Have been in a Vesta managed unit for the past few years and am always so impressed by their speed of response and quality of service when it comes to maintenance requests. I have had a few different managers in the city across different apartments, and am always grateful to be at a Vesta unit more than anyone else. Responses are fast. Issues are resolved quickly. They are fair to tenants. Paul and team are top notch. read more

Paul and the team at Vesta has been an amazing partner for me as a landlord living out of state. After having spent years trying to self-manage remotely, and working with individuals doing property management as more of a side hustle, it was such a relief to find Vesta. Truly zero complaints from renters, zero issues that they weren't able to manage that I ever had to weigh in on, and all at a very reasonable cost. Additionally, Paul has been a great resource as I've tried to navigate setting an appropriate rent and understand trends as I consider selling. Couldn't recommend Vesta more highly. Thanks, Paul! read more

Halfway through my Lower Pac Heights lease, Vesta became the property management company for the building/unit that I was staying in. During the ~6 months of their management, they were responsive to emails and addressed any concerns we had about the property. Payments and maintenance requests were conveniently made through the Appfolio portal. Upon moving out, inspection services were very reasonable, detailed, and timely. Appreciate Paul and the Vesta team for the helpful service offered to my roommates and me! read more

I hope others have better luck with Vesta than we have had. Most recently, Vesta hired a newly formed LLCs with a single member who is a partner of an employee or employee to do maintenance. I can only hope that Vesta doesn't then charge our building owner for all the many multiple visits and repairs (we're at seven months and have had around two dozen 24 hour notices of entry). Vesta leaves at least this tenant with repairs falling apart after less than two hours (photo). Many other repairs took months to complete. From Yelp reviews and two Vesta Google locations, some reviews speak to Vesta getting online sites to take down bad reviews. Many good reviews appear to be from the vendors to which Vesta steers business (see reviews from R&L plumbing for example, they charged for four months of visits to our place to fix and repair one not-up-to-code bathroom toilet and smell). "Positive" reviews on sites are often by profiles with no site presence and only one or two reviews. Maybe they just really love Vesta. With Vesta's "app based approach" to property management, requests go right to their designated contractors, and you as the tenant handle communications, access to building, and overseeing work. Seems like a great solution for Vesta. Bills must go to the landlord from what we have seen and as the contractors have told us. When one landlord online in their review of Vesta complained about all the maintenance charges, Vesta stated their strong commitment to responding to tenants requests in a timely manner. However, Looking at tenants reviews, you see incomplete repairs and work performed by Vesta acquaintances (in our case a newly formed LLC and no business presence online that we could find, no name on their vehicle, and when we tried to find a way to contact them after repairs started failing the same day, online says they have one member who is connected to an employee of Vesta. Which was very odd to us). Vesta is a great business model and appears to be a profitable one for Vesta. I cannot speak for landlords getting the maintenance bills. And for tenants, I wish you better luck than us, take photos, and screenshot "app" requests. Vesta's system has a habit of deleting our requests and any record of them. Vesta was very responsive (less than 12 hours) in responding to our negative review. This was as fast if not much faster than their responses to any one of our dozens of maintenance issues over the last seven months. We're at about two dozen "24 Hour Notices of Entry" (including late Friday for a Saturday repair that made both bedrooms inaccessible and forced us to cancel a visit from out of town family). And numerous other visits from contractors including electrical, plumbing, ceiling noise/acoustics, stove repair and heating repair. read more

I would strongly advise against being a renter in a property managed by Vesta. When an issue occurs, you will be unable to get anyone on the phone in any timely matter. Everything must go through their portal, which results in days before third-party vendors are contacted. Those third-party vendors are provided inaccurate and insufficient information to do their jobs effectively. Like most property management businesses like Vesta are increasingly trying to use AI and other software solutions to outsource their core responsibilities. It results in a very poor tenant experience. Candidly, if I was a homeowner considering using them to manage one of my properties, I would think long and hard about doing so. I've lived in a Vesta-managed unit for a year and a half at this point in Noe Valley. No one from their organization has so much as visited the property in 18 months, despite a considerable number of meaningful structural issues that have arisen during our occupancy. And this is in a premium rental (over $7k monthly rent). I would not sleep well at night as a homeowner if a meaningful portion of my net worth was tied up in a physical asset that was managed by Vesta. As a tenant, if I had two comparable options to choose between and one was managed by Vesta, I would run towards the other option. read more

Great customer service. Very timely and responsive, whether over email or through the resident portal they get back to you quickly

Good experience having them as my apartment's property management company. Very prompt and reliable.

