Home shouldn't be homework.

We're hospitality people who have looked after homes in Fort Lauderdale for decades. Vesta is how we do it for you.

How Vesta came to be

  1. For decades

    We learned the trade in hospitality

    We've spent our careers managing properties here in Broward. Hospitality teaches you to notice the drip before it's a leak, and to have a home ready before anyone asks.

  2. As our portfolio grew

    We built the systems behind it

    More homes meant a real routine: regular inspections, a bench of vendors we trust, a storm-season checklist. Somewhere along the way it was clear other homeowners could use the same thing.

  3. The last few years

    Two kinds of homeowners needed it most

    We watched more longtime homeowners want a steady hand with the house as they got older, and more second-home owners spend half the year here and the other half wondering about it.

  4. Today

    So we started Vesta

    Hospitality-grade care for the house you actually live in, run by people who know Fort Lauderdale homes, and the vendors who work on them.

Tanner Friend

Founder and CEO

Tanner bought his first property in Maryland at 16 and has been looking after homes ever since. He has spent a decade in South Florida hospitality, including helping open two of Greater Fort Lauderdale's most iconic hotels: the guitar-shaped tower that reshaped the skyline, and a luxury oceanfront landmark on Fort Lauderdale Beach. He brings that culture of luxury hospitality to the Vesta team: details handled before you notice them, and service that feels personal.

Who we look after

Homeowners who'd rather not do it all

You love the house. You're done chasing contractors, climbing ladders and waiting around for the A/C guy. We take that list off your plate and keep you in the loop.

Second-home owners

You're here for the season and gone for the rest. We check on the house while you're away, handle what comes up, and get it ready before you're back.

Families looking out for their parents

Your parents love their home, but they shouldn't be up on ladders or managing contractors, and you shouldn't have to fly in to deal with it. We look after the house and keep the whole family in the loop.

A home should be enjoyed. It just needs the right touch.

That's the whole idea behind Vesta. We handle the upkeep, the vendors and the what-ifs, so the time you spend at home is actually yours.
