We asked Avesta to explain what they do. Here is what they had to say.
We are business people - temporary stewards of value creation. We leave this world without material possessions; only our impact remains. While alive, we simultaneously create, manage, and entrust to the next generation. Since 2010, we've acquired over 13,000 apartment homes and served over 30,000 residents.

We asked Avesta for some inside information on how to get hired at the organization. Here is what they had to say.
What key characteristics tell you a prospective employee will be a great fit for your company?
We want people who are driven by purpose. The key, non-negotiable character trait we look for in potential teammates is whether or not the candidate has a burning desire to cheerfully serve others. Whether you are serving those you manage or serving your customers (our residents) directly, you must believe in servant leadership and have a passion for developing those around you personally and professionally.
What can prospective employees do to get your attention?
Be real. Admit when you have missed a goal. Be honest about your weaknesses and where you can improve. Tell us what inspires you. Help us get to know who you are as a person. Explain the life lessons you have learned from those closest to you. We are very candid about our areas of improvement as a company in addition to our own individual shortcomings. We want people to be happy in the deepest sense; for the typical Avesta teammate, our commitment to our Virtues, Vision and Mission is something that should contribute to that person's happiness, inside and outside of their work environment.
Are there any positions or types of candidates you are particularly focused on hiring in this coming year?
We are always looking for A+ talent, by A+ we mean the top 1% in the industy. We want top producers. We people who are not only top producers in their company, yet top producers in the industry. We are currently looking for Operations Managers who have a deep comprehension of asset management. We also want self-driven, team-spirited fundraisers who can raise serious capital.
