Personal Background
I grew up in Irving Texas. After high school I attended Whittier College located in Whittier California where I met my husband Scot Sauder.  After living and working in the Los Angeles area and the Dallas /Fort Worth metro plex we moved to Albuquerque 20 years ago. We have loved every moment of it. We enjoy spending time outside so the Albuquerque weathersuits us well. Bicycling, 2 horses and 2 corgi's keeps us busy. The mother of two wonderful daughters; Ainsley the sports fanatic who graduated from the University of Alabama and received masters at TEXAS A & M,  to complete an internship at UCONN in the athletic department and now worksfor the University of Pittsburgh in Athletic Equipment. Heather the horse fanatic graduated May 2011 from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, received her Masters of Science in Mechanical Enginearing from the University of Wyoming and is currently at Iowa State getting her PHD in Wind Energy research and development; a division of Aerospace Engineering.  Both daughters found colleges by searching on www.farfrommom.com (only kidding).

Testimonials:
"VERONICA WAS FANTASTIC! Veronica is a "gym friend" of my mom's and I was nervous about using her. Her being in the Elite 25 and me being a first time home buyer in below $150,000 range, I figured I'd treated like some "second class" buyer. NOT SO!!! Up to $350,000 price range in Albuquerque is really hot right now (selling in 24 hours or less), so one has to move fast. She kept on top of all the new listings in my price range, found time in her busy day to see houses I was interested in the same day they listed, several months later, I AM A FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER!! GREAT WORK VERONICA!! " -Brandon D.
