Jay is a man possessed of an unprepossessing competence, a man’s man who just gets in there and gets the job done. I’ve worked with him on half-a-dozen projects, and it has always made me proud to set my shoulder beside his.<\/p>\n
And so I am very proud to announce that Jay is joining us today as a contributor to BloodhoundBlog:<\/p>\n

Want to find Jay Thompson? Just Google for “Phoenix real estate” — he’s above the fold. Jay is a legend among real estate webloggers, but he’s also an incipient broker, a confirmed desert rat and a committed family man.<\/p>\n
Make him feel welcome, if you would. He won’t even have to try to make you feel safe.
