Company

It is no small feat to maintain a family business for 40 years.  Vista has thrived as a  respected member of Winston-Salem’s robust and competitive real estate community. 

In November of 1979, 40 years ago this month, Paul Mullican and Don Caudle, were a part of the movement to develop affordable housing in the suburban areas around Winston-Salem.  With their wives Barbara Caudle and Darla Mullican leading the helm a partnership was formed to manage those properties.  When other members of the Winston-Salem building and development community saw their efficiency and success, they were approached to manage additional properties.  Never one to pass opportunity by, Vista Realty was officially established.  They started a family business that grew to be a leader in the local property management industry and to provide rental investment opportunities across the triad.

After thirty years of dedication and success, the Mullicans confidently passed operations of Vista Realty over to their daughter, Heather Coleman. Heather had worked at Vista every summer of her childhood.  Her passion for real estate and business administration found its natural match when she formally joined the company after getting her MBA in 1999.  Now, as President, Heather and her team of dedicated Vista employees have grown the company to include the management of thousands of apartment properties, a multitude of homeowners associations, and an ever growing number of single family rental homes.  They have earned a stellar reputation of wading a sometimes tricky investor real estate market to protect their clients’ interests and assets.
