Bianchi Realty & Property Management - Brenda Bianchi & Team

Experiencia fantástica: The best in the business! Very professional and talented! Handled everything perfectly from start to finish! They were like family in the process of selling and buying!

Experiencia fantástica: This review is to specifically recognize Bernadette Pamintua. She is great to work with, always prompt to respond, clear & thorough in her communications & kind in her demeanor. We are pleased to have her as our point of contact! Thanks for all you do for us Bernadette.

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with many property management companies in the past but Bianchi has proven to be a cut above them all. They’re very professional and very easy to work with. Bernadette has been a real pleasure to work with and I look forward to a long lasting professional relationship with her.

Experiencia fantástica: Very satisfied with the management on how fast they resolved my appt issue. Very responsible and professional responding on emergency matters calling and reassuring me everything was getting handle. My AC stoped cooling and heating up pretty quickly living, in Florida thats a nightmare. But Bianchi stepped up and even after hours they took care of my AC problem. They sent out a tech within 30 min, tech came in took care of the AC and made sure it was cooling before he left. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: We installed gutters on one of their properties. Very easy to work with and paid quickly. I recommend working with them

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you, works great

Experiencia negativa: This is a review for the property management side as we have been tenants since 2023. We had no issues during the move in process, actually it was pretty great. But everything since then has gone downhill. They do not answer their phones, you have to leave a voicemail and they “may” get back to you. They have a portal where you can text from, but their responses are very minimal and they seem to forget you each time you reach out. We didn’t have a lot of maintenance issues (mostly because the home was in great shape) but trying to make arrangements to move out was nearly impossible. Examples: we moved in mid month in 2023 so naturally our lease ended mid month 2025. They tried to charge us a full month’s rent when it should have been prorated. We had calls after calls and finally someone in the office said to just pay the prorated rent and they will remove the remaining balance. They never did and charged us a late fee. They just sent us our security deposit back and still charged us a late fee. Carlene also convinced me to not hire a cleaning crew on my end and just use theirs because it was easier for them to get in and she said it would be around $175. They charged me $300. I shouldn’t have taken their advice and hired my own for less than $200. I bet we would have instantly got a call back from them if we were trying to buy a home. Such a disappointment. Please think twice before signing a lease with Bianchi

Experiencia fantástica: Brenda and her team are the best!

Experiencia fantástica: I truly appreciate Brenda’s responsiveness and professionalism. She operates an outstanding property management company, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my investment property is in trusted hands while I’m out of state. If you’re looking for a reliable property manager, I highly recommend Brenda and her team.

Experiencia fantástica: Brenda at Bianchi Realty and Property Management in Seminole, Florida is a true professional. She has a lot of experience in both property management and sales, and genuinely cares about her clients. I’ll be recommending her to any Florida investors.

Experiencia fantástica: The entire team is very on top of things and very friendly! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you for getting our service call taken care of and completed in a timely manner.

Experiencia fantástica: A client and a service provider for many, many years. Great company

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carlene, Jon, and Bernadette from the Bianchi Realty & Property Management team over the past five months, and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. They’ve been consistently responsive, professional, and clear in their communication regarding work orders and tenant needs across various properties. I truly appreciate their teamwork and dedication, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with ​Amanda Irvin (on Brenda Bianchi's team) was an absolute pleasure. ​Her extensive knowledge of the market, especially in duplexes and investment properties was ​rare and so appreciated for our circumstances. ​Amanda was incredibly responsive, always returning ​our calls and texts promptly. ​Her ability to handle stressful situations with ease ​was greatly needed after two major hurricanes hit our home while it was on the market. Amanda took care of everything, keeping ​u​s informed every step of the way​ (even ​with us moving out of state). I was​ very pleased with ​her approach to selling ​o​ur home, ​and we relied a lot on her suggestions to make improvements that increased interest. ​We were also very confident in her negotiation skills​, Amanda had a clear and accurate idea of where our buyers were deal-wise and we were very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend ​A​manda Irvin to anyone seeking a top-notch realtor.​ If I had it my way, Amanda would sell every home I ever own!

Experiencia fantástica: I rent through Bianchi Realty Property Management, and my experience with Jon Figueroa (Property Manager) and Carleen has been excellent. They are both incredibly kind and professional. They respond promptly to any maintenance issues and handle everything with empathy, making them easy to work with. I highly recommend their services!

