The company has been recognized for its advanced rate algorithms, and unconventional personnel selection. Its chief strategy officer once asked a round of marketing applicants to design sales flyers, rather than résumés, detailing why they would be the best candidates for the job.

Eric Breon is Vacasa's founder and CEO and Cliff Johnson is the company's co-founder and Chief Development Officer.

On November 14, 2016 Vacasa announced extending the Series A round to $40 million following a $5 million investment from risk management provider Assurant.