I had a great experience with Vesta and the owner Paul. I rented a 1 bedroom apartment and they made the move in / out process easy, and were very responsive whenever a repair in the unit was needed. I'd rent from them again in the future. They take good care of their tenants. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Vesta is a greedy operation that could not give two shits about their tenants. Even when you try to be reasonable, they are no help; even if the issue is not your fault (ie. a CHEMICAL SPILL in THEIR garage). And even if MULTIPLE tenants in the same building are complaining of physical symptoms, still nothing. They will take no responsibility and even ghost when you reach out to them. DO NOT RENT FROM VESTA. read more

Excellent response and service from Vesta Asset Management and Harrison Services. As a renter for one of their properties, I highly recommend Vesta. They have a very quick inquiry and response method and they truly care about tenants and take good care of us. read more

Our garage was broken into and Vesta never responded to any of our calls or text messages. They also don't let us know when there are men working on the fire escape. So I get freaked out when I see random men having access to my unit through the fire escape. There was also a known flooding in the unit above while we were away and when we returned our unit was wet and moldy. Vesta never notified us even though they knew the flood went through our unit and into the unit below us. I miss our old landlord. read more

I rented from a property managed by Vesta and had a great experience! Really good response time, if any issues came up I could speak to someone on the phone quickly. Everyone I interacted with at Vesta was helpful and kind. Additionally, they clearly communicated notices to us (fire alarm testing, etc.) with plenty of heads up. Overall, I had a great experience with Vesta and would live in one of their managed properties again! read more

Paul is super helpful. Our garage door wasn't functioning well, and we needed someone to fix it ASAP. He took care of us, and within 2 hours, it was all taken care of. read more

Vesta was great to work with during our 3+ year tenancy. We appreciated Vesta's quick response time on maintenance requests as well as the professional and knowledgeable vendors that Vesta chose to fulfill those requests. We were impressed when Paul once worked with the property owner to help us get approval for bringing a puppy into our home. Thank you Vesta for taking such good care of us and the home! We would be pleased to work with you again on a future rental. read more

I used Vesta for my property in San Francisco for the past year. Solid technology platform, highly responsive, and overall hassle free, which as an owner was ideal. Overall very good experience for my tenant as well. read more

they've been managing my rental for the past year and they've been nothing but stellar. highly recommended. read more

At first I thought Vesta would be different from other hands off property management companies in San Francisco that only care about collecting our overinflated rent while not even bothering to maintain run down properties. Boy was I wrong. They're worse. Don't let the "CEO"s comments attacking people in reply to their reviews all over Yelp fool you. They don't care about the underprivileged, which should include working class renters just trying to stay in this city by the skin of our teeth. In fact I don't even think they're a real company as their address listed is for one of those cheapie postal shops in Diamond Heights. Seems like they work out of their homes or maybe a wework while keeping a post office box address in Diamond Heights. You can clearly see it in Google maps, speaking of being so obvious. So I'm guessing they wanted a higher end address to trick all of their overseas hands off property owner clients into letting them handle their "assets." Attached is a photo of the Jensen's Mail & Copy where Vesta claims they're located, but only have a mailbox inside. In the 90s when I first moved to SF we had onsite propriety managers in every building I lived in. Now landlords just throw money at hands off companies like Vesta to have the veneer of a professional building management company, who only call contractors to do the actual work of fixing and maintaining the property, acting as a middleman. They do not care about the basic needs of existence for the people living in their buildings at all, and act like you're a nuisance for drawing their attention to things that were obviously installed incorrectly in the building and are now broken and causing an extremely loud noise that's keeping tenants awake at night, not to mention possibly causing destruction to the building itself. Or about other tenants in the building that throw garbage all over the front of the building causing a pest infestation. And tenants running and screaming through the hallways day and night, making it darn near impossible to actually live in the building that is supposedly managed by a "professional" building management company. Would it be too much to ask our property manager to maybe just send out a polite little email to all tenants reminding them nicely to not act like buffoons and to consider that other people exist? I guess it is. They'd rather roll their eyes at decent tenants and send us nasty and rude emails in reply. How about the fact that they installed loud beeping fire alarms all over the building that are now beeping all day and all night keeping tenants awake? They'll get to it one day they claim. Or how about the fact that the light was out in the front entrance for MONTHS now, and John has ignored the maintenance request to replace it, marking the request completed. Oh yes the portal seems very convenient. But it's totally useless if John just marks every request completed without actually doing anything. There's so much more, and it gets worse, but basically if you have nobody overseeing a place it's obviously left to the tenants own devices to run a building, which is what happens if you hire Vesta Asset Management. And many of those tenants don't know how to run their own lives, as observed by the screaming matches one of them had in the lobby for 3 nights straight. I sure do miss the days when property managers would actually at least pretend to try to reign in the insanity in a building. Just know this - if you're hiring Vesta you're hiring an absentee company that will collect your money and pretend to do things. They do not care about you, about your assets, or about the people that unfortunately have to live within that "asset." Hands off is the most polite thing I can think of to call this "management" company. Find anyone else to manage your property. And I highly recommend not moving into a building that's "managed" by Vesta, unless you like being abused. No judgment if that's your kink. It's not mine. Now I await the rude, defensive, and aggressive reply from the "CEO" of this shill of a company. Oh and I'm 100% sure that Paul has been getting his contractors that he works with to write nice reviews. And then getting bad reviews deleted. Instead of, ya know, trying to improve the job that they do for tenants and for building owners. Let the CEO, Paul's, own behavior be the judge of your future interactions with this property management company. Paying contractors to write good reviews, making rude and nasty comments on honest reviews. Trying to belittle and shame their own clients. This is not how a professional behaves. Hi read more

