My wife and I have used Vista for around 7 years now to manage our Condo rental in Milton. Kathy Chow has managed our unit for the past few years and has always been very responsive with any questions we have had. We have always had good experiences with Vista.
Kelly has gone above an beyond to help us. He is 100% responsive and quick to help us solve problems. I would highly recommend the company as long as Kelly is part of the team!
I am an owner of a condo unit in Puyallup. VISTA Community took over our property management recently and have had a LOT of mess to help sort out and clean up from our previous property management company. VISTA (and Kelly Burningham in particular!) have gone above and beyond dealing with getting us set up with new landscaping, handyman services, fixing very messy former accounting, guiding our newly installed HOA board through a plethora of issues. VISTA (and Kelly!) have been extremely transparent and communicative. VISTA (and Kelly!) have also gone above and beyond to help my husband and I through a messy sales transaction (we're pending, so fingers crossed we can get to closing in one piece). While we are hoping to sell our condo and never have to deal with another HOA for as long as we live, we are extremely grateful to VISTA (and Kelly!) for swooping in and saving us. We fully expect the new owners to be very pleased with this new property management company (and also save money on dues with the way they are now managing our complex).
All interactions we have had with Vista Property Management have been great! They are quick to respond and happy to help! I look forward to continuing to work with them!
I've been here for 5 years. Management (Lori)keeps up on the property so it always looks nice. Maintenance (Bud) prompt on fixing any issues very friendly and professional when coming into my home. Girls in the office are always friendly and helpful Thanks for making this a great place to live.
I have lived here in MPP for four years we move out of the state unfortunately but now I'm back and is so great to see that the same manager Lori is here I felt great to see her because with her in charge everything is kept clean and organized it was also great to meet the maintenance Bud great guy very knowledgeable and fast response to any issues in the units the office staff great and very professional! If you are looking for a place to live comfortable and peaceful contact Vista Property Management!
Kathy Chow has done a fabulous job managing my rentals in Fife. She keeps me informed and has good recommendations for making sure it is rented quickly and to the best tenants. I appreciate the 6 month updates on each property, including photos. Cory Brown is the maintenance person at Vista. I have been especially happy with his ability to hone in on a problem and address it immediately. I have been informed about progress every step of the way. I have been with Vista for several years now and the service has definitely improved with the addition of Kathy and Cory to the staff. Thank you!!!
We recently had the privilege of working with Vista Property Management on a tree project in their community. From the initial contact with Joshua Knight to the completion of the project, the experience was flawless. Their communication was clear, professional, timely and friendly! That being said, we look forward to working with them again in the future!!! Thank you! Sky High Tree Removal
I really appreciate Vista PM and especially my manager, Kathy Chow, for their exceptional service. Shortly after their taking over the management from the previous PM company, Kathy Chow and Vista personel has turned my property around quickly from its lowest point to a fully occupied premise and the result speaks for itself. This must be the team effort with the key player, Kathy, who is very attentive and professional. Kathy nails down every little problems to make sure nothing is missed and keeps track of them well. Kathy works tirelessly to look after everyone interests. She always comes up with a workable solution to any situation. My appreciation also go to other staffs, Taylor and Cory, who are so listening and helpful and to Merritt who is behind the success of the Vista team. Thank you so much to you all and my best wishes to your continuing success in the future.
Lori is an awesome Manager. We felt right at home and the place and neighborhood is just wonderful. The property Manager made sure we had everything in order to live comfortable in our new home. Lovely lady and we love our location.
Just wanted to say that Jenny Ross at Vista Property Management is awesome! She is always on top of anything that needs to be handled and so easy to work with. She is so pleasant and fun as well as excellent at her job. Thank you Jenny!
Great staff!
Wonderful service from the onsite manager Lori. She is such a splendid person!
Kelly at Vista is awesome to work with. He is helpful, understanding, and knows his job very well. I know anytime I ask him a question or to send me a document, he wastes no time in getting back to me. Would highly recommend him if you need a property manager.
Lived on the property for years, Great place to live, Always kept cleaned, The on sight manager is great she is always making sure the property is looking good , rain or shine she is always out there doing her job! The office staff is great always friendly and always willing to help and answer any questions I have or any problems that come up! Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a rental 💜
Lori waz very welcoming and nice. 😊
I have worked with most of the people at Vista and have had zero complaints. Jenny first brought me in and i have worked with the most. I have also had the opportunity to work with Kelly, Joshua, Juan, Taylor, Patrice and of course Merritt who seems to keep the office always in high spirits. I would highly recommend working for and with Vista Property Management.
Kathy Chow with Vista Property Management is really attentive and listens well. I am very fortunate to have a property manager that does their job well! If you are a potential tenant or potential property owner, Kathy chow and Vista Property Management should be your first choice!
Taylor does a great job taking care of our rental house. We never have to worry about anything!
Vista property management has been the goto firm for my properties. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and experts in the Auburn/Kent area market. Taylor especially has exceeded expectations time and again.
Kathy was a pleasure to work with during the rental process. I completed the entire process from afar and she made it a breeze. I would highly recommend Vista!
Taylor is the best she made the move so easy. I'm vista properties management
I have worked with Kelly Burningham when I was on an HOA board, Kelly was always very helpful! He always answered the phone or gave me a call right back, he answered my emails very quickly and was very helpful in resolving problems. I highly recommend Kelly Burningham at Vista Property Management.
Kathy chow was the property manager who help me answer all my questions, I am new in this country and area, I really love living at this property! Amazing on-site manager and amazing matinance people. Always here when we are in need.
Great staff, very easy to work with even with the few hiccups that happen! When move out time came the deposit came back shortly after.
I have been with the Vista Property Management team for over 7 years. My Wife and I purchased a Townhouse in the Tacoma area and because I was Active Military and had to move, Vista took over Managing our property. We could not have been more impressed with Vista's professionalism and commitment in ensuring that tenants and homeowners are treated equally and with the upmost respect. My wife and I decided to sell a few months ago and of course we picked Vista to sell our property. I worked with George and Bill from Vista. I can honestly say that I thought that selling our property from a different state was going to be extremely frustration and difficult, I was wrong. George and Bill are outstanding on both sides, buyers and sellers. We would highly recommend Vista Property Management team for everyone. For all Active and fellow Veterans.....Thank you for your service .....and your welcome for introducing you to the best Property Management Team in Washington State.
From a homeowner's perspective Taylor Olson is very detail oriented and professional. she has great follow up and communicates well. I thought she owned the company.......:)
I am a recent renter of Vista. Taylor and Patricia were very helpful in helping me find a place at the last minute. There were some issues but they were quickly resolved. I feel that these folks truly care about their tenants. The maintaince folks are also very nice and quick to fix any problems. I'm in love with my new home. Thank you so much.
Taylor Olson has been one of the best property managers in the business that I have had the privilege dealing with. She is very helpful and very detailed oriented. She answered all our questions and explained the rental process in detail. She is extremely customer focused and was quick to respond to our numerous questions that we had. She made our quick move easy and kept us informed along the way during our approval process. I highly recommend her and her agency for your rental needs.
As President of the Sunset Viewpoint Estates HOA, that contracted Vista Property Management, we could not be more pleased with their services. Particularly Donna Cress, who was assigned as Community Manager. Her professionalism and "right on point" counsel has been invaluable to us. Prompt responses, right attitude, willingness to go the extra mile are just a few examples of her good character traits. We are a newly formed community in Puyallup, WA, and the Board didn't have too much experience in this matter. We are very happy that Donna is on board to face this endeavor. Eduardo Ambros
Patrice worked with us with our not so conventional move in needs as far as getting us approved and in from out of state. She's been super helpful when we had some maintenance issues, and the repair guy has been out 2x, both same day, I believe. We hope to be in our home with Vista until we buy a house. :)
Jenny and Josh are the best! Couldn't, wouldn't run the Board without their tremendous support. Thanks for all you both do to make our community Great!