Experiencia fantástica: The best property management company we have ever worked with!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been tenants for about 6 months and I can honestly say Bianchi has been the best property management group we’ve rented from. They are incredibly professional and responsive and we appreciate how thorough and proactive they have been in elevating our rental experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I am the owner of the property that Rob Howard rented and left his negative review for. I cannot comment on his comments pertaining to the social interactions between him and the Bianchi Management, but I can speak out on other details in his review. "This house was a complete dump when we moved in, nothing like was advertised via website." - The pictures and description was completely accurate. The house was used for AirBnb just prior to renting and constantly got 5 stars. It had set for a month or so, prior to them moving in.. but they insisted on moving in prior to the move-in cleaning. So, there was some dirt and dust that otherwise wouldn't have been there. The move-in cleaning was done shortly afterwards. There was a small stain on the carpet of the stairs. And I had left some stuff in the garage, that did not interfere with parking a vehicle there. Upon notification of the stain, it was taken care of at my expense. Upon notification that they wanted the stuff removed from the garage, it was, at my expense. Any other issues they wanted taken care of was immediately done so, at my expense. "charging outrages amounts for a property in which was left the same way as move in" - The house was in 5-star Airbnb condition when they moved in. When they moved out, it was far from such. They had stolen a $500 Queen mattress, broken a $200 bed frame, broken a dead lock, put a hole in the wall from a doorknob hitting it, left the hose out in the yard punctured with holes, left many stains on the floor, taken an indoor cafe table and placed it outside to be ruined by the weather, left a bunch of their trinkets and paperwork in the bedrooms, and refused to mow the lawn for the entire 6 months they were there, which caused St. Pete city citation notices. This tenant also was late many months with their rent and didn't pay the last month's rent at all.

Experiencia negativa: I’ve never in my life left a bad review, but this group deserves much more then just that. I am a tenant of a short term rental property managed though Bianchi. The attitude towards their tenants is beyond unprofessional. Very very rude group that is extremely passive aggressive and does not care about the well being of their tenants. Would never advise anyone using this group. Ever. 9/8- Just received my security deposit in the mail. Attached is a list of charges totaling $2,139. This house was a complete dump when we moved in, nothing like was advertised via website. Upon moving in we were extremely upset. We now are stuck with charges totaling almost our entire security deposit amount on items that were left in the exact same condition as when we moved in. This group of people doesnt care at all about the well being of their tenants or doing good business. Not only was it a horrible experience dealing with these people the entire time, we are now getting nearly nothing back from our $3500 deposit due to bianchi charging outrages amounts for a property in which was left the same way as move in. I would do everything in my power to inform everyone to stay far far away from this slimy property management group that provides beyond awful service and will do everything they can to nickel and dime you. Use anyone else when thinking about renting a property in pinellas park/ St. Petersburg area.

Experiencia negativa: I would not recommend using this company for your property management services, buying or selling. they are at most unprofessional, rude and do not care about the well being of the tenants that reside in the units they manage, who pay rent monthly. previous review is from a member of the staff. conflict of interest and biased. I would not recommend putting others through the headache they put me through.

Experiencia fantástica: Best property management team in Pinellas County/Tampa Bay Area. I recommend 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Bianchi Realty is our current property management company, and they truly provide us with peace of mind! My partner and I are first time landlords, and have been nervous about the legal side and making sure our tenants are treated the way we would want to be treated. Thankfully, the Bianchi team has truly heard our concerns and have helped make sure that both our tenants and our property are taken care of. I can't recommend their services enough!

Experiencia fantástica: We are property owners who currently rent our property through Bianchi Realty. Our experience with Bianchi is first class, both in integrity and service, treating both client/owners and client/renters with fairness and openness.

Experiencia negativa: They just take your application money and run.

Experiencia negativa: They will take your application money and after putting in zero effort deny you. I made 10x the rent, have a misdemeanor offense lol I was denied? Wow! What a scam!

Experiencia negativa: They spam you with calls.

Experiencia fantástica: Chad Pravlik did an OUTSTANDING job helping me find a house when I was in a time crunch. He was always super responsive and always made himself available to look at properties (even when the Bucs were playing in the playoffs!). He really went out of his way to help me negotiate the price on a property when the seller was hard to work with. Chad is very personable, professional and knowledgeable about the real estate market and I highly recommend him. There's no doubt in my mind that you will be as happy with his services as I was. I chose Bianchi Realty & Property Management because they have almost 40 years of real estate experience, they were responsive and professional as soon as I inquired about a property and the fact that they also do property management, which I may need down the road. Overall, I had a FANTASTIC experience with both Bianchi Realty and Chad!

Experiencia negativa: Total waste of time trying to discuss the availability of a rental unit. Tried 5 times to schedule via their electronic system, cancelled 5 x's. Spoke directly to the property manager and all he would do is give us the runaround. Its either available or its not!

