About Vesta Consulting Group | Atlanta Real Estate Experts

About Us

Our Story


Vesta represents the Roman goddess of home and hearth — the protector of what matters most. We started Vesta Consulting Group in 2020 to do this work differently, with strategy, clarity, and a little more soul.

Vesta Consulting Group is a boutique real estate team built by two women who believe selling or buying a home should feel intentional, not transactional. We work exclusively in Intown Atlanta, serving the neighborhoods we actually live in, and we limit our client load so every person gets our full attention.

Our Philosophy

How We Work

Education Over Sales

We teach you the market so you can make informed decisions — not pressured ones. Every client gets the full picture before making a move.

Advocacy First

We represent your interests, period. Our job is to protect your position, negotiate your best outcome, and tell you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear.

Relationships for Life

Real estate is personal. We stay connected long after closing day — and our 95% repeat and referral rate proves it.

Co-founder & Team Lead

Valerie Gonzalez


Valerie Gonzalez stands as one of Atlanta's most accomplished and trusted real estate professionals, combining 27 years of market expertise with an unparalleled track record of success. As the #1 agent at Keller Williams Intown Atlanta for both 2023 and 2024 — by volume, GCI, and units sold — Valerie has established herself as the go-to expert for luxury homes, first-time buyers, and discerning clients throughout Intown Atlanta.

A Georgia State University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and History, her academic focus on architecture and early 20th-century homes provides unique insights that benefit clients interested in Atlanta's historic and architectural properties. Originally from Miami, Valerie has called Atlanta home for over 25 years.

Clients consistently turn to Valerie as a valued advisor rather than simply a transaction facilitator — her thorough, non-biased approach has led her to advise buyers against unsuitable properties and counsel sellers to wait for optimal market conditions.

Ariella Faitelson


Ariella Faitelson co-founded Vesta Consulting Group alongside her wife, Valerie Gonzalez, bringing strategic operational expertise that has been instrumental in building Atlanta's premier real estate consulting firm. As Chief Operating Officer since 2019, Ariella oversees marketing and brand strategy, finance, client experience systems, and operational infrastructure.

Her strategic vision transformed VCG from a high-performing real estate practice into a comprehensive consulting firm — building scalable processes that support 50+ annual transactions while maintaining white-glove client service. She also launched Lumicent Homes, VCG's investment branch specializing in property renovation and portfolio development.

Ariella holds a double major in Women's Studies and Sociology from Emory University (Summa Cum Laude) and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania. Before real estate, she owned and operated a successful fitness studio for eight years.