Taylor Olson is the best! She has an impressive wealth of knowledge, she is very responsive and incredibly patient. I would recommend Vista property management based on her alone.
We just moved into a townhouse and was very pleased with Kathy. She took the time to walk through the townhouse with us. As she was walking through, she made sure we wrote down everything that wasn't up to standards. I really appreciated her doing this and I felt like we had someone who was on our side; as well as wanted the best for us. Thank you Kathy! You are the best!
Kathy Chow was great to work with at signing our lease and with moving in. There was a little hiccup with advertising price at first because of high demand, (which was understandable) for the unit we were looking to move into, but she worked it out and we got to move in at price we originally saw the listing for. She was thorough with our walk through making sure we marked everything that might be a risk of charge if we moved out and explained everything with great detail. She was easy to reach if we had questions and followed up with us after move in if we liked the place. She is very professional and easy to work with. I wish she had stayed our property manager but you can't always have what you want. With great appreciation Ernest, Malia and Zephaniah Tiauli
I am very pleased with Vista Management for providing me an exceptional managing service on my property. Merritt, the company owner, and Kathy, my property manager, and other staff members have resolved issues related to my property as I have requested. Furthermore, Vista PM gives me a peace-of-mind with the semi-annual walkthrough inspection which would help us in preventive measurement and/or planning to stop any problems from getting worse if it could occur any time to my property.
Working with George was a great experience. He worked very quickly in getting me into my new home. I would recommend anyone to use Vista Property Management when looking for a new home. As for the home goes, upon my walk-thru, the home was very clean, fresh paint, and cleaned carpets. The home was very presentable. The rest of the staff that I worked with are very professional and cares a great deal for their rentals.
I've worked with this company since 2014 when I started to rent my house out after a PCS. Very honest folks and kept me informed every step of the way with my tenants. When I decided to sell, George and Bill worked with me from the other side of the country and made sure I got the best deal I could get! We just closed today and I couldn't be happier with the professionalism and honesty everyone at Vista has. Thank you all so much!
Taylor Taylor Taylor! She is best out of best!I worked with Taylor from Vista for leasing my property and she did amazing job of communication with me and potential tenants and keep me informed through out the process and got property leased out in less than 2 weeks. Definitely - i highly recommend her for property management needs to get in touch with her.
Love living at this property! Amazing on-site manager and amazing matinance people. Always here when we are in need. Gorge helped moved us in super fast and made sure everything was to our expectations. Taylor is always on top of things when we request something to be fixed. This is a wonderful amazing family friendly place to raise your family. Neighbors are super friendly! I would highly recommend if your looking to rent, rent with Vista property's.
Moved in, Georgia was great to work with. House was very clean. The property's always look nice. Would highly recommend to friends & family to rent at vista. The on site manager is super friendly, and always willing to help!
Just had to leave a review for Patrice Joe. She has been a lifeline for my family. She has help in so many ways. Very professional, pleasant and to the point. So glad to do business with you.
Excellent attentive and very prompt in addressing tenants' needs and concerns
George was a great partner to work with during my land sale. He kept me in the loop, was knowledgeable, and made what I expected to be a stressful situation easy. Thanks, George!
I am a property owner and have had Vista management taking care of my properties, I was introduced to George, and want to thank him for doing an outstanding job!
Jenny Ross is continuously going above and beyond to better our community. I'm so glad to have her as my HOA manager!!
Best management company in Pierce county. Jenny Ross is the best Community Manager takes her work seriously, very responsiveness, energietic and has turned around several HOAs.
The employees here are what makes them best in the business!
I'd like to start out with the good. Where. I first called and I spoke with Queen she was very nice answered all my questions. Even though I had alot of questions she didn't get upset with me or anything. After our conversation I called back to ask a few more questions and this loud and obnoxiously aggressive man answered the phone. He kept calling me dude and bro! Which is VERY unprofessional. Vista how do you have that boy on your payroll. Team Queen!
Finding the right property management agency is not easy, believe me I know! When coming across Vista property management I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and seriousness they took when handling my properties. I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Sampson to say the least this gentleman truly went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate all of my concerns and questions. George was always just a phone call away to help me through the process. Vista has a very user friendly software that allows owners to check in on the status of their property and income from there investments. After having the pleasure of working with the Vista team I would not take my properties to any other agency.
Taylor was Very Swift with my approval and George was super knowledgeable. I'll be sending my friends and family to them and anyone I hear in the market for a place to live. Taylor Taylor Taylor Taylor!
Good company! George has been extremely helpful to my wife and I. We just recently moved and George has been a pleasure to work with. We look forward to continuing to work with him while we live here.
George was very helpful and assuring in this process. He made the process easy and stayed in contact with me about everything. So happy that my kids and I have a awesome new place. Thanks again!
George is a really nice guy, helped me out really well
QueenZipporah Murray Amazing Service!! Very prompt to answer all of my questions and knowledgeable of properties.
The staff at Vista is very caring and professional. George did a wonderful job with taking my application and giving me a quick response on approval. Since my stay here I have witness how fast the Vista maintenance staff responds to work request. They are fast and gets the job done. Thanks Vista!
Jenny Ross is the property manager for our HOA and she is amazing! She has transformed our community and continues to work hard to make improvements and keep us all on track. She really goes above and beyond. I have been very pleased with Vista and have felt like our community is the top priority.
Vista literally saved us from financial ruin. I have enjoyed working with them over the past four years. We are starting to reap the rewards of being a properly managed community. Our first property manager got us out of the red and fully operational. Our current manager (Jenny, along with Josh our APM) are determined to get us to a point where we are flourishing financially. There was a period of time where there was a lot of turn-over, but everything seems to be on stable ground now... Looking forward to another successful year so we can complete some our much needed community projects!
Unfortunately as property owners we are working our way through a transition from our prior management company which after several years of working with them, we had to make a change due to poor rental collections; poor utility collections; not evicting bad renters in a timely manner; poor attention to the landscaping and maintenance of properties to terrible reports being so difficult understand or navigate; etc. After many hours of searching for a new company; many calls, emails, interviews, etc, we have confidently chose Vista Property Management Company and specifically found that Shannon Tingle has been great. My greatest regret was not doing this sooner! Shannon and the office have been great to answer all my questions, provide any information when needed, assisting in whatever is needed to ensure the transition from the old to the new company is professional and smooth. I love the on line reports - easy access and so much easier to follow / understand. When it comes to your money this is an absolute necessity.
I have some good experiences with Vistas maintenance staff and property management team. They are responsive to feedback and worked with me to get my needs met.
Great people to work with!
Shannon Tingle helped me out of a bind in a hurry, found me a place and moved me in two days later! awesome service and very friendly, She is a great person to work with.
I live out of state and recently had to find and switch to a new property manager for my home in Puyallup, Wa. I submitted an online inquiry through Vista Property Management's website and was contacted promptly by one of their property managers, Ashley Johnson. From the very beginning, Ashley has been amazing to work with. She is very thorough, follows up with her inquiries for needed information, and follows through with what she says she is going to do. She turned a very stressful situation into a walk in the park. If you are a homeowner reading this, I highly recommend Vista and Ashley for your property management needs. Thank you Ashely for all the you have done, you are a blessing!
I was very impressed with Vista and their representative, Catherine. The company's image through Catherine was and is very professional and well-managed while also being very helpful, kind, and personable. Any issues were taken care of very promptly with a great attitude. I highly recommend Vista Prop. Management.
Catherine Barnes is the most professional property manager that I know. Her expertise and experience is extensive. She started managing my apartment building and three of my houses in February 2017. She immediately took on the project of getting one of the houses move in ready. It had been neglected by the previous tenant. She and her team did an amazing job. I now have a wonderful tenant who is happy and I now have a house that is being rented at market value. Yeppie!!! I have been a real estate investor for over 30 years and she is by far the best property manager that I have ever had. I highly recommend her and her team!
