Anna Vanderlaan

Luxury Home Advisor and Local Ambassador

Mastering the Art of Real Estate Sales with 28 years of experience in residential, investment, land, and commercial property sales and development. Honesty, accurate information and a low-pressure approach are keys for both Buyers and Sellers to make fully informed and intelligent decisions in a historical and complex real estate market.

Santa Fe housing is not a mainstream market. It is a unique blend of creativity, aesthetic, sophistication, science, cultural diversity, outdoor activity, and leisure. With an eye toward client personal preferences and realistic small market limitations I help Buyers and Sellers achieve their real estate investment goals and lifestyle choices. A one day customized tour of the market helps newcomers understand relative market values enabling them to make fully informed realistic decisions.

My business is not about the number of listings I have, rather it is focused on a personalized service that helps people reach their desired goal. I maintain a 94% success rate in selling the properties I list, which is one of the highest rates in the industry. A no obligation market consultation will help Sellers make informed decisions on the benefits of accurate evaluations, optional staging services, excellent marketing program, and thorough investigation into the unique conditions of each property to achieve optimal market value.

My service is to understand each clients' goals and needs and making that journey as comfortable and successful as possible.

Catherine Griffith

Luxury Home Advisor and Local Ambassador

Cathy developed her sales and marketing skill set during positions of increasing managerial responsibility with leaders in the restaurant and soft drink industries (including both PepsiCo and Coca Cola). These highly competitive corporate environments taught her the importance of building effective communications with clients, customers and business partners—and in developing win-win solutions with them. Inclusive negotiations tend to produce effective agreements.

Corporate life also presented Cathy with the challenges and benefits of cross-country moves-finding the right homes in the right neighborhoods with the right schools for her two daughters. So, she understands first-hand not only the stresses of the relocation process, but the benefits as well. She also understands that an appropriate sense of humor can help build a sense of balance during the sometimes stressful, yet wonderful, home buying or selling process. And Cathy’s proud that clients become friends.

Cathy earned a B.S. degree in Economics from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and spent her junior year at the University of Reading (England) and Oxford.

Beyond real estate, Cathy has been actively involved in community service and local initiatives. She served as a board member for the Buckaroo Ball, a treasured Santa Fe tradition since 1995 that has raised over $8 million to support at-risk children and teens. The event funds vital programs such as Cooking with Kids, Girls on the Run, The Sky Center for Crisis and Suicide Prevention, and Consuelo’s Place. Each working to empower and uplift young people through education, wellness, crisis support, and safe housing.

Cathy also serves on the Santa Fe Prep Boosters Board/Executive Committee, where she was Vice President for 2024–2025 and is the President for 2025 - 2026. The Boosters raise approximately $60,000 annually to support the Santa Fe Prep Athletics Department, funding coaching development, uniforms, scoreboards, travel buses, and equipment for the school’s teams.
