Since NYC laws also require that tenants have a local number to call in an event of an emergency and with the large number of investors who have recently purchased properties in Staten Island, Safari Realty will be in a position to also provide these much needed services for owners and tenants alike. Frank Reali, president of Safari Realty is pleased to announce that American Star Realty and its property management division will be merged in to the Safari family. Erol Hernandez, current owner of American Star, will head up the American Safari Property Management of Safari Realty as vice president. In addition, the agents from American Star have accepted sales position as as new members of the Safari Realty sales team. The property management division will be housed at the corporate headquarters at 1958 Victory Boulevard.

Experience

"Mr. Hernandez brings over 23 years of successful real estate and property management experience to Safari Realty," said Frank Reali. "We feel confident that the trust, reputation and high profile visibility of Safari Realty paired with the personal management approach of Erol Hernandez will provide a solid foundation on which to expand our services." With hundreds of properties presently under contract, Hernandez' hands on management style has allowed successful diversification into a variety of property types, and Safari Realty will be in a position to expand that customer base by creating a service atmosphere that will be an advantage to those associations who consider our property management division. In addition to basic property management, Erol offers consultations, asset management, investment and property values.

Hernandez who resides in Castleton Corners, Staten Island with his wife Holly, and children, Erol and Gillian, has worked with investors from throughout the country and provides honest, reliable, and fair services to the entire tri-state area. Listed among the present properties that will immediately benefit by this merger will be residential 1 and 2 family homes throughout Staten Island, condominium associations as well as home owners associations (HOA's) in Heartland Village, New Springville, Port Richmond, Rosebank, Rossville, Stapleton and Tottenville.

Safari Realty will not be restricted to the residential market place as contracts are in place in the commercial arena already. To coincide with addition, Frank Reali announced that there will also be expansion to the current rental department with added and creative features to benefit both landlords and tenants in their search for a reputable solution to their prospective needs. Also plans are in place for an expanded, professionally staffed commercial real estate division.
