Moving into an new home can be stressful, especially when worrying about getting a place rented beforehand. However, because of the diligence and knowledge of the SI Real Estate group, my family was able to rent out our townhouse for more than we hoped and we were able to make an easy transition into our new house. Their guidance helped us to obtain our dream home. Not only are they true professionals but they are people we enjoy spending time with and growing close to our hearts. They are also extremely easy to work with and have great communication skills, which makes them the perfect property managers. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to rent out their home, purchase a new home or have a property managed.

My husband and I were moving to the Tampa area and were having no luck with several realtor companies until we came upon Joey Hernandez at SI Real Estate. From the minute Joey answered the phone with an upbeat hello I quickly realized I had finally found someone who was willing to take the time and help us find the ideal home. Joey is professional personable and easy to communicate with. The SI Real Estate team was equally responsive to questions and looking to help us every step of the way to help us move in with as much ease as possible. We highly recommend SI Real Estate to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and professional help with their real estate needs.

About four months ago I started searching for condos to rent in the Tampa Bay Area. I found that I was having difficulty searching on websites on my own and I simply could not find the criteria that fit exactly what I wanted. I found out about SI Real Estate through a friend who recently rented a home through SI Real Estate, and I got connected with Joey Hernandez. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the rentals in the entire Tampa Bay Area and he helped me hone in on what I was looking for specifically. He was available whenever I had a questions, and with my schedule as a server he was open to showing properties whenever it worked for me. He ended up finding me a quaint and adorable one bedroom with hardwood floors and beautiful finishes for an extremely affordable price. I am in love with my rental home and I couldn’t have found it without SI Real Estate!

I recently hired SI Real Estate to sell my home in New Tampa. I could not have had a better experience. Both Nibal and Pamela Elsaadi couldn’t have been more knowledgeable or attentive in getting the job done. I was recently widowed but with the Elsaadi’s beside me, I never felt alone in my blight! The two of them are a great team, just like a well-oiled machine. I had furniture to be sold and Pamela graciously put my furniture on Craigslist and then screened the prospective buyers and made dates for them to look at my furnishings. On a night before some buyers picked up some Karastan carpets I was selling, Pam and Nibal arrived to move the furniture and roll the rugs and mats so it would be easy for the buyer of the carpets to remove them. That alone was above and beyond the call!Years ago I had a Real Estate license in San Diego, California and being new to the business I sat in a lot of open houses and helped the more experienced and productive realtors, none in my two years out there worked as hard as the Elsaadi’s. All my questions and phone calls were answered promptly and I never had an uneasy moment.

SI Real Estate has managed my townhouse rental property in Tampa for over a year now, after they vetted applicants and found an excellent tenant for me. They have been thorough, professional, courteous and responsive throughout the course of our dealings, which have included some challenges which were through no fault of SI Real Estate. Pamela, Nibal and Joey have my complete confidence and trust and have lived up to my expectations at all times. I highly recommend them.

JT

From the moment we met it was a dynamite team. Nibal was very high-energy, positive and extremely knowledgeable about the market and financing scenarios. He was also prompt on providing details, history and statistics on a property or the area. My home search lasted about 4 months in which I was able to meet with a few members of the team, who were all very professional and warm in nature. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely pick the SI team to do business. Going forward I have also recommended this team to my friends, family and colleagues.

Ashley P

I have worked with SI Real Estate and have purchased 4 investments. SI Real Estate always did what they said they were going to do and did the work in a very time manner. If you want someone to work hard for you, call a great company, SI Real Estate.

Bill H

We have known Nibal for 5 years. We purchased our home and subsequent rental properties through SI Real Estate. They have always met our expectations and always strive hard to go above and beyond. Their courtesy, honesty and experience is completely trustworthy.

Laksmi D.