Shannon Tingle is the best! My wife and I signed on with Shannon at Vista last year to manage our rental property. Shannon was highly recommenced to me by a friend and our experience so far does not disappoint! Shannon has excellent communication skills. She always gets back to us right away and always maintains a positive and professional attitude! She actually follows up on our applicants references to make sure that we have quality tenants. She seems to want to do a good job for us which is something that is very rare these days. Thanks to Shannon and Vista Property Management for all that you have done!
For several months I had been searching for a new home to rent and had made contact with many different property management companies. Without fail I received lackadaisical response and less than enthusiastic effort by all that I reached out to…….. until I called Vista Property Management. I spoke to Shannon Tingle and was delighted by her bubbly personality and her welcoming demeanor. She was smart and knowledgeable and easily responded to my questions. It was such a nice change to have someone who communicated regularly using email, phone calls and even texting. She genuinely cared about what I needed and my specific situation. As a result, I ended up renting one of their properties in South Hill. It was a bit of an unusual rental due to my circumstances and timing needs… Shannon worked diligently to get this to happen... I rented the house sight unseen because I was familiar with the floor plan, but LARGELY because I had such confidence in Shannon. I have since moved in and love my new home. She has continued to be very responsive to any questions I have had and I have very comfortably referred her to others that I know who are looking for a new home. So if you are looking for someone to help you navigate the waters of finding and renting a home, and would like to find someone who actually cares about your needs…who LISTENS to what you say… then I would highly recommend calling Vista Property Management and ask for Shannon Tingle.
Ashley Larez was awesome. Christina My wife contacted her and the rental was leased Ashley made some phone calls found one for us too see my wife saw it with her on Friday and loved it, She arranged for me to see it Saturday (her day off) it was great we signed the lease 3 days later and are in the process of moving in .A+++++++ I had the pleasure of working with both Ashley's they were awesome loved the rental turned in keys yesterday our new home is ready for us Vista is awesome Ty again Scott Hoskin
My wife and I have been working with Catherine Barnes at Vista Properties since December when we leased a home. Every transaction has been timely and professional, the home was as promised and we are very satisfied. We highly recommend Vista Properties for your next home.
Oh the joys of Vista Property Management...how can I count all the ways? (lol) My home-renting experience with Shannon Tingle, who is my property manager, was glorious. She is a dedicated professional with MOUNDS of personality, attention to detail and personal passion about helping both tenant and home-owner. I was moving from North Carolina to Washington and had no foggy clue about what I was getting into. Shannon made everything easy for me, fought for the home I love and kept me in the loop on all movement surrounding the property. She worked with my moving timetable, calmed my 'moving' nerves and was so easy to work with. She's a gem and I couldn't have asked for a better property manager.... GO VISTA!!
Been a vista tenant over 5 years. Shannon in the office is great to work with. She shows dedication and friendliness that you normally don't see these days. Laurie keeps the development looking good and is always smiling and waiving when she's arounds. I also LOVE the new way of signing a lease on my own computer. Very easy for even those without computer skills. It really gave me as much time as I needed to fully understand what I was signing while in the comfort of my own home. Maintenance requests are also just as easy to submit online. This is an example of technology working to benefit both sides.
We use Vista Property Management to manage our property in Lakewood. Ashley Larez is our agent and she is great! She helped us get our property on the market and rented quickly. She is really friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We are really glad we went with Vista Property Management!
Outstanding...Catherine Barnes is truly an amazing professional. Our experience with Vista Property Management has been a pure joy.
Catherine Barnes has been helpful, prompt and sincere with helping us and our tenants have a good Landlord/tenant experience. She is quick to address any of the tenants need or concerns. She has been very helpful when we needed to get any quotes for repairs or upgrades to our rental with no lapse in communication and found us fair, competitive bids. I would highly reccomend her if you are looking for a good property manager.
Great changes in the accounting department - I can finally speak with someone and have my calls returned, as an owner, a huge plus. Lori is friendly, knowledgeable and very customer service oriented.
After looking into different property's my husband and I believed that for our situation that Vista Property would the 1 to choose for our new home. Shannon Tingle is 1 of the Best realtor's we've met in a very long time and we are going to have her help us with buying a home in 2 years. But for right now our rental she helped us through the process and even with 1 small hiccup Shannon Tingle was on top of everything.
I love Vista! Working with Ashley is always a good experience.
Vista Property Management is a great company!! We do a lot of work for them here at Drain Pro Inc. for all there septic & drain cleaning needs. Catherine is a pleasure to work with when placing orders and getting us the information we need for any tenants and locations of work. Robert & Allie at Drain Pro Inc. really enjoy working with them and look forward to working with them a lot more in the future!
I've rented from Vista for over two years and never had a problem. Staff is friendly and willing to work with me despite my credit. Maintenance techs are friendly too, never had a problem. I think most peoples gripes could be solved if they would actually read their lease.
We rented from Vista for just over 2 years and at last we are happy homeowners. The office staff always treated us professionaly and we sure enjoyed Ryan the maintenance guy. He could fix anything! I would refer them to any of my friends looking for a rental, nice places and nice people.
Shannon Tingle is an amazing property manager! We lived in a home managed by her for 2 years, and had a wonderful experience. She's very on the ball, quick responsive and super friendly. We would highly recommend her and the Vista team.
I have a few properties and use Vista Property Mgmt. Co to make my life easier. I have not had any major issues over the last couple of years.
I have been renting with Vista for a few months and they have been great. Danielle did a great job showing the home and setting up our rental agreement. She helped make the whole process run smoothly. After a few months the water heater started leaking so I submitted a maintenance request online. Ryan the maintenance guy came right out and assessed the situatuon. He quickly installed a new unit. I really appreciate the way Ashley and her maintance team resolved the issue, fast and professional. I have rented for a long time and I am impressed with Vista PM. I will gladly recommend then to my friends and family.
I called today to get some information on some 3bd duplexes & was very pleased with the conversation I had with Joan. She was very informative and took her time to answer all my questions. She gave me a couple properties to look at on my own and told me to give her a call back if I had any more questions. After looking at the properties she gave me, I was very pleased & so I wanted to call back and get a little more information before deciding to put in an application. Unfortunately when I called back, Joan didn't answer. Instead it was a lady named Shannon, who was a little rude & didn't answer my questions or even show any interest in answering my questions. At the end of the call she said "Sorry I couldn't be of more help in answering your questions..." SERIOUSLY?! Horrible! I ended up calling back later & got Joan again and we had another pleasant conversation. She was so helpful in answering all my questions because I had so many, but she was patient and was able to give me all the information I needed to get started on the application process. Thank you Joan!! As for Shannon, I would avoid any conversation with her.
Genuine welcoming!
Ms. Lori was fun to converse with and very professional about the ground rules for my new home, Ms. Lori made myself and my housemate feel safe and welcomed to her area. I would like to say she is appreciated dearly.
Love Vista
Great people ! Great on site manager ! We love are place ,Maintenance guys are always friendly and very on spot and professional! Highly recommend renting from Vista ! Thank you all !
Thank you Lori the Manager!
Thank you Lori for the everything. I love the house. And I thank you for the help!

Thanks for the hous
Have truly enjoyed working with Kelly
I'm an owner in a condo complex that Vista has been managing. Kelly Burningham is my owner contact and I have truly enjoyed working with him. He is helpful when there are any types of problems, whether an issue with the condo or with a personality. Kelly gives great advice and is sympathetic and supportive toward successful, timely resolution of any types of problems. I recommend both Vista and Kelly for their superior service to all of us at my condo complex.
The highest quality service.
