GoogleI was recommended Dan at Nest by a client and he did not disappoint. Even through a lengthy process due to Covid-19, solicitors and other obstacles, he remained super patient and communicated the whole way through. Friendly, professional and very determined. Wether you’re buying or selling your home will be in good hands.
Thanks Dan & Leanne for all of your hard work.

GoogleAfter trying to sell a house using various agencies we switched to Nest in Essex. From the moment Adele Middlehurst valued the property and the team at Nest marketed it, the result was virtually immediate. Without a doubt the best estate agents in Essex… well done

GoogleWe are currently working with Baily to sell our home. She is extremely helpful and knowledgable. She provided us with lots of useful information to help us understand the property market in our area. She gave us her personal phone number which we can reach her on whenever we have any queries. Working with Baily is an easy and very positive experience. Thank you Baily!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleCan’t rate Nest in Essex highly enough. From the start Nick was very helpful and answered all our questions immediately. Our house looked exceptional in the advert and the descriptive write up was fab. Throughout our entire moving process Nick was always on hand to try and help with the issues that arose. His communication was faultless which really helped the process... We’d recommend with any hesitation.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI was introduced to Nest and notably Nick, from Nest by a friend who had sold their house. After meeting in our old home, Nick took us through the process he adopts to marketing and selling homes.
We had meetings with several agents and what for me made Nick and Nest stand out, was his open upfront honesty, no open end promises, no outlandish guarantees. What Nick sold us, was a strategy, a plan and a tried and tested method of marketing and selling homes.
And that is what Nick delivered... 3 times! We were in the very unfortunate position of loosing properties we were buying 2 times, as such we had to go through the process of selling our home 3 times. The one constant we had was Nick, he was steadfast, committed and never wavered. On all 3 occasions, managing to sell our home for above the amount we'd set out to achieve on our first meeting some 12 months before, even with a Liz Truss budget, and rocketing interest rate, he delivered time and time again.
I'd never met Nick before the process, despite running my business from a building only round the corner, but this process has made Nick a true friend and someone I cannot thank enough for the support, advice and guidance he gave us, throughout what was the most challenging experience our family has been through together.

GoogleWe recently moved house and Rachel from Nest was our estate agent. Dealing with the same person was definitely very helpful and felt more personal. She was quick to answer queries via phone or WhatsApp messages. We didn't have the easiest solicitors to deal with and Rachel really did make this difficult aspect easier. She told us what they should be doing and was relentless in trying to get answers of out them for us. I think we may have given up on the whole process if it hadn't been for Rachel. The estate agent had a professional feel and we would definitely use Nest again in the future.