We have been working with SI Real Estate for four years since turning our condo into a rental property and are very pleased with their service. They do an excellent job of screening candidates and negotiating the lease and overseeing the move-in/move-out processes. They have found excellent tenants for us and they have responded thoroughly to our needs as well as those of the tenants.Karin and

As a Tenant in a SI Real Estate property, I have found the services of SI Real Estate to be prompt and thorough. The staff is friendly and efficient at all times. The staff has been a source of stability in my changing personal circumstances and I thank you most sincerely for giving me the assurances I have needed. You set a fine example of professionalism. Thank you SI Real Estate for your great service. It is a comfort to know that I do not have to worry about my investment.

Keisha J

We have rented a very nice property through SI for 2 years. They have always been very good about responding quickly to our inquiries and helping us resolve any issue regarding the property. Those that we have worked with from SI have been professional and personable. When we were ready to relocate SI was there to show us any available property we wished to see.

L Himmerlick

Nibal and his team have helped my extremely in Real Estate efforts. He is very trust worthy and gives me a very honest opinion and guides me thru the process very meticulously. He is not a pushy sales person and he places all the facts on the table and lets me decide on a property. He also helped in Renting out the properties I bought with his help and helps in finding handy man for any repairs. I would recommend Nibal to all of my friends.We are very extremely happy with his insight of the Real Estate in the Tampa Bay area.

S Manyayam

SI Real Estate and their employees are extremely professional people. Pamela has been nothing but courteous, respectful and very friendly. She and her husband Nibal, have done everything in their power to help me. They both go way above and beyond for their clients which shows me they really care and love what they do. Even though they are a business, I feel like I am taken care of on a personal level. They make you feel like you are one of their friends. I know that I can pick up the phone at any time and talk to Pamela about any issue that I am having. You can tell that they really want to succeed in meeting all of your real estate needs. If you are reading these reviews and have a real estate need, I would encourage you to pick up the phone and find out for yourself. You will know within the first few minutes of speaking with them that you are dealing with caring professionals.

Theresa Sanders

I have rented two properties through SI Real Estate and work with Nibal and was very impressed with the professional service provided by the company and would highly recommend them for renting nice properties.

Karen Roan

I have utilized the services of SI Real Estate more than once and my experience with them is always been excellent. I bought and rented multiple properties through SI Real Estate and I received great service from this team. I worked with multiple folks at this firm, Nibal, Pamela and Joey they have always been very helpful and always exceed my expectations. I have a very busy schedule myself and most of the time I can only talk either very early in the day or late in the evening, I never have issues reaching them. I worked with other realtors as well in the past few years and I can tell I haven’t seen a more hard working team than this team at SI real estate. I would recommend SI Real Estate without any hesitation and I will continue to use their services in the future.

Vijetha

After working with a few realtors and producing futile results we had a chance opportunity run-in with Nibal E. He was extremely knowledgeable with a wealth of information. He always made himself available and found some really good properties for us to look at. Periodically we also worked with his team Joey and Pamela. Each of them were very professional and on the ball. We thought we knew what we wanted for the money and then Nibal began showing us other options which superseded our initial search. We were soon able to see many properties in very good areas and eventially closed a deal on an excellent home. Looking forward to working with the team again in the future for our next home.

I would like to take a moment to Thank You for the wonderful relationships you offer to many! The homes you restore reflect a lot of love and consideration for what makes a home a happy home. On top of the excellent work you put into your homes, you bring a wealth of knowledge and excellent customer service to all involved. As a Mortgage Consultant, it is important to work with a team that has the same goal in mind. I can honestly say we did work very well with each other. When my future clients are looking for homes, your name will be the first that I provide. I am so looking forward to conducting future business with you and Saadi Investments. Dependability and quality is hard to find, you have them both!

Lysandra LaFayette, Unique Financial Mortgage Services

I must say that I’m quite impressed with the renovations to the projects you and your husband have accomplished. To include “before and after” pictures of each property demonstrates the quality of the improvements to the property. I also like the fact that you distinguish each of the properties by providing important information such as price, location, and improvements for upgrades. I’m going to definitely make it a point to show my buyers Saadi Investments, LLC properties. Thank you again Pamela to both you and your husband for sending me this information and for providing quality homes, which make for wonderful and memorable showings.

