Your Taos Real Estate Advocate

With a strong foundation in business and over two decades of professional experience, I bring a calm, informed approach to real estate in Taos County.

Taos is made up of vibrant communities, each with its own character and charm, from the historic adobe streets within the Town of Taos to the artistic vibe of Arroyo Seco, the slopeside energy of Taos Ski Valley, and the scenic expanses of El Prado.

Whether you're browsing homes for sale in Taos, considering selling your property, or simply exploring the latest market reports, I’m here to offer honest guidance, responsive communication, and dedicated support from start to finish. My goal is to make your real estate journey as smooth, transparent, and successful as possible.

“As a fellow real estate agent in Florida, I had the pleasure of referring John Cornish in Taos, NM to my parents to sell their home. John went above and beyond what a real estate agent's duties entail. We worked together for 3 years to get my parent's property ready to sell. He met with contractors, provided quotes, and oversaw much of the repair process. John guided us every step of the way with professionalism, patience, and kindness. His communication skills are excellent and his leadership made the process smooth from start to finish. Thanks to John's expertise and guidance, the property was under contract within a week above list price. I highly recommend John Cornish! Best experience ever!”