I have lived in a community that is serviced by Vista Property and Kelly Burningham is our contact there. Kelly is always " Johnny on the spot" and is so professional and funny. Talking to Kelly always puts a smile on my face and he gives me great service. I would recommend this company to everyone.
High quality service
I had the pleasure of work with Kelly Burningham and wanted to commend his professional attitude and commitment to customer service. He took an expensive problem that I had and resolved it after carefully listening to my situation. Great job and thank you again,
People are so funny !!!
I just want to say You can sure tell the good tenant from the bad !!! The bad ones always write bad reviews because they left there place in bad condition or brought in roommates or animals! Then when they get caught, Every one is either a scam artist or none professional But maybe if you followed your lease ! Lived like a normal person You would not be on here trying to make everyone one else look bad After you moved out or got evicted! I have never had a problem! Late charge or any other charges !! Lived on vistas property for 8 years !
Kathy Chow and Vista are Excellent
Vista has been managing a Condo for us for 5 years and they have been excellent in taking care of the property as appropriate, relations with the HOA, finding great tenants and managing the income and disbursements with integrity and timeliness. Kathy Chow is the Vista representative and she is very knowledgeable, accurate in her input to us about the condo, quick in responding to inquiries and very much aware of how the tenants are caring for the unit. Her six month inspection reports with great photos are very useful and reassuring. We feel very grateful to Vista for assigning Kathy to our account.
Caring people doing good work
I am pleased to recommend Vista Property Management (VPM). They work to honestly and fairly represent both the tenants and the owners so that all people are treated well. VPM responds to problems or questions in a timely manner always seeking to make things right. Their staff is professional and kind, and I have been treated well by all of them.

They provided rapid and top quality attention to homeowner problems
Was so surprised and pleased by Vista's rapid response to correct ventilation issues in a condo I was selling. I was also surprised and pleased at Vista's prompt response to emails. Special thanks to Kelly Burningham, Community Association Manager.
Looking for a rental
We were very desperate to find a home to rent. Shannon was able to find us a home In a very short time. We met her at the house to do a walk-through. Once we decided this was the home that we wanted she, prepared all the paperwork, and we were in our home within a very short time. Shannon has always been very polite and has always responded very quickly to any request that I have. We are pleased that she is managing this rental home.
QueenZipporah Murray Amazing Service!!!!
Exceptional customer service. She answered all of my questions promptly and was very knowledgeable.
Patty at river Glen apartments
Patty was so nice and helpful and cheerful when we met with her. We were so disappointed that cats are not allowed. It would have been nice to get see her again.
Catherine Barnes is GREAT!!! She was quick to respond to emails, very patient when I needed to drop the money off, and I always knew where I was at in the process of renting a house!! HIGHLY recommend!
Quality management customized for the individual owner
As a property owner not a corporation I must keep cost down so Vista Property Manag. is very helpful in that they will notify me of any situation that needs attention prior to acting on the situation so that I may act on the situation I had a tenant that was getting ready to leave and I believe he was going to try to use his deposit to pay the last months rent and this company actually got them to pay the rent I was very impressed
Highly efficient property management
As a home owner, I feel very confident with Vista managing my house. They are always very quick to handle a situation and always keep my up to date or in the loop with my property. I would recommend Vista to others in a snap!
Absolutely amazing property company!
I can't say enough good things about this property company and especially about Ashley Johnson!! She was so professional and worked so hard to get us the perfect property. Ashley went above and beyond to respond to my every question quickly and was the greatest person to have help us in our search. We are so blessed to have found this company and to be renting from them!
This is the first time we have rented out a property as an owner and the experience has been stress free. Our house was rented in one day! Ashley took care of everything from screening the renters to contacting the power company. I highly recommend Ashley and Vista if you need a property management company!
I live out of state and recently had to find and switch to a new property manager for my home in Puyallup, Wa. I submitted an online inquiry through Vista Property Management's website and was contacted promptly by one of their property managers, Ashley Johnson. From the very beginning, Ashley has been amazing to work with. She is very thorough, follows up with her inquiries for needed information, and follows through with what she says she is going to do. She turned a very stressful situation into a walk in the park. If you are a homeowner reading this, I highly recommend Vista and Ashley for your property management needs. Thank you Ashely for all the you have done, you are a blessing!
Professional and stress free
Our property manager is Shannon Tingle. She has been very professional and timely with all correspondence. Our rental experience with her has been as hassle free as one could ask. As far as we know the tenant is happy and so are we. Thanks Shannon!
As a renter, they weren't bad.
My experience with property management companies hasn't been great. But I needed an apartment for a year when I first moved up here and looked for a house. I think the townhouse I rented through Vista Property was somewhat overpriced and not in the best shape (every interior door was cosmetically damaged), plus I have never had to pay for EVERY utility in an apartment before. This is the first rental in 30+ years of renting where I had to pay sewer and water, along with the usual electric, gas, etc. All that being said, I never had a problem with any of the staff. The maintenance staff was very responsive and always responded to my work requests. When I had some issues with work being done (there was a major leak inside a wall) they did their best to minimize the impact on my family. The Admin staff was not quite as responsive as the maintenance staff but still acceptable. It was kind of a pain that they don't have anyone living on site at some of the larger complexes, especially to be able to deal with problem tenants on the spot. Short story long, I bought a house and moved out after 16 months. Got back almost my full deposit, minus the water bill and a few bucks for painting. I was unhappy that I couldn't schedule a walk thru when I moved out (prior bad experiences make this a must for me) and was anticipating an issue with Vista but it was fine. I'm sure they are great for property owners, I just wanted to add my 2 cents as how they are from a renter's perspective.
Highly Impressed!!!
With all of the stress of relocating, Catherine took care of all the details so that the transition of moving and renting out my home went smoothly. She is a honest, reliable, and dedicated professional who does her job well! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate Catherine and all of her hard word. Thank you for all that you do!
Very helpful
This is my first time ever renting my house and had so many questions but with the help of Ashley all my questions got answered. She takes time to explain anything we have concerns with and I am very happy with the help Ashley always gives us.As well best thing was she got our house rented out very quickly.
Great company!
Ashley helped us move in, she answered all of our questions and help us with pretty much everything. Maintence is awesome they get everything done in a short amount of time. I really appreciate that. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone we love it. Thanks ashley for all the help!
Peace of Mind
I recently had Vista Property Management rent out my home in Bonney Lake. I was relocated to Oregon, and I did not want to sell my home. It has been such a relief to have them handle all of the necessary fixes to the home that were needed before renting it. They provide a detailed report on the fees and income from the property. They do a thorough background check on potential tenants which gives me peace of mind. My home rented within the first 2 weeks of it being listed. Very happy with the whole experience.
Amazing Customer Service
Love Lauri in accounting! She has answered me no matter what time of day- or what day - I email her. The tenants we put in our property left the place a horrible mess and we were so concerned about the costs of getting the place ready for a new tenant. Lauri kept us up to date and always provided us with information and options so we could make informed financial decisions. She completely understands what owners are looking for and how to work with, treat and communicate with them. She truly made the best of a situation that was less than desirable. Thanks, Lauri!
Goes above and
In a few short words this company goes above and beyond for there owners. I recently signed on with Shannon Tingle, not only did she help me with moving out my tenant in a short period of time but she also got my condo back into tip top shape so it could be rented again which it did very quickly. She was there to walk me thru the process and answered every question I had. I am so greatful for this company and my property manager Ms. Shannon Tingle, being an out of state owner can be extremely scary but she made me feel at ease and comfortable knowing my condo is in good hands. Thank you Shannon and VIsta property management
Recently signed with Vista Property. After 2 horrible renters I have found Vista to be ready to help me find good quality renters. They provide all the services I needed to make the repairs I need to ready my house for new renters. My agent is always just an email away. Very happy I found them. Just signed on new renters. Thanks Vista
After working for a rental company and also trying to rent a home our selves, renting out our home was the last thing we wanted to do. After much online research and a few phone calls, I decided on Vista Property. The first person I talked to was Ashley, I gave her my list of concerns and she addressed each one and made me feel at ease. Then 3 days later she had the house rented and over time, the residents have proved to be excellent renters.
