Who we are and
what we're all about...

Click here for 10 unique Bloodhound beenfitsBloodhoundRealty.com is a team of Metropolitan Phoenix/
Scottsdale real estate professionals working together to rewrite the rules of real estate sales and service. We combine a high-tech sensibility with high-touch sensitivity – an excitement for the modern with a reverence for enduring values. 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 – and who could doubt that after reading this web site! Where other Realtors 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're here to share it.

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 cannot 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.

Who is whom?

Greg Swann, ABR, CBR, CRS, E-Pro, GRI, is a Realtor and the Designated Broker for BloodhoundRealty.com. He is an Accredited Buyer's Representative, a Certified Buyer's Representative, a Certified Residential Specialist, an E-Pro Internet Certified Realtor and a Graduate of the Realtor Institute. He speaks frequently on real estate issues and writes a weekly column for West Valley sections of the Arizona Republic. Greg spent many years in hi-tech print and direct-mail advertising production and web-site development before becoming a Realtor. He is a mumbling Latinist, a stumbling applications programmer and a bumbling poet.

Cathleen Collins, GRI, in addition to being a first-rate Realtor, is our transaction coordinator. She keeps the schedules and verifies the details, making sure that transactions close when and as planned. She holds the Graduate of the Realtor Institute designation and is working toward the Certified Residential Specialist and Accredited Buyer's Representative designations. Cathleen's first career was in financial technology, putting Bloodhound at the technical cutting edge. She devotes most of her spare time and all of her spare money to rescuing unwanted animals – including our Spokesmodel, Odysseus.

Our son Cameron Swann is our programmer. Working primarily in the PHP programming language, his software produces many of the web pages a site like this requires. Cameron is a full-time student, an incipient Saint Mary's Knight.

Odysseus the Spokesmodel is the Bloodhound behind BloodhoudRealty.com. He is the model for our advertising, but also the model for our behavior: Devoted. Dedicated. Determined. He is one of thirteen adopted animals in our home, but he's the only one who pays his own way. Click here for a Glamour Shot of Odysseus the Spokesmodel.

Success Stories...

"Knowing the general market is something many real estate professionals can help you with - Greg and Cathleen excel at this too. But of course you're not buying or selling "the market", are you? You're buying or selling your home and Greg and Cathleen have made it their passion to deliver the most uniquely rich experience they can. Their attention to detail is uncommon and they are fantastically nice people." – Matthew H


"During one whirlwind weekend early in 2004, Greg Swann helped me and my husband find just the right Valley home. Because we had never lived in the desert, we weren't sure what we wanted or needed in an Arizona house, but later commented that it was the perfect place for us.
     Our Avondale home was cozy and comfortable yet offered lots of room for company, was located in a great neighborhood, admired for its gorgeous landscaping, especially the backyard, and provided easy access to work, shopping, hiking trails and church.
     Because of Greg's expertise, research and tenacity, by Sunday afternoon we narrowed our choices to a house that had only been listed a few days. He not only gave us his undivided attention and energy for the weekend, he also educated us on the idiosyncrasies of the desert and points of interest around the Valley.
     Two and a half years later, when my husband was informed of yet another job transfer, one of our first thoughts was: We need to call Bloodhound Realty. We knew selling our home would be more difficult than buying it, because the real estate climate had morphed from a seller's market to a buyer's market. And we knew Bloodhound would work hard to create interest in our property. That they did.
     Cathleen Collins took us under her capable wing and hit the real estate road running. Despite the fact that 48,000 other homes glutted the multi-list, we received an offer within two weeks. But that's not the end of the story.
     After the movers packed our belongings and we checked into a motel in our new city, expecting to stay two days until both houses closed, the glitches began. Too numerous to mention, we won't go into the gory glitch details. However, I will say that Cathleen's calm demeanor as well as her determination to stay in constant contact with all the entities involved and to work through the problems got us through a tough time.
     Cathleen and Greg are friendly and capable, intelligent and efficient. They are quick to answer phone calls and e-mails, no matter how mundane or ignorant the questions or comments. Best of all, they are both genuinely great people! Bloodhound Realty is the best!" – Becky L.


"Greg and his wife Cathleen are not only outstanding real estate agents, but genuinely nice people as well. If you are looking for a hardworking, honest agent (I know, easy jokes here) then look no further than Bloodhound Realty for your housing needs. Greg and Cathleen have helped me and a close friend close 5 properties in the Phoenix area over the last few years, and every time it goes smoothly and Greg makes sure that we are well taken care of. I can honestly state that I will never use another agent in Phoenix unless he retires and tells me who he would recommend. It's hard to find business people that go out of their way to ensure that YOU are taken care of first, and themselves second, but that's exactly what Bloodhound does." – Mike B

Still with us? Maybe it's time we got married...

We think we produce more value for our clients than the Realtors we compete with. Since you've read this far, it could be you agree. The natural thing to do on the web is to just keep shopping. If you do that, before long you will want to come back here, so , so you don't lose it. (If you clicked that link and nothing happened, you'll have to Add to Favorites manually.) If you are truly motivated to buy, sell, relocate to or invest in a home, you should go ahead and fill out the form to find your ideal new home, get a Comparative Market Analysis of your home's value, or make an appointment to meet in your home or our offices. We would love it if you would tell your friends and neighbors about us. And if all that self-revelation is too much to bear, think about this: You're going to reveal yourself to somebody, eventually. Aren't you better off 'getting married' to the Realtors who have been honest with you straight down the line, from the very first?