Mark Adams, Realtor

Hello. Hope all is well and doing fine. This is a just a note to tell you about our experience with Saadi-Investments. With our lease being up at the end of the month & having to move in such a short time,we were so overwhelmed looking for a house (simply a place to live). Then we came across the house on 17th street. Nibal was very kind and sincere in all he told us. The house was exceptional. All we needed to do was move in. The experience we had from beginning to end was first rate. Not that I’d want to but if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely make Saadi-Investments my first choice. Thank you so very much for helping us with our very first home. Thank you both for all that you have done for our family in making our dream a reality.

The DeJesus Family

Dear Macdill AFB housing office,I am a Senior Airman in the USAF currently stationed here at Macdill AFB. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Katie Crider of SI Real Estate while searching for a rental for a friend deployed at the time. I was so impressed by the professionalism and knowledge displayed that I requested her help finding me property to purchase.Being a first time home buyer the overall process was intimidating and overwhelming. Katie made sure I wasn’t taken advantage of and kept me informed throughout the process. She worked with me, really listened to my needs, was professional throughout the process and the end result is that I am now living in a place that I love and am proud of. Katie made it happen!I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to find a place of their own as I know she will be the best person to have on their side.

DeAngelo M. Thomas

I want to thank you for all of the assistance you provided during the very difficult time of having to do a short sale on my property in Florida. I learned through this process that you are a person with a lot of integrity and class. It was clear to me during the process that you had an excellent working knowledge of the steps that we needed to accomplish in order to reach our goal. You were patient, and helped me through a very stressful time. I found you to be knowledgeable and compassionate, but at the same time you were always straight with me and you continued to be realistic throughout the entirety of the transaction. You followed through when you said you would, and you were always very professional. I am very pleased that I chose you and Vince to help me. I am not sure others would have been equally successful.I wish you all the best and would be happy to recommend your services to others.

Take care,

Alyssa W., Esq

I have been a property management client of Pamela’s for 10 years and have received outstanding customer service from her and her team. She does an excellent job vetting tenants and makes the transition from one group to another go smoothly. Pamela is responsive to all questions and concerns and the repair contractors she uses are efficient and do excellent work.

Karin Smith

Nibal and Pamela were instrumental in selling our house in Tampa, and went the extra mile to make things happen! I was very impressed with their professionalism and doing business with a personal touch! Even when I was not physically in Tampa anymore, they took care of all the details. Strongly recommend them!

Shilpa Gupta

This is the second time I have turned to Pamela and Nibal at SI Real Estate Tampa to find renters for my house in the Tampa area. They found a great couple last year that moved out last week and the new family moved in the next day. Due to the short turnaround SI coordinated the cleaning service, carpet cleaning and paint touch up trades as I live out of state and the new renters needed to move in quickly. Pamela and Nibal really know the rental market and are great at marketing, listing, showing the property, and executing the rental agreement. The SI office staff that I also called or emailed responded and answered questions quickly.

Lynn Duffy

SI Real Estate Tampa’s promise is to “Exceed Expectations” and with the service that Nibal, Pamela and the SI Real Estate team provided, they have definitely met this goal! Prompt and direct marketing strategies along with superior customer relations allows this company to thrive with buyers, sellers and other real estate services. I have enjoyed my experience with SIRE and highly recommend them to all my friends and family in the Tampa Bay area!!

Priscilla Brazauskas

SI Real Estate provides excellent service. Everyone has been extremely helpful and have gone out of their way to help me make my transition from PA. Pamela and Nibal are wonderful people. Thank you so much!!!