Paul and team were amazing to work with while we rented from them. Highly recommend for anyone looking to rent!

When I moved out they never communicated with me regarding where to leave the keys, etc. I left the front door keys in the drawer. They called a Lock smith to open the door without checking if I could let him in, and charged me $350. They also charged me $200 to remove a TV wall mount that was there when I moved in. Other than that it was a pretty good place to live and convenient location. read more

I worked with this company on a property and would recommend others to reach out to Paul. Amazing service!

Paul has always been super helpful. She was always super helpful when she managed our property. More recently, she was very accessible to help get some documents from when she was our property manager. Thanks for your help Paul! read more

I highly recommend Vesta to manage your property. Paul and the team have been great to work with. They are very knowledgeable, courteous, responsive and efficient. Always a pleasure! read more

Paula Griffiths CEO, Vesta Asset Management, Inc. It's been a year, and I'm still reeling. I've owned property off and on in San Francisco for over 25 years. Paula Griffiths and Vesta Asset Management delivered such a terrible experience we could not get away from her fast enough. We felt so uncomfortable renting our property after two years with Vesta, we sold the place as soon as we could get the tenant out. She can be a great advocate -- for your tenant, and not you as a landlord. Steer clear. read more

I used Vesta to manage a condo I rented out and have only great things to say about them. From the very first day after I contacted them, Paul was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, efficient... just on top of everything. I worried at first that maybe this was the stellar treatment I'd received was only because I was a prospective client and that once I was locked into a contract the level of client service would drop, but not so! Paul and his team remained responsive and helpful throughout the years they managed my condo. From the tenant-side, I believe my tenants found them very responsive when it came to dealing with maintenance requests. The only reason I ended my contract with Vesta is because I decided to sell my condo. Highly recommend Vesta! read more

I've lived in a vesta managed apartment for the last four years and have a really positive experience. Recommended them as a company to rent from! read more

SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY. Vesta has been managing our property for less than a year and I have never felt so unsafe. Today we had someone from the management company enter the premises (unannounced) and when he left, he failed to properly close the gate to the backyard. With all the crime in the city, luckily no one entered the property and since I work from home, I was able to catch it. When I called Vesta to report the issue, no one answered nor did I receive a call back. Vesta is half-assing their jobs at best. There is little to no customer service and they definitely do not care about their properties. I would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

Vesta Management where do i start? From reading all the negative review and the respond of the business owner to negative review is horrible. Today Lizzette Hasbun kept sending me harassing emails on how rude i was and unprofessional like she had not read any of her own words and hostility towards me! I kept asking her an update to the work maintenance i requested in regards garage door that keeps going up in the middle of the night! Its a safety hazard and we requested it back in July and its Sept 8 still no concrete answer as to when or who will come to fix it! You claim your a Property management company and couldn't even find anyone to fix it? No back up people to work for emergency such as this?? What if we're sleeping and the garage went up without our knowlege and got robbed, hurt or killed? What are they going to say? Sorry?! Please believed all the bad reviews on this company! Rude workers specially Lizzette, i tried contacting Paula the owner but no respond was made maybe on my review she will respond to me and blame me for her staff action! I called her to let her know whats going on and hopefully be the middle person in this situation. I alao requested to Lizette to maybe transferred my case to someone else but she declined and still continue to have some none sense argument with me! She have showed no effort whatsoever to fix the matter and meet me halfway she basically wanted me to be under her!! I cannot believe their behavior. And how the management/owner are letting her staff to be like this. Lizzette feels very superior and power trip! She had no respect and had disregards about anyones feelings except hers!! Paula was cc on our email conversation and i am appalled to see that she found nothing wrong on how her employees talk to their client! Arrogant, superior and rude!!! Lizzette threatened to not respond to me anymore she said none of her coworkers will help me too. read more

