When I first met Greg Swann, he was helping a friend of mine find a house in the Phoenix area. During the weekend they were looking, I found a situation on my own with another company that was pitching a rent-to-own scenario. I wasn't comfortable enough with the situation to know if I was being told the truth, or was I getting a scam. That afternoon, when Greg returned with my friend, I told him as much about it as I could, hoping that he would answer my questions. Instead of just answering my questions, Greg accompanied me back to the agent I had spoken to, and proceeded to start asking questions so fast that I got lost in the details of the conversation. After we left, Greg explained what he was able to ferret out from the other agent and then gave me a few suggestions and recommendations to point me in the right direction. During this entire time Greg never asked to be paid for his time or expertise, and would not even let me buy him a cup of coffee. Before the weekend was over, Greg had helped my friend make an offer on a house they had looked at. It was then I decided to enlist Greg's help once again, only this time I asked him to represent me as well. That evening with Greg acting on my behalf, we were able to make an offer of our own to the other agent, which a few hours later was accepted. Without Greg's help neither of these transactions would have occurred or have been possible. But the story doesn't end there... Greg helped set up the necessary inspections, assisted with the paperwork, helped place the financing, was always diligent and attentive to my needs, and was willing to go the extra mile with a smile. He made everything seem easy. I thank him for his efforts and cannot say enough about his attitude and professionalism. I have recommended Greg to other members of my family, whom he has taken care of as he did me, and I continue to recommend him to anyone that has a need for an agent or needs any help in the real estate business. read more

One of the reviews here states that Greg Swann "invented customized marketing plans for distinctive Phoenix homes." I can attest that this is true. I can do so because my distinctive Phoenix home was the one of the first, if not THE first.1102westculverst.com. I wasn't new to real estate when I met Greg. But I learned a lot from him. I learned that every other experience I'd ever had with a realtor was a great, great disappointment. And unfortunately, as I don't live in Arizona anymore, I know that every experience I have in the future will be, too. In fact, I JUST listed my home today, the day that I write this review. And I did so with a bit of regret, a bit of sorrow and a bit of fear that the process is NOT going to go as well as it should. It won't, because I now live in Massachusetts, and Greg ain't here. I could probably ramble on and on, but I'll get to the real facts, and I'll get on with my night. Greg is the most honest realtor you'll meet. He began selling marketing and selling homes in a different way because he knew it was a better way. A way, I'd wager, that actually costs HIM more money. But it's the best way to sell YOUR house, so that's what he does. If you're buying or selling in the Phoenix area (or any area he'll work in) you would be making a mistake if you didn't work with Greg. Trust me... I've bet on him twice, and I've put my own name on the line to recommend him to many, many others. And I'll do it again. Don't believe me?

I am truly saddened to see negative reviews on here, because that was the exact opposite of any interaction I've ever had with Cathleen and Greg. They are fantastic people to rent from. They are even more fantastic as people in general. If I hadn't moved to another state, I would have stayed with Cathleen and Greg for as long as I could. I didn't feel that the amount deducted from my security deposit was unfair at all. Look, EVERY company is going to deduct from your security deposit. In fact, they deducted less than any other company that I have ever went through! Usually I don't even get half my deposit back regardless of the fact I always leave my homes in perfect condition. I felt Cathleen and Greg were incredibly honest and fair in regards to my security deposit. I'll leave with this- if you're looking for honest, kind, hardworking, genuine people... bloodhound realty is the way to go. Any issue I had during my time with them, they solved so quickly and efficiently. Pay your rent on time and take care of the property and you won't have issues! I can truly say that Cathleen and Greg are the greatest team of individuals that I've ever rented through. If I ever moved back to Arizona, I can genuinely say I wouldn't want to rent from anyone else. Wonderful people and wonderfully ran business. read more

