Vanessa Saunders does not just list homes. She expands the market for them.

With more than 24 years of real estate experience, including over 20 years in New York and 15 years as a licensed broker, Vanessa brings a level of strategy, negotiation skill, and market perspective that is rare in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and White Mountains. She specializes in attracting out-of-market buyers, including those relocating from major metro areas and abroad, because the strongest buyer is often not the closest one. Expanding the buyer pool is what creates competition, strengthens leverage, and drives better results.

In a region where many agents market property to the same audience in the same ways, Vanessa’s approach is deliberately different. She focuses not just on who is already looking, but on who should be looking. Through targeted marketing, smart positioning, and high-level presentation, she connects distinctive homes with buyers who may not yet know the Lakes Region exists, but immediately understand its value when they see it.

Originally from Wales and shaped by life and business across three continents, Vanessa combines international perspective with deeply personal representation. Her background spans global brokerage, business marketing, and complex negotiations, giving clients an advantage that extends well beyond the local market. She has represented everyone from first-time buyers to high-net-worth clients, always with the same principle at the center: protect the client’s interests with skill, discretion, and integrity.

Vanessa holds two master’s degrees, an MBA focused on business marketing and a Master of International Mass Communications, along with executive study at MIT in Blockchain Technologies: Business Innovation and Application. She is also Cordon Bleu certified, which may not help with a home inspection, but does suggest an appreciation for quality, precision, and timing.

Now proudly aligned with Maxfield Real Estate, Vanessa specializes in luxury homes, lakefront properties, lifestyle moves, and high-touch representation throughout the Lakes Region and White Mountains.

Because representation is not about geography. It is about judgment.

And in a market where too many agents rely on familiarity, Vanessa brings reach, strategy, and a broader field of vision.

Broader reach. Better positioning. Smarter representation.