Will use this company again!
We live in California and have rental property in Puyallup. This was the first time we used a professional management company to secure a new tenant. Ashley patiently and efficiently helped us through the entire process and the end result was a new tenant within weeks and a 10% rent increase. We will definitely used this company again!
professional service all the wsy!
I have been with Vista Property Management for over 2 years now and am very pleased with their service. I can call to request a service call and they are very prompt to respond. I am very confident that my house is in good hands with Vista. I would recommend them to everyone needing a property management company.
Awesome Company!
My husband and I had been looking for a bigger place but struggled due to credit but Shannon didn't let that stop her from helping us get a a place over a year ago. We have now have a place that isn't just our house but our home. A place to love, be happy, make wonderful memories. All because Shannon and Vista gave us a chance! We are beyond grateful and would never use another company!
amazing employees and great 1st rental home
I rented my very first place with vista property management everyone in the office was so helpful and I couldn't ask for a better manager she helped me with all my questions and took so much time to show me all the homes that would possibly work for me. Thank you so much for making my first rental home a happy place for me and my fiancé. I had a work order within a week of moving in and Ryan was there within the hour to fix the problem. I recommend vista 100%. I hope to keep renting from vista for many years to come!!!

Professional service
Vista property is really quick on getting repairs attended immediately. Maintenance was very professional and polite and kind while in the home.....
Just moving up here from Florida, I just happened to stumble into vista property and spoke with Shannon who was kind, understanding and work with us on getting into our new home. On top of that they have made it easy to make payments, fast repair service and helpful information on puyallup. This home feels like home verses an apartment. And new to Washington.. Thank you Shannon....
Joan is amazing!
Joan with Vista is amazing. She is attentive to details and a hustler. I'm a new property owner and the 2 properties that I purchased have been a challenge out of the gate. Joan has worked through several issues that have come up with a great attitude and has been very helpful in resolving them. I would recommend Joan to anyone who owns multifamily property and am so happy that I chose to work with her over the other companies that I was considering.
Great to work with!
My partner and I responded to an ad on craiglist for a property in Tacoma, and property manager Joan McConnell was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond and super friendly. She had us approved and ready to move in at our convenience. Thanks Joan!
Friendly and Professional
Shannon Tingle has been very professional and upfront. She constantly communicates information as soon as she gets it and has worked hard to get people into our condo. As soon as we gave Shannon the go head to post the condo, she had it posted that same day with pictures and already had people interested in it. Within a matter of a few weeks we have tenants ready to rent our condo out. Shannon has been great to work with and I would recommend her to anybody that I know. She has made the process simple and easy and priced the condo better than I would ever have.
Tremendous service
My son is in the process of reporting at Joint Base Lewis McChord. Joan McConnel was terrific in providing information and options that Vista Property Management offers in this area. She is a tremendous resource and provided great customer service. Ken L., Marietta, GA
Very helpful...
The group is prompt, and Joan is too kind. They are very personable, and get back to you quickly. They helped my wife and I find a home in a competitive rental market, and responded immediately to any questions. Really thankful to be renting from them.
Good experience
We've had a very positive experience working with Vista for the first time. Our property manager, Shannon Tingle was especially good with her communication with us and her follow through on several items we requested. Shannon's professionalism and her upbeat, positive personality made this move a very easy transition for us. We really enjoy working with her. We highly recommend Vista Property Management, and if you're lucky, you'll get Shannon Tingle as your property manager.
Great service, very helpful
Danette was so great to work with. She went above and beyond to get us in our dream property. We couldn't be happier!
very helpful, friendly, and professional
as a first time home owner needing to rent their home out, the staff at Vista Property Management went above and beyond to help us through the process. Our representative was extremely knowledgeable of the rental process and willing to walk us through the process of getting our home ready to rent. we were extremely pleased when our home rented within 24 hours of being posted. Communications with Vista has been extremely satisfying, they are quick to reply to any questions we have had. I would recommend Vista Property Management very highly to anyone friend or acquaintance who might be interested in having their home rented out.
Very helpful and professional
Very helpful, I needed to move fast due to a fire and they made this very stress less - thank you so much
Move in
I relocated to Puyallup from Texas. I worked with Danette , and she was wonderful ! Communicated throughout the whole process, and was very helpful with all that I needed to get done. The house was great as well , I rented it site unseen with the exception of a few photos on the internet. It was just like she had told me!!! I would highly recommend their services !!
Great experience
Joan did a great job finding us a place to live! She is very personable and made the experience quick and painless.
Property Manager/Miss Shannon Tingle
Miss Shannon she is a wonderful property manager,always respond so quickly upon request of any repair to the property we live in. And she even such a nice and friendly person when we met her twice since we move in So happy to say that my wife and I are please to has her as our manager. Sincerely Widhaya and Phanpaporn Nirunsuksiri
Repair Order
I received an email from Shannon stating that there was an issue with our rental asking if I wanted to take a look myself or have one of their technician assess the situation. Since it may have been a potential water leak, I thought it best to have their expert take a peek. The next day, Shannon informed us that the caulking around a shower door had gone bad and the technician was moving forward in re-caulking. A two thumbs up for Shannon and the tech for quick response and action!
I couldn't ask for a better experience!
We have recently transitioned from another company to Vista. Vista's customer service is head and shoulders above what we had experienced before. I feel like I am their only client. The turn around for correspondence is lightning fast. They have an attitude where they will do whatever it takes to make the experience great - while also keeping sight of realistic expectations. We look forward to many years of a great partnership as they manage our property.
Awesome Peeps
I Love the Maintains Team no matter what kind of problem there is they are always here to help fix's it like today 1/15/2015 my two favorite guys are standing out side in the rain fixing the septic tank Ryan is also Awesome person & Then there is Shannon & Dinetta my two Favorite Lady's in the Office when I can't be home because of my job they take good care of My daughter by making sure that she stays safe and works with her on the getting rent paid This is the best rental place we have lived they don't b*tch about fixing thing around the grounds I would recommend vista to anybody looking for a place to live because they Friendly & Safe ,Clean Places to live Your Friendly Rent's Debra & DawnMarie ( Dolly)
Vista Property Management
After going thru a very difficult time the past 6 months with our old property manager and tenants, we found Vista Property Management. Vista Property Management not only got everything back in order, but the urgency and quality that they provide is simply outstanding. We personally dealt with Danette and she was amazing, she completed every task quickly and efficiently. My wife and I have the peace of mind that our property is in great hands, thanks to Danette and the Vista Property Management team. Thanks!!!!!
Awesome service!
My experience with Vista has been great so far. My agent, Shannon, has always gone out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. Her punctuality and quick responses to my questions are very helpful.
First time user
Vista was recommended to my by a friend not too long ago. We interviewed one other management company after a Dena stopped by but we pretty much had our mind made up. What sold us to go with Vista was the confidence Dena had in being able to rent our condo out at a rent that we were looking for. Vista took care of the background checks, had appointments lined up even before we were moved out. From the time Dena had our rental posted to having people interested was remarkable. We haven't had any issues with our tenant and the payments have been always on time. This company has been very solid for us that I have already recommended a friend to use Vista himself. He now also has signed on with Vista. Keep up the great work!!!
Vista Property Management and Danette
When my husband and I decided to rent our house while moving overseas for a few years, I contacted several property management companies to compare services. When talking to Danette at Vista, she was very thorough, and professional. She made an appointment with us an showed up with a a complete package of well put together material answering all of our questions. She was very professional, yet very comfortable to talk to and do business with. Our house was for rent for a little over two weeks and I owe it all to her and her hard work and aggressive advertising. I continue to talk to her while living overseas, about house and just touching base on life in another country. I highly recommend Vista Property Management and Danette to rent your home. You will be in excellent hands.