Greg Swann is one terrific Real Estate Salesperson! We chose to work with him with after making several inquiries to other sales people who didn't return our phone calls and emails. From the start, Greg listened to our needs and worked hard to find the right property for us. His use of technology is absolutely amazing! He was available daily when we came to town, spent the time with us that we needed and did his utmost to assist in any way he could. Greg's vast knowledge and experience with tenants was invaluable when searching out an investment property. His vast resources and contacts can also be trusted. Greg really knows Phoenix and the surrounding communities. He goes above and beyond what is expected! As a Real Estate Broker, I have watched and worked with many Real Estate professionals through the years. The Bloodhound system of selling properties is second to none; their integrity, ethics, energy and attitudes place them a cut above the rest! As buyers we found Greg to be honest, sincere, knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, resourceful and very professional. Would we recommend Greg Swann and Bloodhound Realty? Absolutely! No matter what kind of property one is selling or looking to purchase, Greg Swann is the person to call - Thank you Greg! read more

Back three years ago now, I emailed Greg in Pheonix about buying three rental properties, we spoke on the phone, he got a bead on what I was looking for, and the very next day I had a collection of photos on about a dozen houses. He helped me choose three, referred a loan company, and within less than a month we closed on all three -- sight unseen, He then referred a management company and dropped off the keys. Three years later and I have yet to see those houses in person -- and it's my goal to someday have Greg sell them for me -- still sight unseen. Top to bottom and wall to wall, Greg's approach was: "what could Richard possibly want" and he went ahead and did it before I even new I might want it. He even paid for a warrantee on all three properties out of his own pocket -- something that would have never occurred to me. The bad part? R/E licensing laws that don't permit Greg to operate nationwide. Otherwise, I'd never do an R/E transaction without him at my side, EVER! read more

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 Phx 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 Phx 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. read more

I've been an admirer of the talents and ethics of Cathleen Collins for many, many years so when Greg Swann began admiring her talents also, I knew he must be a winner too. He proved me right. A few years ago Greg spent hours and hours of quality time with my young son, helping him buy his first house. The education was invaluable. He went way beyond our expectations, referred us to a quality team for financing, helped us with contracting for a cement block wall to bring the home up to the neighborhood standard and generally made us feel great about the house we were buying. Neither my son or I would think of going to anyone but Bloodhound Realty for trustworthy, quality, professional service. read more

If you want your house sold, you will not find a better listing broker than Bloodhound Realty. Greg and Cathleen are the best I have seen in over 20 years in this business. They don't howl about how great they are, they put their noses down and get your house sold. Don't believe me? Go to http://www.abetterlisting.com and see the comprehensive marketing strategy they deploy for every listing. Every day I thank my lucky stars I don't have to compete with the Bloodhounds here in Houston. Greg and Cathleen do not take listings to decorate the internet, they take them so they can put up their famous Sold Sign. I hope you get the chance to get that Sold Sign on your home. read more

Greg Swann helped me buy my first house in Phoenix in 2005. He was fantastic, leading me - then a first time home buyer - through the buying process when the Phoenix market was very hot. Greg and Cathleen sold that house for me in 2007 (when the Phoenix market was starting to decline). Mine was the last home to sell in that neighborhood before the market went into free fall. It was all because of their help: they supervised repairs, staged it, and sold it for more than I paid for it. They are fantastic. I recommend anyone buying or selling in Phoenix to use them. Very professional, very thorough, excellent either on the buying and selling side. read more

Cathleen Collins at Bloodhound Realty was our savior when we had our house on the market in Phoenix after moving out of state during the fall of 2007. Our house was empty and Cathleen took it upon herself to stage it and make it look move in ready. Bloodhound Realty advertized our house on every website imaginable and had several Open Houses throughout the process. Cathleen was very professional, she kept in close contact with us regarding market trends, recent houses sold in the area, and feedback on the showings. Most importantly, Bloodhound Realty was able to sell our house in a very slow Phoenix market and we are so thankful for that. read more

I was fortunate enough to have Greg and Cathleen sell my house last year in record time! In 5 weeks, they transformed my ok house into a dollhouse. Cathleen has such a talent for staging a house and Greg was always there with answers whenever I called him. I have never had such an easy experience with such a scary task. They are both incredibly professional and talented. Thank you both so much for helping me and accomodating my out-of-town schedule, you're awesome and I will use your services again! read more

Cathleen and Greg are the best! We experienced and benefited from their friendliness, knowledge, dedication, expertise and determination when we bought our home and when we sold it. Though we moved out of state, we remain friends with the Bloodhound crew and recommend them--without reservation--to Phoenix area property buyers and sellers. You can't go wrong with Bloodhound Realty. They'll sniff out the perfect deal for you! read more