Wendy Dampman

This summer, I worked as an intern at SI Real Estate Tampa. Through my experience, I can gladly say that Pamela is one of the most organized mentors and supervisor I have ever worked with. She had always been very supportive and kind team leader for me. Both Nibal and Pamela trained me by shadowing and let me shadow them to understand how the firm works and to get a glimpse of their typical day. Both of them believe in the core values of honesty, integrity, trust and dedication towards the clients they serve. I can proudly say that I had one of the most fruitful experiences while interning at SI Real Estate Tampa.

Noble Verma

I recently moved from Philadelphia to St. Petersburg with my fiancé. My brother had used SI Real Estate to find his condo and I wasn’t disappointed with the recommendation!! Priscilla and Pamela were nothing but helpful to make sure we got in our new place on time!! Whenever I had questions or concerns about making such a big move they were wonderful. I highly recommend working with SI Real Estate for all your new home needs!!

Chelsey Van de Gohm:

Nibal & Pamela were very helpful to my wife, both in the rental of her property and then its sale – Complications always occur in real estate transactions & Nibal & Pamela have the expertise & temperament to navigate those complexities with professional aplomb – Thanks, Pamela & Nibal

David Weidner

Pamela and Nibal were most helpful with the quick turnover we needed to get into a rental in our move from MD to FL. They expedited all paperwork so we were not without a place to live when we relocated. When exiting the rental to our purchased home, they were both helpful in finding a quick replacement for us as to not incur too much additional cost to us. Thank you Pamela and Nibal!

Jeannie Roth

Pamela and Nibal were extremely helpful when it came to helping me find a great place. They kept in contact, followed up with me, and got things done in a professional and timely manner. I would definitely recommend working with them to anyone. Thank you!

Liza Martinez

I love living in Courtney Palms and greatly appreciate the support I receive when I have any type of maintenance issues. You all take care of me very quickly and it’s good knowing that I have you all to reach out to. When the time comes where I want to buy a place I will be sure to look to SI Real Estate for support.

Ann Thompson

I recently married my Amazing husband Mr. Lane…after moving in together we quickly realized we needed more SPACE! The people at SI Real Estate Tampa helped us find the perfect place! The entire process from viewing the property, the application and approval process was so fast!! If you are looking for the perfect place and would like to work with professional people, contact SI Real Estate Tampa!

Thank you so much SI Real Estate Tampa!!

Mrs. Lane

Had an awesome experience!!! Pamela and Nibal helped me on every step of the leasing. Always had a great and open communication on any issues regarding the house . The experience was so great, I have even called them to help me buy a house. Experience was a breeze!! If you want an excellent Real Estate company at your service, this is the one to call !

Luis Perez

We rented one of their properties for 3.5 years and we could not ask for a better landlord. They are very responsive and they do care about their residents. Loved the experience and we ended up using their service to buy our first home. They were ready to help any time we need it. A great resource to every single question related to home buying process. I strongly recommend their service if you ever need it.

Gunce Malan-Rush

We are a military family and with that being said, we move around a lot. In December of 2013, we left one duty station to the next in Florida. Finding the perfect home for our family was the first thing we did after arriving in Tampa, but we needed a little extra help and that’s when we came across SI Real estate. From our Realtor, Nibal, to his amazing wife, Pamela (whom handles all paperwork) they made finding our perfect home, in Vahalla of Brandon, the easiest it has been for us in the last almost 11 years of this Military life style. We were so fortunate to rent a home owned by some of the best people we have ever met (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and in all honesty, we didn’t want to leave, but the Military had other plans for us. We spent 3.2 years in this wonderful area.

In conclusion, if you or anyone is looking for a home, seriously consider using SI Real Estate and let them make all of the move and transition one that wont leave you disappointed. If we ever end up back in Florida, we will be using them again.

Thank you for taking the time to read this testimonial!!

Gabriela H.

Annette and I appreciate everything you did for us. The entire process was totally profession, yet what sets your company apart is the personal touch you provide for your clients. We’re really enjoying the condo and the neighborhood. We plan on staying here for the foreseeable future and eventually down the road possibly purchasing. Thank you again for making this a smooth transition for us.

Gary S.