Experiencia fantástica: This is an absolutely unqualified recommendation for Robby King and Bianchi Realty. In my lifetime I have purchased and sold 15 separate homes and dealt with a variety of realtors in the process. Some were good and some were pretty mediocre. I have never dealt with anyone better than Robby. He not only excels at the normal activities as your realtor; his service beyond the sale is superb. He gets the details right, follows through on every task and request, and gives excellent advice. I am new to the area and he has been an outstanding resource on services well outside the normal real estate transaction. He definitely goes beyond to see that you get what you need and makes every effort to insure that the entire process proceeds smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone, and if I ever need the services of a realtor in the Tampa area, I won’t hesitate to call on him again.

Experiencia fantástica: Took care of me back in 2017

Experiencia fantástica: Was very pleased with my stay. Everything that needed fixed was fixed immediately. Stress free moving in and out! All around great experience. Thanks bianchi reality for treating us like family!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very pleased with the service Rick Santana provided. I was trying to purchase a condo by long distance with a list of must-haves and don’t-wants. Also, would fly in and would have only a short amount of time to look each time. Rick did not waste my time. He had a plan and we stuck to it. He was in contact with me every day with new listings. Even after the sale, he was available. He was efficient, on top of the market, a go-getter, and has a fun sense of humor. I would totally recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: I have provided services to Bianchi Realty & Property Management for over three years. I own a Handyman business. It is important to me to work with professional, responsive people. Bianchi, is exactly that. As a vendor, I prefer to have a great relationship with my clients. I have experienced first hand, Bianchi has built a strong trusting relationship with me AND I have experienced often the great relationships they have with their clients as well. Whether you need property management services or a realtor, I highly recommend Bianchi Realty & Property Management.

Experiencia fantástica: Bianchi realty is a great company. Our realtor was professional, knowledgeable, and a go-getter. We had a short time in town and he ensured we saw numerous units, even on Saturday and Sunday! Good thing too, the unit he showed us on Sunday was the perfect fit for us and we bought it. We received valuable assistance and support through closing and beyond. As new owners, we were pleased they gave us a return address stamp that we use repeatedly. A small but very thoughtful gesture. We also get email updates on market conditions that are informative. I will use Bianchi again and gladly refer them to others looking to buy or sell.

Experiencia fantástica: The Bianchi Realty and Property Management team have been our first choice for purchasing and selling properties for several years now. The team is very knowledgeable, reliable, and easily accessible to complete a deal.

Experiencia fantástica: We used Brenda to find our investment property in Florida over 6 years ago. Her attention to detail and ability to take time to show us any unit we wanted to see gave us the insight into the area that we needed. During our search we all ended up loving 1 particular unit over everything. And Brenda did everything possible to make this unit ours. We lived over 2000 miles away, and Brenda took care of all aspects of the sale. Needless to say, this unit not only helped create many family memories with our children, but it has become such a staple in our real-estate portfolio, outperforming our other rentals by a wide margin. We could not have been happier with her professionalism and attention to details to make a "remote investor" feel comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Bianchi Realty and Property Management was so helpful in our property search and application process. Chad and Joe were absolutely amazing! I would recommend Bianchi Realty and Property Management for all property rental and search

Experiencia negativa: The moved me into a unit with mold, I didn't notice it until about 6 months later becauseit was growing on my stuff. Then tried to bully me into signing a contract that states basically that I'm signing my life away. So I wouldn't sue them if I got sick of lymphoma or somthing. I DIDNT SIGN So I had to move out, which is fine, cause I like my health. But they are keeping my deposit 1000.00 trying to say I caused the mold because I didn't leave the AC on whole away when it was actually cold in Fl. The unit upstairs flooded and renovated 2 times because of mold. I guess they are not smart enough to know how water physics work. They will probably try and rent it out with out fixing the problem. So don't be a fool like me.

Experiencia fantástica: Bianchi Reality managed my rental home for over 8 years and when we sold they found a buyer within weeks and the process went very smoothly making us a nice profit. Our Aunt also used them to sell her home and sold within weeks for her. They was very helpful and professional in the purschase and sell of our home and would use them again when ready to buy.

Experiencia fantástica: I am new to Florida real estate and I’m looking to relocate from CT. I have looked at many properties this week with Rick Santana. He is such a responsive and accommodating realtor and made looking at real estate an easy and fun task. Always available to talk, see a property, and willing to go above and beyond. I’m looking forward to being a homeowner in Florida and wouldn’t think of using another realtor or realty company.