A follow up, your smarmy PR speak spin to the heartless way you operate is still upsetting to me these months later even after we have gone. Wanting to finish a home improvement project and remembering how you savagely came through and gave us a few days to clear out our living space. I hope the readers are able to see that some platitudes and spin simply isn't true, it wasn't for our safety, it's cause you know your'e bad at your job and it's easier for you to flex on people instead of fixing what actually needed to be done. You lack empathy, you didn't fix the real problems, you just steamroll, and are terrible to the owner as well. I hope people actually read this and see what a nightmare of a business you all are running and how much pain you're causing people. I'm not having a good day, cause of you. read more

We worked with Vesta Asset Management for a number of years in managing our 3-unit property. We live out of the area and relied very heavily on Paul and his crew. They were fabulous! They were professional, efficient, patient, knowledgeable and responsive. They helped us with upkeep, emergencies, and legal issues. They provided guidance when problems arose. They supplied us with much needed information and assistance as we moved through the sale of the property. They went above and beyond for us many times during these years. And they all were a pleasure to work with. They were respectful of our elderly father who was on site, and of our tenants. We could not have asked for more. We recommend them very highly! read more

We had a positive experience with Paul while discussing the terms of our lease. He was helpful and patient in answering our questions. We did face some confusion when one of his employees got the wires crossed and called us asking us about a different lease but besides that things were good. read more

It's inevitable that situations occur in a building from plumbing to graffiti removal and these problems often need to be addressed quickly in most cases. Vesta has been managing the building in which I live for a number of years now and I want to say that they always deal with any issue right away. They are easy to contact online and have a simple format for reporting any problem. From my experience I would highly recommend them. read more

Working with Vesta Asset Management was great!. Smooth and prompt communication, and room for flexibility with my crazy schedule. Highly recommend read more

Really impressed. They are a dedicated management company providing helpful and clear guidance. Thanks again.

I have lived in my apartment for nearly 20 years. When my landlord moved to a property manager, I was worried. I have only had bad experience with property managers in the past. I find Vesta to be very responsive. Their online portal he's very easy to use, and they are very proactive. Recently, they sent out a plumber to assess the plumbing in my apartment, and I ended up with two new faucets and a new garbage disposal. All installed in the same day. TThe smoke alarms are inspected every year now, there are fire extinguishers everywhere, and the smallest request to fix a light or the door to our recycling area is taken care of immediately. It's been a great experience working with Vesta. read more

We were tenants under Paula for 3 years. It was an incredibly valuable experience in that we learned firsthand risks to BOTH tenant and property owner of poor asset management. We learned after leaving that our landlord was completely in the dark on issues she said she ran by him, or issues we had in general with the home. This was a new, beautiful space - so I can only imagine if it were an older building etc. To get basic things fixed like a broken toilet or fridge, it would require 2-4 visits from her unqualified handy persons, who in the end would recommend total replacement. To illustrate the level of qualification, these service persons would often be googling how to fix things. Repairs that should have been overseen by her team were not. For example, I stopped a repair person from cutting into kitchen cabinets. She lied, name called (she has a temper!), and the list goes on. The one thing she could be relied on for was to look out for herself. Things became easier to navigate as tenants once we realized that. Some of the situations were so absurd we laugh about it now. Overall, I cannot recommend her, to put it mildly. read more

They have done a GREAT job of finding us good tenants. Easy to work with. Paul is great.

I have been so incredibly impressed with Vesta Asset Management as a tenant, and specifically, with their lovely portfolio manager- Lizzette. I am so very sad to be leaving my rental condo that was managed by VAM, and am only doing so so that I can move in with my partner. I've never experienced such streamlined, convenient service in a property management company (least of all in SAN FRANCISCO which is so competitive that I've had past landlords tell me to fix things myself). I love their portal, which makes it so easy to pay rent and report any maintenance needs. I filed multiple requests for things to be fixed around the house, and they were always attended to EXTREMELY quickly. Lizzette would even follow up personally at times after a ticket was closed to ensure that we were satisfied with the job done :) While I'm excited for my next living arrangement, I know there's low chance that the management company will be nearly as good as VAM! Thank ya'll so much for everything. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle from Vesta Asset Management. She was extremely pleasant to work with and helpful through the signing of my new lease! She always had quick answers and responded nearly immediately. Much appreciated, thank you, Michelle! read more

Charged 6 months of utilities all at once, without an itemized breakdown. They messed it up and took no accountability.

Lived at 601 4th Street, which had a truly terrible/bullying property manager for the building (Sergey at Cityscape). Thank you to Paula for advocating for us even though we were just renters and not on the HOA board. We didn't expect that she'd go out of her way, especially since other rental agencies would have probably just gotten rid of us to get rid of the hassle (experienced that with Golden Gate Properties). Highly recommend Vesta if you actually care about the integrity of who will be managing your property, Paula is one of the good ones. read more
