"Fantastic! I see that once again you have missed no details. Carola and I thank you for the excellent job you did for us. Everyone I spoke to about how you facilitated this whole house-buying process was just as impressed with your thoroughness and dependability as I was. My conversations with relatives in Arizona who have recently bought homes made it really clear that this level of service and competence is outstanding; well beyond the norm. People are just amazed by the fact that we could initiate this from Germany, come to Arizona for a week one month later and go away with the house deal basically in the bag. You delivered exactly what we wanted." – Mike M.

"I like to report on good service I receive whenever I can. As I've blogged, we recently sold our home. One of the motivating factors was to use some of the profits to invest in other real estate.
     Phoenix, AZ, happens to be the hottest appreciating market in the country, right now, and even though the run-up in prices in the last year precludes positive rental cash flow (unless you go in with lots of equity), appreciation should far outstrip the outlay I'll have over the next three years, which is my anticipated holding period.
     So, I contacted my friend Greg Swann, of Bloodhound Realty. Told him I wanted three rentals, but not just any rentals. I wanted relatively new houses, stucco, tile roofs, in nice suburban neighborhoods. In short, I want houses that will attract the cream of the crop in tenants and command market rental rates, even though I may set the price slightly below just to rent them quick. We'll see.
     I also told Greg that I did not want to travel to Phoenix -- not now, not ever! (not really) No, I just want to be able to do everything remotely.
     I'm happy to report that he runs a fantastic turnkey operation for out-of-state investors. First, he referred me to a loan professional who specializes in investor loans. Then, Greg searched out 16 prospective properties and took lots of photos of each. He then recommended three, and, because I'm smart, I went with his recommendation 100%.
     This one, this one, and this one.
     Greg drafted the contracts on Friday, we signed them on Saturday morning, and by Sunday afternoon, we had firm deals on all three. Inspections are scheduled, loans are proceeding, property management will be established very soon.
     All is proceeding very smoothly." – Richard N.

"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." – Damon C
