On behalf of a sizeable investor group, First Keystone Property Group (www.1keystone.com) has worked with Cathie Lee & Woody Mann and the Vista Team for 30 years. I can authoritatively declare that this organization has staked out a very special space within the vast commercial real estate investing world. Defining their space can be boiled down to two simple words: rigor & hands-on. Every day, the entire Vista Team performs with these bedrock principles in mind. When an acquisition is being considered, we can count on analytical discipline coupled to the highest managerial standards. That’s “rigor” in my book. Then, once the property is added to Vista’s portfolio, as investors, we can depend on Vista professionals paying attention to the little things that distinguish a top-notch property from the rest of the field. This attitude & approach helps explain why Vista-managed properties powered their way through the chaos of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and then successfully rode out the Great Pandemic Recession three years later. Tenants & investors both experienced a positive outcome. (First Keystone is a developer of industrial space for rent or purchase in Pecos, West Texas.)

It is my pleasure to recommend Vista Management Company as a property management provider.

Heritage Plastics has been taken care of by Vista for over 9 years. Laura, our offsite manager is available and frequently onsite to check on us and follow up on issues. The onsite employees are very responsive and personable. We are a smaller space in the building, but have never been overlooked.

Dear Building Owner and Property Manager,

I am writing a letter of recommendation as a longtime tenant for the property known as 1921 Loh mans Crossing Ste 100 Austin, TX 78734 and managed by Vista Management Company. Vista regularly re-assesses our landscaping. They are quick to install upgrades to the landscaping when needed. Our office especially appreciated the extra attention after the winter storm of 2021 which devastated the plant life around the building.

Regular maintenance includes the washing of windows, power washing sidewalks, parking garage, re-striping the parking lot. Care is given to maintain exterior

lighting in the parking lot and the garage. Communication is shared via email and text message when there are matters of extreme importance. Fire drills are scheduled regularly. Notices are sent to our office when winter or rainstorms may present damaging conditions.

We continue to enjoy the professional attention we receive from the building owner and Vista Management during our tenancy in our building.

Meaningful Relationship are a core value of ours at Azzip. This includes not only customers and employees, but also our community partners, suppliers, and business partners.

Vista Management was an exceptional business partner during the five years we worked together in a landlord-tenant relationship for our Terre Haute, IN location. Our business there grew tremendously over the five years, and the team at Vista was supportive and willing to work with us to help us achieve that growth. It was clear they wanted us – and the entire center – to succeed in reaching our goals.

The team at Vista was always responsive to our requests, and they worked with us to navigate through all the changes and challenges the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the restaurant industry.

We will miss having Vista and the team as a partner in Terre Haute!

“I would like to take time to let you and Cathie know how much you are appreciated!  My physicians have been pleased with the attention that we receive when we call day or night with concerns regarding our suite in Conroe.  What stands out the most would be your helpful personality and eagerness to please.

This past year we began an upgrade in our medical suite and optical.  We are located on the bottom floor and first to be seen as you enter the building.  We felt that you and Cathie listened and took a personal interest in meeting needs to assist in making a dramatic improvement in our suite and optical.  It was a win-win for all!

The major upgrades to the interior, walk ways and landscaping have added an updated charm to the building.  Patients remark how spectacular things look.”

“Panera Bread opened at LaCenterra in December of 2007.  The success of our opening was due in no small part to a great working relationship with Vista Equities Group.  From our first conversations, it was evident that Vista was on our side.  Everyone at Vista were very easy to communicate with, and they were extremely supportive of our concept.  I always considered Vista and Panera to be part of the same team.  Having worked with developers across the country, I can say without hesitation that Vista was one of the friendliest, and at the same time, one of the most professional groups I have had the pleasure of interacting with.”
