About Us
The initial foundation of Vision was formed in 1975. After returning from exploring the west coast in a US Post Office surplus van, John and Judy Hinman moved into a small apartment in Carrollton, Georgia. In exchange for free rent, they agreed to work part-time as the landlord for the twenty-two unit apartment complex. Shortly thereafter, they purchased their first rental house which Vision Realty still manages today. Through creative financing techniques, principled investment and management, they steadily built a successful single-family house rental investment portfolio. In 2010, Adam Hinman joined Vision. John and Adam leveraged Vision’s experience to invest in several hundred single-family houses. In 2016, Adam decided to offer the Vision property management processes and real estate experience to other investors and turned Vision into a full-service real estate brokerage. Today, Vision manages over 650 properties in the West Georgia and metro-Atlanta region, providing owners with sound performance on their investments while reducing the stresses of property ownership. John’s focus on doing business with integrity, vision, and enthusiasm still remains core to the daily operations of the organization.
