Internationally accomplished and experienced, Tampa Bay area REALTOR® Abdul Hasib Azizi (known as Zi) is the veritable face of the American dream. Born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, Zi visited Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates often. Due to his upbringing, he learned five languages, including English, Persian languages Dari, Pashto and Farsi, and Western India's Urdu. Because of his travels, Zi fell in love with waterfront living, a passion that would eventually take him to Florida's west coast.
Zi graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration from the Swiss University for management, economics and finance in Kabul. He soon thereafter emigrated to St. Petersburg, where he quickly integrated his active lifestyle into the city's vibrant culture and business community. In 2015, Zi became a licensed real estate professional and began selling what he most likes about Tampa Bay: Its "can-do" attitude and relaxed tropical lifestyle, which makes the region one of the most sought-after areas in Florida.
An ambassador to the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, Zi has brought his cross-cultural global outlook to assist his customers from around the world. He has not only personally sold millions of dollars in Florida real estate, but has also made numerous referrals to other associates, selling luxury properties nationwide, including exclusive homes in the North Carolina mountains. He believes in hard work, getting the job done and bold and fast action. While Zi loves to multiply his successes, he also loves helping others in the community as an active and proud member of Rotary International. His attention to detail, to building close relationships, and zest for life adds up to his making his customers' experiences truly rewarding.
Zi excels in Florida's water sports. On any weekend, you can find him kayaking through the tributaries in Fort De Soto Park, wave running on the Gulf of Mexico or swimming at Pass-a-Grille Beach. An accomplished dancer, Zi is a regular at the Gulfport Recreation Center, dancing to East Coast Swing, Salsa and his favorite, Argentine Tango.
