Do you know the story of the Phoenix?
A baby bird breaks out of its shell. Alone, it grows and prospers until it is able to fly. It soars skyward every day, ever higher, until one day it soars all the way to the sun. The Thunderbird is incinerated. Its ashes fall to earth and form the nest for the next Phoenix...The prehistoric land we call Phoenix was a thriving agricultural settlement, made possible by ideal weather conditions and a well-planned canal system. These original settlers, whom we call Hohokam, even had ball courts!
Centuries later as the War Between The States wound down, Fort McDowell was established along the banks of the Rio Verde River. Colorful adventurer Jack Swilling recognized the opportunity the nearby abandoned canals offered for raising supplies for the troops. From his Swilling Irrigating and Canal Company the busy little farming community of Phoenix rose from the empty desert.
Today the Phoenix/Scottsdale area is the fastest-growing major metropolitan region in the United States. Great weather continues to be the draw. And so does our standard of living. Phoenix is one of the most affordable cities in the country. Thousands of families move to Arizona every year. At Bloodhound Realty, we work hard to make sure that our clients -- our friends -- reap the absolute best of The Valley of the Sun.

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 Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the Phoenix suburbs. We would love to help you buy a home in Metropolitan Phoenix or to sell the Paradise Valley home you already own. If you're relocating to Scottsdale, 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 Phoenix real estate weblog, but we also publish Distinctive Phoenix, which is devoted to historic and architecturally-distinctive homes in Central and North Central Phoenix, and Distinctive Paradise Valley Homes, which is focused on the incomparable luxury real estate to be found in Paradise Valley. 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.Want to find out more?

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? Don’t list your home for sale without talking to us first — 602-740-7531.