Experiencia fantástica: Brenda and her team (Brian, Sandy, Chad, John, and Brittany) have been managing our vacation rental since November 2018 and have all been instrumental in making it a success. They have always looked out for our best interests and have kept us informed. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a good company. They are professional and everyone is nice. I had a minor issue with my property and they offered a few creative solutions and resolved it. I will use them with my next property also.

Experiencia fantástica: Great pizza and great menu. Reasonable prices on drinks and beer full Liquor Bar also

Experiencia fantástica: We've used Bianchi Realty and Property Management for the past 4 years. Every time we need something done they are always right on top of it. We've needed services and replacements for our fridge, AC, garbage disposal, and dishwasher and they immediately contacted the owners about installation. I highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: The Bianchi team were fantastic! This was my first experience using a realtor and Brenda was great! We bought our first home with them. We had many special requests and she satisfied all our needs. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Brenda and her team have always been our go-to when it comes to all things real estate. The professionals at Bianchi Realty are dedicated to finding homes that fit our need as well as helping us sell our properties in the past. They've always handled our business transactions as if it were their own- I recommend this company to all of my friends and family looking for a stress free experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Bought my house with Brenda Bianchi Realty and they really made a daunting task easy! Brenda has a plethora of knowledge and experience in the industry and was key to making us comfortable with such a large purchase. She helped us negotiate a great price and we are now happily in our forever home. From start to finish they were there to hold our hand every step of the way. I tell all my friends looking to buy/sell how great they were. Really can’t say enough good things!

Experiencia fantástica: Brenda sold my house about 10 years ago. The process was very painless and I got more for it than I expected. Since then I have been renting from this company and the service has been superb. Any problems with the house are addressed quickly and efficiently. My water heater went out on the weekend and a new one was installed before the day was over. I highly recommend anyone to do business with Bianchi Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: We would like to recommend Bianchi Realty as a property manager and applaud them for a great job with managing our property while we live out of state. We have been very pleased with all of their efforts and have peace of mind knowing our property is being handled with their professional staff. As a rebuttal to Eric's earlier post, please know that he is a scam artist and was a tenant of ours. His review did not reveal that he was a tenant and his comments were misleading and were certainly not accurate. Why would a tenant be owed any money? Without going into details, please ignore his comments since none of them are true. Bianchi Realty did a wonderful job with a less than honest tenant. Please talk with them about managing your property - you'll be glad you did.

Experiencia positiva: Nice people work there and they are help four

Experiencia negativa: Have had nothing but a horrible experience with this agency. I have never in my life met such dishonest people. I would never, renter or owner, place or rent from this agency. Their property manager is one of the worst managers I have come in contact with and IF he worked for my company I would have released him a long time ago. I am still waiting on my reimbursement of $2,092.00 We are now approaching month 4. I will be so thankful when this lease is over.

Experiencia fantástica: I lived in one of their units in South Pasadena and i must say they were always there for me when needed. Josh was my contact person and he was always helpful and saw to it that things were completed however things rarely broke.I met Brenda the owner during a walk through when the owner wanted to see the unit and she was delightful. Thanks for the professionalism and the beach view. If i return to Pinellas county it will be Gulf coast preferred Realty i will seek. Anthony Harris

Experiencia negativa: I went and saw a home that was available for rent through this company and gave my application the very next day. The assistant Jackie said that she had only received one application and that she was not going to "put it through because she was not impressed with it." I told her all about myself and she said that she would definitely put my application in and saw no problem with me as a tenant and that I was next in line for the home. I emailed my application at 1:55pm and there were still no other applications in at that time and dropped off my application fee around 6pm (after driving 30 minutes across town in rush hour traffic). I received a confirmation that my application fee was received around 8:00am the following business day (which was a Thursday). I received a call from the agent who showed me the property that they gave the home to someone else. I was very upset and questioned the transaction as I was told that I was next. He informed me that the woman Jackie did not have the authority to decide which application got "pushed through" or not and that it was solely up to him. I have nothing on my background (no arrests, no foreclosures, no bankruptcy, no short sale NOTHING) and had the cash on hand to give first and security as well as a non-refundable $250 pet fee for my beagle. After being told that "for being a paralegal I am not that intelligent" and that I have "selective hearing" by their office assistant I informed them that I would be filing a complaint with the BBB, which I intend to do. I am a paralegal in the real estate industry and the way they handle their office is unethical and I would not recommend doing business with them ON ANY LEVEL! (tenant or owner). There are so many property management companies out there that are more professional when it comes to conducting business that I would go through any other agency than this. If this is how they treat potential clients, I would not want to see how they treat their tenants.
