Upper Valley.

Her team shares that same philosophy, focusing on relationships over transactions and guiding clients through every step of the process with care and expertise.

“This partnership is set to start something extraordinary where collaboration meets community,” the team shared.

A Team Known for Experience and Approachability
Kate & Co. has earned a reputation for delivering results while maintaining a style that feels approachable, thoughtful, and responsive.

Gilbert, a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist and recipient of the 2025 Good Neighbor Award, leads the team with a mindset centered on continuous learning and client advocacy, with the team achieving $50 million in sales volume in 2025.

Supporting her is a well-rounded group of professionals, each bringing a unique perspective to the client experience:

• Shawna Fox, focused on helping clients find the right fit for their lifestyle
• Allison Griep, guiding clients through major real estate milestones
• Rachael Lapp, specializing in first-time homebuyers
• Amber Barsaleau, overseeing operations and ensuring a smooth experience behind the scenes
• Caelis McGuire, leading marketing and creative efforts
• And Sorcha, the team’s unofficial morale booster and community favorite

Together, they offer a thoughtful blend of local insight, operational strength, and personalized service.

Expanding Reach Across New Hampshire and Vermont
Previously affiliated with KW Vermont in Woodstock, Kate & Co. now gains access to the global network and advanced marketing capabilities of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

This move strengthens Verani Realty’s footprint in both New Hampshire and Vermont, particularly in the luxury and residential markets throughout the Upper Valley.

For clients, that means greater exposure, stronger marketing, and the backing of a trusted, family-owned company with decades of experience.

Continuing a Legacy of Service
Since 1967, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty has built its business on service, relationships, and local expertise. With more than 700 agents across 19 offices throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont, the company continues to grow while staying true to its roots.

The addition of Kate & Co. reflects that ongoing commitment to bringing in professionals who prioritize people, community, and long-term relationships.
