REALTOR® Safety Tip
Open house: It ain’t over till it’s over. Don’t assume that everyone has left the premises at the end of an open house. Check all of the rooms and the backyard prior to locking the doors. Be prepared to defend yourself, if necessary. (find a copy online at https://www.nar.realtor/safety)

Up Close With Board Member Jade Anaya
Jade Anaya is a dedicated real estate professional and proud board member of ECAR, but her story is rooted in family, adventure, and a deep connection to Northern New Mexico. A Taos native, Jade moved to Delray Beach, Florida at 19, then lived and worked in the heart of New York City by 21. After gaining life experience in two vibrant cities, she returned home to be close to her family and raise her two children in the community that shaped her.
Now a mother of two and proud grandmother of one, Jade finds joy in balancing her professional life with time spent with loved ones, live music, and exploring the natural beauty of the Southwest.
Serving on the ECAR Board allows her to give back to the real estate community she values so deeply supporting her fellow brokers and helping maintain the integrity and strength of the profession in Northern New Mexico.
