As President of Realty Executives Tucson Elite, John is responsible for the day to day operations of the Company’s Southern Arizona operations.

He was then promoted to Regional Manager and finally to VP and General Manager for that same organization. In 2005 John retired from the organization. In early 2006 John was asked to consult with two real estate brokerages in Phoenix to help them increase their overall growth and profitability, which he did until he was recruited by a national real estate company in late 2006 to establish and grow their real estate brokerage business in the southwest United States holding the position of VP and General Manager for that company.

In 2012 John joined Realty Executives Tucson Elite in a leadership role and has been a driving force in the growth of Realty Executives in Southern Arizona from one office to 10 and from 45 agents to over 400.

Anna Marie Blessing, CNC, B.Msc is the founder of Tucson Biofeedback and an Ordained Minister where she facilitates both healing and transformation in people’s lives both locally and around the world through her local and remote clinic.

Anna once suffered from the dreadful conditions of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Embarking upon a journey to heal herself this journey turned into a Life’s Mission to help others do the same. She has over 10,000 hours of specialty training and is currently finishing her doctorate.

Anna grew up in Mukilteo, WA a quaint city about 20 minutes north of Seattle. She was homeschooled, both completing high school and beginning college at 16. Anna always had a hunger for knowledge, growth and to make a difference in her own life and the lives of others. This desire to not only see a different possibility but to live it took her and her husband of 10 years on what is best deemed “the alchemist’s journey”. They opened clinics in Seattle, LA, and New England and always had the entrepreneur spirit.

This journey ultimately led them to plant their roots here in Tucson. “The 1^st weekend we came out here, we just knew this was home. And for the 1^st time, we were ready to take a break from our adventurous lifestyle and dig our roots into this city”.

People who are seeking out true and lasting change and who have exhausted all healing options are the ones who enter her doors one way and leave forever transformed.

(520) 606-0937

Raoul Garza started Enerjoust, LLC with two outdated computers, a tremendous desire to help other businesses grow and the iron-will determination only U.S. Marines have. Semper Fi! Not being in a direct marketing role in his previous jobs, Raoul decided that it would be best to study the subject in detail. Unlike most marketing consultants, Raoul studied Baptist Theology, Electrical Engineering and served in the United States Marine Corps (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom). He funded his entire education, sometimes while holding two jobs to provide for his children. If Enerjoust has an objective, they are gonna get it done! He believes that brute force is not enough, there is a logic to everything, so he does a lot of thinking and reverse engineer results.

Weeds are one of the biggest hassles in Arizona. The constant headache of the ever-popping weeds will become a thing of the past when you choose POPPY to spray your property.

Creating a sterile soil where weeds will not grow is the goal. We use a pre-emergent product that prevents weeds from growing. A pre-emergent application twice a year will keep your yard pristine and weed-free all year long. We also provide an application that eliminates existing weeds.

In addition to preventing and eliminating weeds, we offer a variety of landscaping services. Here are just a few:

Yard Maintenance
Tree Trimming
Brush Removal
Irrigation (new/repairs on existing)
Planting
Sod/Turf
Overseeding
Rocks/Gravel (all sizes)
Pavers

We’ll keep your property perfectly manicured with a maintenance program designed just for you. We’ll beautify your yard monthly, quarterly, or whatever suits your needs.