Very Impressive
As a first time home owner near Bradley Lake Park and not ready to sell I began searching around for local property managers in Puyallup. Being nervous about renting my property out I knew I wanted to find a trustworthy company that would represent my best interest. When I came across Vista Property Management I read through the testimonials and Ms. Shannon just seemed to be the right agent for the job. I emailed Vista Property Management requesting to speak with Shannon. Within thirty minutes Shannon called and confirmed a good time to meet. I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and how well she presented not just herself but Vista Property Management. As I listened to Shannon present to me how they manage properties I knew right away Vista Property Management and Shannon were the only choice. If that wasn't impressive already, Shannon worked hard on listing my property and within five days it rented and Shannon found the perfect tenant. I highly encourage anyone that is looking for a property manager or even to rent a property to give Vista Property Management a call. You won't be disappointed.
Simple, Quick, and Easy!
As my transition from the Army back to civilian life approached, I knew I wanted to move back East but didn't want to sell my home in Washington. I contacted Vista because they are part of a program that Soldiers can use on post which I liked. After going through the entire process with Danette, I am absolutely pleased with them. From from listing my home for rent to the tenant settling in, the process was simple, quick, and easy. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs to rent out their home!!!
Property Management
I searched for a respectable property management company, and stumbled upon Vista property management. The staff provided me with excellent service. Danette(Vista Staff member), literally went out of her way to ensure my unit was taken care of. She ensured a detailed walk thru was complete before any transaction. She even went as far as to go out of her way and have two additional keys made for my unit. In all, I plan on using this management company for a long time. I definetly recommend for owners.
Amazing Property Management Company
"I engaged VISTA Property Management and Ms. Shannon Tingle to manage our condominium in Lakeland, Auburn, Washington in July. Shannon responded quickly to my request for meeting with her, and I was very impressed with the excellent information she provided about her company and how both she and her staff would manage our property. She carefully reviewed the process and services VISTA would provide, along with the costs and timeline. Within days after agreeing to contract VISTA Shannon had the property posting online and interested parties were beginning to call. Soon after that the property was rented and all details were worked out in a careful and timely way and our new tenants are now in their new home. The hard copy information and website VISTA uses are very clear, informative and detailed, and make it very easy to understand their services, both for the owner and potential tenants. Shannon was diligent, thoughtful and professional in setting up the account with VISTA and in obtaining perfect tenants for our home in Lakeland. They are happy and so are we. I strongly recommend VISTA's services to anyone looking for property management services, and commend Ms. Shannon Tingle for being the perfect provider for VISTA!" Larry
The best!
After searching high and low for an affordable and responsible property manager for my house, I found Vista. Very professional, great prices and you cannot beat the communication. I moved across the country at very short notice and within a week my house was ready for rent. Shannon was more than helpful with the proper recommendations to make sure my home was move in ready and at a great price. It is very well advertised right now and should be rented out in now time. You will be hard pressed to find a better company out there that is willing to work with people from such far distances and keep you up to date on the status of your rental. As a military member, I recommend Vista to any and all Service members for their property Management needs.
Great Property Managers
I listed my townhouse with Vista Property and have been working with Shannon Tingle. Shannon has been wonderful to work with. It is so great to have professionals to management this property for us. They also have great contacts for work that needs to be done. I am very happy that I have Vista and Shannon Tingle to take care of this property for us.

Editor's Picks #1 - Beatles In The Media
Here at Editor's Picks, our favourite April news item is this Macmillan Dictionary blog piece about The Beatles and their impact on the English language. It coincided with the opening lecture given at the annual IATEFL Conference by David Crystal: 'The World In Which We Live In: Beatles, Blends And Blogs' …
We were sad to learn of the passing of Jack Stokes - Yellow Submarine's Animation Director. You can sneak a peek at Jack 30 seconds into this behind-the-scenes film and read his Guardian obituary here.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Please Please Me, the 'Sgt. Pepper's Book Club' posted its list of "10 of The Beatles' Favourite Books" ( - any guesses which Beatle loved Chaucer?).
Continuing in the vein of top 10 lists, many of you will have also heard about the Sgt. Pepper album that sold for a record sum of $290,500 this month. Perhaps you might not be as familiar with some of these other Beatles items that found their way to market…
Good Ol' Freda - "a crowd-pleasing documentary about Freda Kelly, The Beatles' lifelong secretary" has been gathering rave reviews and screening at prestigious film festivals like SXSW (Houston) and Hot Docs (Toronto) since March. The film has been released with the support of the band and features original Beatles music. You can find out where it's screening and more in-depth info, here.
And finally - Russian fans - we're curious to hear any memories you have in relation to this story:
Leslie Woodhead has released a book about how, "The Beatles thawed the Cold War more efficiently than missiles or diplomacy". He makes a case that The Beatles helped bring down the Iron Curtain and inspired Soviet youth to challenge Communism. Jon Snow (of Channel 4 News, here in the UK) recently tweeted:
Jon Snow @jonsnowC4
Great book by leslie Woodhead on how the Beatles unknowingly kindled revolution in Soviet Russia + never seen before photos: @BeatlesKremlin
BBC Radio 4 also did a news piece on the book.
From a review in The National: "It's a bold claim, and one which draws the reader into a book that will probably appeal to political historians as much as it does fans of Help!".
Russian Beatles fans: we're curious to hear anecdotes from you directly.
- Were you there?
- What do you think?
- Any memories to do with The Beatles from that era you can tell us about?
Leave us your stories in the comments - we would love to read them.

What, if any, memorable or special book have you ever gotten as a present? Birthday or otherwise. What made it so notable? The person who gave it? The book itself? The "gift aura?"
Don't forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don't have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
Two books from my childhood come to mind.
One Christmas, I received my very first 'real' book, Little Women. I can still remember it. I spent the holiday reading it cover to cover. It was just the first section (the happy part) when they were all still children. Little Women will always be connected with Christmas in my mind; Beth playing carols on the piano, Mr March arriving on Christmas Eve and of course the very first line:
"Christmas just isn't Christmas without any presents."
When I was little, my grandmother on my father's side lived all the way over in British Columbia. Every couple of years she'd come for a visit and stay a few weeks in the summer. She'd always bring us something. One year it was a book: Heidi. It was a little harder book than I was used to but I enjoyed reading about Heidi, her grandfather and the goats. Of course, that my grandmother gave it to me is why it is such a special gift.
The fact that I still have these books as an adult and that they've survived several moves, shows how much these gifts mean to me. I'm quite sentimental.

It's 4 a.m. Wednesday morning, the day before Thanksgiving, and I'm thinking to myself I am perhaps one of only four people in all of Newton who is awake.
There's the guy who delivers the Des Moines Register, making his rounds. There's the guy walking down First Avenue, looking like he just stopped by Kum & Go. Then, there's that bright, smiling guy working behind the counter at the aforementioned convenience store.
Of course, I'm not seriously thinking we're the only people up and about right now. But, this being the second year in a row I'm up this early to ensure we make our press deadline for the annual pre-Thanksgiving "TMC" newspaper, it's becoming clearer to me that God made this time of the day dark for a reason.
We should be sleeping.
• • •
It's 6 a.m. now and I'm reading some of the media reports from yesterday's Newton City Council meeting, as well as the comments that go with them. Some make me laugh out loud. Others make me just shake my head in dismay.
Having been through enough business acquisition stories over the years, the "secrecy" surrounding the sale of Iowa Speedway really isn't all that unusual. Neither is the "blind" transfer of the development agreement and lease at yesterday's meeting.
