Meet Ria Bacigalupa

A native of Santa Fe, Ria had the unique experience of growing up in her family’s long-established art gallery and classic adobe home on Canyon Road. She is fortunate to once again call this beautiful and inspiring city home.

While living in California, Ria focused on Residential and Hospitality Design with a well-known interior design firm, followed her lifelong love of animals by continuing to volunteer for rescue organizations, and started a family. Prior to that, she pursued veterinary clinic management and operated a thriving pet-sitting business.

This background in architecture design, management, and customer service gives Ria a solid foundation for her work in real estate. She brings a strong combination of empathy, organization, and aesthetic sensibility to every transaction, ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the buying or selling process.

Ria is a member of Veritas Real Estate Partners where she balances her own clientele while also assisting the Lead Partner, Stephanie Duran. Her meticulous attention to detail and passion for organization complement the Veritas team’s dynamic and seasoned expertise. She looks forward to earning the trust of everyone she works with.

Ria has a deep appreciation for her home town’s community, history, and distinctive character. When not immersed in Santa Fe’s vibrant real estate market, she enjoys remodeling her home in the Turquoise Trail area, gardening, exploring the Southwest’s vast wilderness, and enjoying live music.
