About Us
JANINA CARLONA
In 2004 I moved to New Mexico from Connecticut where I had worked in the Architectural Sales and Technical Support Department of a multi-million dollar internationally-based manufacturer. I worked extensively with Engineers, Architects and Contractors designing product to meet their applications. This required the ability to convey technical information to my customers, pay attention to detail and above all else listen to what they were saying.
I brought this experience to my Real Estate career. To be a successful Realtor you must develop a good working relationship and a sense of trust with your client. Most importantly, above all else, listen, listen, listen to your client. My strong work ethic and customer service skills have been the backbone to my success. I am results-oriented and whether you are buying or selling you can be assured that I will be there with you every step of the way.
Interests:
In my free time I enjoy knitting, hand spinning, weaving and Colcha embroidery. Tuesdays (when able) I volunteer at the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum demonstrating hand spinning. I also enjoy going out with my husband on our Harleys.
Designations and Achievements:
GRI – Graduate Realtor Institute
AHWD – At Home With Diversity
SFR – Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource
2012 Treasurer, Las Cruces Association of Realtors
2012 Board of Directors, Las Cruces Association of Realtors.

Gabriel and Cristal Duran
My name is Gabriel Duran Jr. I am a native of Las Cruces NM. I served in the United States Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Graduated from New Mexico State University with a Bachelor’s in Government/Law & Society and a Masters Degree in Public Administration. I am the founder and CEO of an up-and-coming Nonprofit organization called BUDS (Bring Up Dads), which is an educational/support organization for all families in New Mexico with a goal to strengthen the support for our youth and combat poverty, crime, and educational issues in New Mexico. Some of you may also know me from coaching youth sports (baseball, football, soccer, basketball, and football) here in Las Cruces.
My partner (Cristal Duran) and I decided to take up Real Estate because we both have quality experience in business, marketing, sales, but most importantly, we wanted the opportunity to assist others in buying and selling real estate in our hometown. We not only assist our customers through the process of buying and selling, but we make sure that we do it “the right way” by always staying available to answer questions or find any answers they may have. One of the things that sets us apart from others is our willingness to go the extra mile for our customers and our business whether it be meeting our clients for a showing at most any time or going door to door to reach out our services. We advise our customers on all their options throughout the transaction. We take every step necessary to ensure our clients are satisfied with their sales and purchases and that they understand every step of the process. Our customers can take advantage of our marketing platforms which carry over 6000 followers! Buying and selling a home is a big deal for most of us so we make sure our clients are receiving a fair and professional transaction. Please see our reviews from our past/current customers.
I have experience in real estate residential, commercial, and land. As a veteran, I have personal and professional passion and experience with VA Loans and other program pertaining to veterans and their families.
My family has deep roots in New Mexico and I care greatly for the land and the people of our State. Let me know when YOUR ready to embark on the excited journey of buying and selling your property or home!
Thank You,
Gabriel Duran Jr.

After over 30 years in Chicago, the family figured the time is now to tune in & live in their dream home. She is an endurance sports enthusiast with multiple marathon and triathlon finishes.

As a native Las Crucen and the surrounding area, I am very familiar with the neighborhoods and the people of this friendly city. Just as we in Desert Blossoms Realty “Treat You like Family”, the people of this city greet you with a hug. I understand the importance and trust given to me when you decide to buy or sell your home and property. I came to be a Realtor with the goal of using my unique experience and insight to better assist you. This is my focus, and hope that your experience throughout will be a little less stressful and maybe enjoyable.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various related fields to Real Estate, such as Land Surveying, Civil/Environmental Engineering, and Residential Construction & Design. I have also personally designed home construction drawings and seen them through to completion of the house. When I walk through a house with potential Buyers, I can point out positive construction features along with bad or possibly dangerous issues with that property. When I work with those wishing to Sell their home, I give them straight and honest advice of what improvements might benefit them for the given expense. This construction and technical experience and insight, I believe are great assets in assisting you to purchase or sell your home and property.
On a more personal note, I enjoy the great outdoors; camping, fishing and hunting. I love to go riding my Indian motorcycle throughout the area and nearby mountain ranges. I am retired from Honeywell and an alumni of New Mexico State University. I have met so many interesting people and value their friendships and experiences.
If you have any questions about selling or would like to set up an appointment to view a home you’re interested in, please call my cell at (575) 640-8575 or email me at Chris.DBRealty@gmail.com.
Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. Have a blessed day!
