About BloodhoundRealty.com: Who we are and how we work
Why do we deliver so much more value for our clients? For one thing, it's a great strategy for marketing our real estate brokerage. But even before that, we love selling real estate, and we want to do the best job we can for our clients.
BloodhoundRealty.com is a boutique real estate brokerage working in Central, North Central and Suburban Phoenix. We would love to help you buy a home in Phoenix or to sell the Phoenix home you already own. If you're relocating to Phoenix, we'll show you some hi-tech tactics we've discovered to save you time and money. And if your goal is to invest in Phoenix-area rental homes, we've helped dozens of investors realize their financial goals.
We work a lot harder than the agents we compete against. As an example, take a look at everything we do to list historic, architecturally-distinctive and mid-century modern luxury homes for sale. No one does the kinds of things we do, and we're just as detail-oriented -- and exuberant! -- when we work with buyers. Day by day, task by task, home by home, we want to get as close as we can to perfect performance as Realtors -- a virtual virtuosity in real estate representation.
We write, too -- could you have guessed? BloodhoundRealty.com is our main real estate weblog, but we also publish DistinctivePhoenix.com, which is devoted to historic and architecturally-distinctive homes in Central and North Central Phoenix. Our most famous weblog, though, is BloodhoundBlog, our nationally-focused real estate industry, marketing and technology blog -- which puts us in the vanguard of hi-tech real estate brokerage.
But that's all just credentials. We're thoroughgoing Realtors, contemplative Realtors, innovative Realtors, very hard-working Realtors. We're definitely hi-tech Realtors, and the internet, surely, is the second best tool a Realtor can deploy -- and we use the internet better than any of our competitors. But the best tool -- always -- is integrity, and without integrity there is nothing.
We believe in clear, detailed, complete communication. Where other Realtors might hope to dazzle you with pretty pictures, we bend over backward to tell you the whole, unvarnished truth about real estate transactions -- how they succeed and why they sometimes fail. It can be a comfort, at times, to 'leave it to the experts.' But real estate decisions can have very costly, life-long consequences. If you want to know every detail about your transaction, we want to share them with you.
Our passion is to do the best we can do, to find the best house at the best price, to find the best-qualified buyer for your home, to negotiate the best terms, to help our clients reach the best decisions, making the best possible investment. We're not about doing deals, we're about forging relationships. We want for you, as our client, to be so delighted by our efforts that you could not conceive of working with another Realtor.
Above all, we are about family -- yours and ours. And while we might be a small business, there is nothing small -- or small-time or small-minded -- in the way we do business. We want to be your Realtor for life. We will do everything we can to make that happen.

1450 East Garfield St - an unprecedented investment opportunity in the Garfield Historic District of Downtown Phoenix
The magic number for this home is 1916. That’s the year it was built. Phoenix is a town without a past, so a home this old, properly restored, is worth a premium price. Right now it doesn’t look like much, but lovingly-restored homes in the Garfield Historic District are selling for $200,000 to $225,000. To get to that price, you’ll have to add some square footage, but you’ve got a lot of lot to build on - 6,875sf. There’s room in front for a new master suite with a more-appealing facade, and there’s more room in back for a garage — or even a pool. The property is zoned R-4, so it’s possible you could add one or more structures to the land to create a multi-family property. Or, if you want to express a vision all your own, you can appeal for permission to tear the existing structure down. We have no illusions about this property. It’s going to need a lot of work. The buyer will need a pocketful of cash or a hard-money loan. But the price is beyond belief… If you’ve been waiting for the ideal opportunity downtown, this is it. This home is surrounded by bus transportation, and it’s only a short walk to the light rail line. The I-10 freeway is right around the corner, and the new ASU medical campus is growing up on the outskirts the neighborhood. The house wants money and sweat, but the upside is huge…

Welcome home. Mid-way between Phoenix the dusty railroad town and Phoenix the vast paved suburb there was a lush oasis in the midst of the desert.

A Phoenix where children attended excellent schools and played together in the street in the late afternoon sun. Where homes as open and inviting as the horizons seemed to find their perfect completion in poolside cook-outs. Welcome back to that Phoenix. A big ranch home on a big irrigated lot, perfect for entertaining. A stately hearth, a refreshing pool. A simpler, better life.

A storied homestead in F.Q. Story… 1102 West Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85007
What matters most in an Historic Home? Surely it’s not just the age of the home — no matter how uncomfortable it might be to live in. Is it a matter of painstakingly accurate restoration? Or is the most important factor the tales the home can tell, the stories you can pass along to your guests about your home’s place in History-With-A-Capital-H?

Paint the vision of your futureon this classic canvas from the past… 922 West Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85007
Carefully-maintained over the years, this stately ranch home in the F.Q. Story Historic District offers you the space–and the spare bathrooms–you don’t often find in Historic homes. Built in 1936, the 1,766 square feet of livable space comprise 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms, depending on how you divide the space–and this doesn’t even include the huge enclosed Sun Room. The back yard is expansive, and there is a spacious Tool Shed in back. This home is eminently livable as it is, but the real challenge may be for you to take it to the next level. This is your chance to get into a Story home with ‘great bones.’ You’ll be free to make cosmetic upgrades without having to worry about the underlying structure. This is a home that will resound with memories–from its past and from the future you will build here…

Why are we showing you our past listings…?
We love these homes, and that’s reason enough. But there’s this, also: We list harder, better, more effectively than any of the Realtors we compete against. They’ll give you an MLS listing, a sign and a lockbox, maybe a flyer if you’re lucky. We’ll build a full-blown marketing strategy for your home. Our objective is to attract more buyers, more-qualified buyers, better-motivated buyers. The result is that our homes sell in less time for more money. Click here to discover the marketing tools, tactics and techniques we deploy to sell our homes — strategies none of our competitors use. What’s the implication?
