Lisa was amazing during the entire experience of purchasing our
El Prado/Taos home. She was always available and happy to answer any questions and help walk us through the process while maintaining a level of calm and "zen" that we could all benefit from. I would use Taos Properties again in a heartbeat!

Lisa was patient enough to work with us for a year and a half to find our awesome horse property in Arroyo Hondo. Our search was unusual in that most of it took place during the pandemic, and Lisa was still able to schedule showings for all properties we were interested in. Lisa guided us to property we needed, helped us through the mortgage process, referred us to vendors, and made the process easy for us. We love Taos, the property, and cant wait for the opportunity to spend more time there.

We feel beyond grateful having worked with Lisa and John to buy our first house. Their dedication to clients is apparent every step of the way and we couldn't have imagined a better or more supportive process. To say we recommend Taos Properties is an understatement; they'll not only find you the perfect house, they'll make you feel at home.Thank you to the whole team!

John & Lisa Cancro were the perfect agents for me. They told me what I needed to do to get the property ready for sale, they provided quality contractors to get the work done, and they were always available o answer my questions and tell me what to expect in the next step in the sale process. They are the best.
