There’s always something to howl about

How can you laugh when you know I’m down?

We suffered a four-plus hour server crash this morning. Second time this month, and with my Mac failures on top of that, I am quite ready to be rid of February. My apologies if you tried to visit and were unable to get in.

It always seems to happen all at the same time.

Inventing Real Estate 2.0

Welcome to BloodhoundBlog, the national real estate industry marketing and technology weblog written by, for and about real estate professionals. Better yet, welcome to the wired world of real estate. We are busily inventing Real Estate 2.0 — technology, marketing, service and salesmanship. Like all Bloodhounds, we are smart, frisky and fiercely independent. We've built a spot on the earth — beloved over all — where each one of us can be who we are, no matter who that might be. We are committed to an idea of excellence that will flush the bums, the con-men and the crybabies out of the real estate industry. If you yearn to have your failures excused, your moral lapses absolved or your boo-boos kissed, seek elsewhere. But if you are sick to death of mediocrity — welcome home. Read all about us, subscribe to our feed and steel yourself for the hunt. We work hard, we play hard, we learn everything we can — and we bow to no one.

Further notice: Being helpful and being nice and being sickeningly sweet are topics for pre-schoolers. BloodhoundBlog is a forum for grown-ups. Get used to it.

Our Current Listings

These are the homes we currently have listed for sale:

Ack! Our cupboard is bare!

Our listings sell faster and for more money than homes listed by other Realtors. Why? Because we market our homes. We use the time-tested strategies used to sell cars, vacations, jewelry and cosmetics to make our houses irresistible to buyers. Want to know more about how we can help you get the best possible results for your home? Call Cathleen Collins at 602-369-9275 to set up a listing appointment.

You don’t need for your home to be LISTED for sale. You need it SOLD!

Click through to discover the marketing tools, tactics and techniques we deploy to sell our homes – strategies none of our competitors use. Our results? Our listings sell at the top tier of prices among comparable homes. Days on market? An average of 43. Our quickest sale was 3 days, our longest 65 days. This is the toughest market for sellers since the Great Depression, but we can’t hang onto a listing. Click here to find out why.

Our Rental Home Listings

These are the homes we currently have listed for lease:

12529 W Madison Street, Avondale AZ 85323

This home has been restored to builder-new condition: Newer paint, newer carpet and tile, all new appliances — range, microwave and refrigerator — new countertops, new ceiling fans, new window treatments. The property is a short walk or bike ride to Collier Elementary School, with no busy streets to cross. Easy access to shopping and to the I-10 Freeway. If you’re looking for a pristine, squeaky-clean rental home, make your move. This opportunity won’t last long.