As we pointed out in our report — and the Des Moines media should have pointed out in theirs — the speedway didn't need the city's approval to reassign either. The track and outlying facilities were already in place, which meant the speedway ownership could transfer those assignments at-will to future ownership.
The new ownership, if it should ever decide to sell in the future, will have that same right.
Rusty Wallace made an excellent point, one that I wish more folks around here would take to heart. He noted all the money the Clement family has sunk into the speedway since they took over ownership — without putting a real dollar value on it, I would guess it's in the millions, though — and said:
"They've been spending, spending, spending, keep it going, keep it going, keep it going, but they're about spent out. We've had to really cut costs. If anybody on the planet knew how much the Clement family has given this track, they would be on their knees saying, 'Thank you.' "
I'm not on my knees, but I do want to thank the Clement family for doing something tremendously good for their hometown. They didn't have to, and the fact that they did speaks volumes for the people they are.

It's 7 a.m. now, and I see from Jason Parkin that Newton Mayor Mike Hansen is about to come on KCWI's "Great Day" show to talk about Iowa Speedway. I doubt they're going to get much more than what the rest of the Des Moines TV stations have gotten so far.
I'm finding it interesting that every TV station in Central Iowa has jumped into the midst of the feeding frenzy surrounding Iowa Speedway. Yes, I know it's November Sweeps, but I can't help but be troubled by the all-out push to "be the first" to report the news.
Granted, it's the job of the local media to get the news in the hands of their audiences in the most timely and accurate manner possible. But, we also have a responsibility to those we serve to not harm our community in the process.
I have seen economic development deals fall apart at the 11th hour because of media types with myopic worldviews who "broke the news" too quickly. In the end, the news really did get broken — irreparably.
I certainly wouldn't want to be the guy who cost my community and my state tens of millions of dollars in immediate and future economic development.
Based on what I know, and even more on "educated speculation," I think the announcement of the new ownership — when it happens — will be a big deal for Newton. But I also know bigger news will be on the horizon, and that's not speculation.

It's 8 a.m., and most folks are just arriving for work. I'm already halfway through a "work day." I plan to go home for a little bit to get some rest and freshen up a little more before we sit down for our weekly editorial staff meeting.
I'm bleary-eyed, having only had four hours sleep last night, but sleeping isn't an option today. News from the speedway may break at any moment, and I need to be ready to go on a moment's notice if it does.
But, in all honesty, this is why I love this job so much. Journalists get an adrenaline rush from days like today. That's enough to keep me going, no sleep and all.
• • •
It's 11 a.m., and I'm about to go into our weekly editorial staff meeting. I took about 90 minutes off to rest at home a little, and it definitely gave me a little extra "go" for the rest of the day.
I can't tell you how proud I am of these folks who work with me at the Daily News. A typical issue of the Daily News is 12 to 16 "broadsheet" pages. Over the past 24 hours, however, we put out five newspapers with 84 equivalent broadsheet pages.
We have one more newspaper to get started on this afternoon. So, I'll back at it very soon.
• • •
It's 2 p.m. I can honestly say I did not see this development coming. This is almost unprecedented in all of motorsports, and creates opportunities for Iowa Speedway no other racetrack in the world will be able to boast.
This isn't huge for Newton, and Iowa. It's bigger than that. I've rifled through my thesaurus to find the appropriate word, and it's just not there.
We've known something was afoot at Iowa Speedway for a couple months, but we didn't know what it was until the sale was announced. We still don't know for sure. But, with a little more educated speculation, it doesn't take any imagination to know the Dec. 12 announcement will be the biggest news in Newton in a long, long time.
• • •
It's 6 p.m., and I'm headed home for a much-needed break. Friday's newspaper is off to a great start, to where "a monkey and a pair of trainees" could get it out the door, so I'll be in good shape when I return.
I'm thankful for many things: a God who loves me, a wife and children who love me, a good job, a great community, awesome friends and the knowledge that good times are ahead.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving with my wife and children. I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday with those you love, as well.

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — Macedonia's health minister is looking for assistants — but they have to be certified geniuses.
Nikola Todorov's ministry announced Thursday that it needs seven to 10 advisers, to consult once or twice a month for a daily fee of 3,000 to 5,000 denars (€50-80, $64-100).
The announcement said successful candidates must possess an IQ score of at least 140, certified by the Mensa International IQ society. They also must have a university degree and speak at least two foreign languages.
Macedonian public servants are not normally required to take IQ tests, but Todorov can be demanding. He recently angered state doctors by linking their salaries with the number of patients they treat.
The average intelligence quotient is 90 to 110. Above 140, people are considered geniuses..

Making Money with your Blog's Archives
Posted in: enternetusers Site News
Nice post by Tristan over at TNL.net titled Money in the archives which talks about one of the lovely things about Pro blogging - ie its ability to continue to generate income off posts that are quite old (the archives). This is what many refer to as the principle of the Long Tail. The article compares blogging in this regard to offline media where a writer is paid a one off fee (say $1 per word) for their article. In comparison a blog post lives on and has the potential to continue to generate income:
'Once the entry has advertising on it, any revenue generated from that advertising goes to the blog writer. Initially, it's not comparable to the thousand dollars the writer got from a mainstream publication but, if the entry has legs (ie, it keeps serving an audience), it continues to generate money, pretty much until one of a few possible things happen:
* The writer decides to remove ads from his/her site
* The writer decides to remove the entry from the site
* The story has run its course and is no longer useful or superceded by a better one
If one writes with such a long run view, a story can generate several times what the initial payback was from a publication.'
I've found this principle to be true myself. I now have 11,000+ posts working for me in my archives.
However it's also worth making a few other points:
- this principle relies pretty heavily on your ability for your posts to rank well in search engines. The problem for most bloggers is that even though they might brilliant articles that they will have difficulty in finding readers for those articles because their blogs struggle to have enough ranking in Google and Yahoo.
- most posts income ability to generate income will diminish over time. This will be due not only to the fact that many are time specific and will date but also because the way search engines rank posts these days is to give priority to fresh content. Over time other competing pages on your competitors (and even your own) post will often rise up and take over your position in SE's.
I'm not wanting to discredit the TNL article - but it's worth stating that while the theory is good - that its not always that easy. In my experience - theories of the Longtail work really well for some bloggers who have either profile or SE ranking - such strategies tend to diminish in effectiveness for less highly ranked blogs.
One last tip - you can increase the effectiveness of your archives to make money by being a little smart about highlighting your most effective older posts. I've been thinking about this over the past few days quite a bit.
I don't have time to unpack it right now - but have a read of this post at Webmaster World on Filtering your Traffic for Fun and Profit and you'll see a little of what I've been pondering. It's about creating (and/or identifying) pages with a higher earning capacity and then funneling your readers in that direction.

