November REALTOR Safety Tip
Bring up the rear
When showing a home, always have your prospect walk in front of you. Don’t lead them, but rather, direct them from a position at least 3-4 arm lengths behind them. You can gesture for them to go ahead of you and say, for example, “The main bedroom is in the back of the house.”

Recorded live at the NXT Conference in Houston, this episode of Advocacy Scoop breaks down the new government funding deal that ends the shutdown, what it means for housing programs and the real estate market, and how recent election results will guide NAR’s advocacy priorities heading into 2026.

Up Close With Board Member Lisa Cancro
Hello, I’m Lisa Cancro, Owner/Broker of Taos Properties. For the past two decades, I have had the privilege and a delight to work alongside my husband, John, as my trusted collaborated and partner. We have recently been thrilled to expand our boutique firm by welcoming our daughters Alex and Olivia. Alex is an Associate Broker who also provides professional photography for our clients, and Olivia is the creative energy behind the Taos Properties brand, managing all of our advertising and graphic design work. Working together as a multi-generational team makes my work not only fun but truly exciting and rewarding!
My commitment to the real estate profession is reflected in my service as the Chairperson of the MLS Committee for the past two years. I actively participate in the MLS Board meetings every month; reporting updates, changes, and key conversations from our meetings. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with fellow Realtors and to serve my clients in this ever-changing real estate environment.
Away from the office, I am always seeking my next adventure! I recently enjoyed sailing in the stunning British Virgin Islands with friends and just returned from a spectacular week in Paris, filled with art tours, cultural explorations, and many great meals. When I’m home, I prioritize family time, which often involves cooking big family meals along with baking my Lil’ Mama’s Granola (which can be found in local shops in town). One of my favorite past times is engaging in competitive rounds of Mahjong with friends & family! I’m also a committed Board member for the non-profit Bridges for Education.
You can find me in our Historic building downtown behind the plaza. Please come by to say hello!.
