"Charlotte is the ultimate professional. She knows the market like the back of her hand. She has been in the area long enough that she also knows the background on homes and neighborhoods that others might not. Charlotte is honest, always respectful and allergic to drama. Real estate has a lot of ups and downs, and Charlotte helps both her team and her clients negotiate those with grace and ease. In addition to being a highly competent businesswoman, Charlotte is an artist. This means that she is able to envision spatial solutions that others may not be able to see. She has my absolute trust and I have no hesitations giving her my highest business and personal recommendation."

"In fifteen years of owning property in Beacon I’ve worked with several Beacon realtors; working with Charlotte Guernsey at Gatehouse Realty was far and away the best experience I’ve had. Charlotte’s knowledge of Beacon real estate and the buying/selling process is superior. She priced my building correctly, responded immediately to calls and emails, and was helpful in ways I wouldn’t have expected. I highly recommend Charlotte and her firm."
She grew up in Garrison, NY before enrolling at Rhode Island School of Design to study fine art and to cultivate her passion for transforming spaces.
Seeing opportunity in the late 1990s in Beacon, NY, Charlotte purchased an eight unit building on Main Street in her early twenties. She learned the craft of the construction business through the process of renovating her building and once complete, she opened her own real estate office in 2001.
She believed in Beacon even in its downtrodden days and sold the vision with passion and enthusiasm. Selling properties in Beacon gave way to meeting developers which led to selling some of the largest, most prominent properties in Beacon like the Roundhouse, 1 East Main Street and Churchill Street. With the help of Charlotte's intuition of real estate trends, these raw factory compounds from the industrial age went from boarded up and run down to an amazing assortment of properties including a high end hotel, restaurant and event space, stunning residential lofts and boutique shops.
Charlotte believes investing in real estate is one of the best ways to build wealth. She looks for opportunities and creative solutions for her clients that others may have overlooked. In addition to her real estate business, she also created Lambs Hill Venue and Lambs Hill Bridal Boutique using her design skills and knowledge of passive income.
Charlotte enjoys creating and designing spaces, problem solving, riding her Icelandic horses, painting, and spending time with her two young children and husband, Dennis Vetrano Jr. (who ironically runs a divorce law firm). She now leads her team of agents proudly with Compass as The Gate House Team, still at her office, on Main Street in Beacon, NY.