- Karl Lagerfeld gave the Pirelli calendar — which traditionally features "artistic" nude shots of top models — the theme of ancient Greek and Roman mythology. And he added one (clothed) Julianne Moore and, a Pirelli first, several (unclothed) men. [Telegraph]
- Lagerfeld has revealed why he chose the theme: "It's my favourite religion: a god for everything," said the designer. "I am a polytheist. I prefer mythology without hell, without sin - an obstacle to happiness, without forgiveness. I love goddesses because they were the first liberated women, who were entitled to everything. The goddesses and the muses are feminists!" Oh, so now he likes feminists? [Vogue UK]
- Lagerfeld also shot Salma Hayek for the cover of V Spain, and what a cover it is. Hayek wears Alexander McQueen, a brand her husband owns. [DS]
- Forthcoming ladymag cover scuttlebutt: Natalie Portman will have January Vogue, and February InStyle. February W will be about "the best performances of the year," and we should "expect to see actors such as Nicole Kidman, Annette Benning, Julianne Moore, Justin Timberlake, Robert Duvall, Jesse Eisenberg and Jennifer Lawrence" on it, according to Women's Wear Daily. (Lawrence has already had a group cover of W, last September.) And as for Vanity Fair's Young Hollywood issue, it's being shot next week and "among those said to be in the running to be included are Natalie Portman, Ryan Reynolds and James Franco. Potential candidates for the inside cover are said to include Lawrence, Rashida Jones, Paula Patton, Andrew Garfield and Noomi Rapace, who played the lead in the original version of The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo. The theme is said to be along the lines of Thirties Shanghai. The list is being altered daily, so the lineup could change, noted one source." Meanwhile, Rooney Mara will be on the cover of this February's W, not Vanity Fair, because the studio behind the American re-make of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo insisted that the magazine use the photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino, and Vanity Fair wanted the right to use someone like Annie Leibovitz. [WWD]
- The Federal Trade Commission likes the idea of creating a "Do Not Track" program, similar to the "Do Not Call" registry, to allow shoppers to opt out of online retailers' various potentially nefarious and/or annoying tracking and targeting systems. [WWD]
- Christian Louboutin was named "Person of the Year" by trade publication Footwear News, so he celebrated with Blake Lively, the actress who reportedly bought
4030 pairs of his shoes at Louboutin's recent sample sale. [P6]
- Rodarte's Laura and Kate Mulleavy designed 40 different costumes for the movie Black Swan. Reports Women's Wear Daily: "Prince Siegfried wears a distressed velvet outfit overlaid with an embroidered floral cheesecloth — 'so it looks like a spider web that's taken over him,' Laura remarks — while Odette dons a flat pancake tutu covered in broken white angora wool, which, the designer adds, gives the appearance of 'tree branches growing on it.'" [WWD]
- "When I met Cheryl [Cole] at the X Factor live show she said to me, 'How do you cope?'" says Kate Moss. "She said 'How do you cope when you're under pressure?' And I'm like, 'Have a drink!'" We are feeling something strange and unfamiliar. We think we love Kate Moss. Also, she had this to day about her first boyfriend: "I was 14, he was my first love, and it lasted two years...We went to a club and he wasn't supposed to be there and I was with this other guy. There was a big fight and he got thrown out by the bouncers because he went mental at me. Then he got mugged on the way home. I don't speak to him now, but my mum still sees his mum." [Vogue UK]
- Meanwhile, Moss's daughter Lila Grace won't take her fashion advice. [Seattle PI]
- Designer Haider Ackermann has made a "creative decision" to discontinue his men's wear line, which was only one season old. [WWD]
- New York Times' Critical Shopper Cintra Wilson went to a boutique that stocks Indian designers' clothes, and everything reminded her of lentils. [NYTimes]
- Barneys' new C.E.O. Mark Lee has been shaking things up in management — and Cathy Horyn spoke to numerous people who are worried that without women's fashion director Julie Gilhart and general merchandising manager Judy Collinson, who are known for seeking out and supporting younger talents, the store won't be cool anymore. [On The Runway]
- Lee is said to be trying to poach Vogue editor Virginia Smith, whom he wants for a fashion director. This idea is already popular with designers. [WWD]
- Some uncharacteristic honesty from a celebrity, regarding a celebrity fashion venture: "I wasn't very keen on having a range," says world's most famous drug addict Pete Doherty, of his jewelry line. "It was a managerial thing. They said, 'Come on. You could make a few quid out of this.'" [Wonderwall]
- Salvatore Ferragamo is offering consumers the ability to customize their shoes by choosing among 23 colorways of satin and the option of a monogram. Which is about the level of customization that a bank offers when you want to re-order cheques. [WWD]
- According to The Imagist's Wayne Sterling, Daria Werbowy could just as easily have been a Victoria's Secret Angel as the face of Lancôme. (The supermodel has a long-running Lancôme contract, but has never worked for Victoria's Secret.) "Lancome or Victoria's Secret. It was down to the wire till the last moment. Two power clients bidding at the same time for the exclusive services of the last great editorial star of our generation. And then the negotiations swung the way of Lancome and the rest is contract history." [TI]
- You can ponder the road not taken while watching the new Victoria's Secret holiday commercial, shot, as last year, by Michael Bay. [Fashionologie]
- "Bondage-style underwear is emerging as this Christmas's dominant trend when it comes to lingerie." [Telegraph]
- The French media company that owns Elle magazine, among other U.S. properties, is interested in cutting costs. This means Hearst might get its hands on Elle. [WWD]
- Two shoplifters in Oklahoma had the bright idea of trying to rob a T.J. Maxx by hiding $2,600 worth of clothing and accessories around their bodies and in between their fat rolls. The women were arrested. [NYPost]
- "I think of drying my hair as really boring. I thought, 'OK, I'm going to multi task'. I'll dry my hair as though I'm sitting on a chair, even though there's no chair there. Then I'll do some squats. When I am brushing my teeth, I'm bending my leg behind me, or I'm lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I'm squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I'm washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit." Being Christie Brinkley sounds maddening. [Vogue UK]

The City of Portland is excited to announce that several donations have recently been received to support the continuation of the Portland Opportunity Crew, the City's panhandling-to-work program. The Portland Community Chamber of Commerce has brought together 13 businesses and organizations to fund 10 additional weeks of the program for the remainder of the summer.
The businesses include: Allspeed Cyclery & Snow, Bayside Bowl, David Wood Clothiers, Gritty's McDuffs, Intermed, Old Port Wine Merchants, Press Hotel, Renys, Union Bagel, Verizon Wireless, Verrill Dana, Vitalius Real Estate, and Portland Downtown.
"We're so thankful the Chamber recognized the impact this program has on our community and enthusiastically stepped up to mobilize its members and provide this crucial funding source," said Jon Jennings, City Manager. "The reality is we must rely on public-private partnerships to sustain this program, and so we're very grateful to the businesses, organizations, and people who have recently contributed financially."
"Last year, we were thrilled to hear about the pilot program launched by the city and its success," said Quincy Hentzel, CEO of the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce. "The business community sees great value and the many benefits of helping people find pathways to employment and economic security while at the same time, filling the workforce needs of many of our members and the business community at-large. It's a program we are very proud to support and stand behind."
"Supporting the Portland Opportunity Crew is a positive and productive way to help out folks that are looking for opportunities," said Paul Farrell, co-owner and CEO of Union Bagel Company. "I am very excited to be a part of this initiative."
In addition to the 13 businesses that contributed, the City recently received a $5,000 donation from the Maine Community Foundation via one of its members and a $500 donation from a local family.
The Crew can be supported financially in two different ways. People can donate any amount of money they wish by texting the word CREW to 91999 or online by visiting www.portlandmaine.gov/crew. Alternatively, businesses or organizations can contribute $1,300 to sponsor the program for one week, which covers all associated costs. Weekly sponsorships include advertising at the clean-up sites and publicity on the City's website and social media channels. All donations are tax deductible.
About the Portland Opportunity Crew
The Portland Opportunity Crew is the City's panhandling-to-work program that offers panhandlers the opportunity to earn money to cleanup public areas while linking them with needed services, such as job training and support services, to create a pathway to future success. Workers pick up trash and beautify the city's parks and trails. Program participants are provided with breakfast and lunch and paid Portland's minimum wage, $10.68 an hour ($10.90 per hour as of July 1, 2018) at the end of the shift.
The City's Social Services Division works with the City's Parks Division to run the program. It operates two to three days a week from approximately April/May through November, and on each day up to six people will be hired. The City has partnered with Workforce Solutions and Complete Labor to link participants with additional services such as job training and employment support.

In a larger script to post-process some simulation data I had the following line:
parallel bnzip2 -- *.bz2
Which, if I understand
parallel correctly (and I may not), should run n-core threads of the program over all files with the listed extension. You may notice that I misspelled the command
bunzip2. I would expect a warning or error message here, but it fails silently. Is this intended? How do I not get bit by this in the future?
