We approached several high street estate agents as well as nest and have to say from the onset nest were the best. Kyle was very honest and approachable and it was evident he was passionate about his work, he even came back to see us for a second time to smooth out our quiries. We can't thank Kyle enough for making the selling of our home easy and stress free with the added bonus of his support when we had doubts about moving away. I would highly recommend nest to friends and already have to family :). Kyle thanks again for all your help and support from Mr and Mrs Kershaw Junior x

Nest in Essex is unlike other estate agencies I have experienced! Right from the start the communication, attitude and professionalism has been superb. Dan dealt with us and could not have done more with assisting us in selling a family property that was somewhat cluttered with sentimental items and not easy to photograph! Dan found the right buyer for us first time without loads of time wasters and pointless appointments and kept in touch through the whole sale with advice, humour and his endearing trait of optimism - which was corroborated by the final sale. I just wish all estate agents could have a βDanβ π I would recommend (and already have) to anyone wishing to sell their home with a company that cares about its clients that Nest in Essex is by far the Best!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We have used Nest to sell and buy our first and second property and would not use anyone else. They really know what they are doing and talking about. Their valuation process is great and would make any seller confident to list with them. They are always on hand to offer advice without expecting anything back!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Itβs fantastic to hear that youβve trusted us with both your first and second properties. Iβm so glad our valuation process and support have made a positive impact. We're always here to help, no strings attached! Wishing you both all the best in your new adventures, we canβt wait to see whatβs next for you! π

Absolutely fantastic estate agent. Dan and Leanne's efforts were crucial and single handily carried all parties from start to finish. The ironic thing is they wasn't even my estate agent, but actually the estate agent of my purchase vendor. Never the less, they were all over it and happy to chase, ring and email all parties on every side of the property chain to ensure things remained on track. They went above and beyond to provide advice and guidance in areas not directly related to their responsibilities. Very responsive at pretty much any time of the day. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Don't think we would of made it to exchange without them!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
What an amazing review! Both Leanne and Dan had smiles ear to ear when I read this earlier! - thank you Mike! Nick. π β¦

A professional and forward thinking estate agent who take the time and attention to assist clients from the moment of instruction through to completion. The team offer valuations and viewings and even sales progression out of hours and is like no other high street agent. The founder Nick takes the time and effort to drive the team to offer clients a service like no other. Highly recommend. Youβre not treating like a number and your own partner agent provides an award winning service.PositiveProfessionalism, Value

Nick, you should be very proud of the exceptional company you have created. Our property sale with Nest in Essex has ran so smoothly! Iβm sure this was largely due to our choice of estate agents as well as their recommendation to go with Kew Law who have a brilliant relationship with Nick & the team. From having the offer accepted to moving in, the whole journey took about 8 weeks! We really appreciated the modern ways that Nest work, from the late hours and responsive updates over WhatsApp to the video tour which was uploaded to YouTube. To add to that, their rates were very competitive and they even gave us a house warming gift when we handed over the keys.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Favourite review. Ever!!!! - thank you Abbie! π β¦

We are so glad we used Nest to help sell our home. Nick and Kyle were amazing throughout and exceeded our expectations in every area.... knowledge, professionalism, communication, they were always available whenever we needed to talk to them. Fed up of other agencies aiming to sign us up with the obvious sales patter that amounted to empty promises and unrealistic so called waiting lists of people waiting to buy our house, all at an extortionate rate, we took a shine to Nick when we viewed a property he was marketing. The vendor of the house rated Nest highly and upon talking to Nick we could see why. At valuation Nick presented himself well with a great attitude and honest approach. It's a very stressful event selling your home, Nick made the whole thing much easier. We were supported every step of the way throughout the process and Nick was a valuable help in other links in the chain also. We are now in our new home and shall miss talking to Nick on almost a daily basis. We wish them well and hope to see them continue to grow to an even more successful business. Thanks for everything guys, well done!!

Daniel is absolutely brilliant. It was the best experience of an estate agent Iβve ever had so thank you
5/5
I cannot recommend Nest enough. Nick is extremely knowledgeable about the local area as well as very experienced making for great advice. Following his guidance and strategy we secured a great buyer at a great price. Communication with them is so so easy as well and takes much of the headache out of the process. We would absolutely use again.

Leanne was such an asset during our property search! She has a wonderful balance of friendliness and professionalism. Although we found a property through a different agency I would highly recommend this service as a whole!
Aw thank you! It was a pleasure to help you on your search!

Friendly, Professional, Knowledgable. Nick, Dan and the rest of the team have a fantastic knowledge of the Rayleigh area, and surrounding locations. They work around the clock and you certainly get what you pay for. Communication is frequent and informative (I know this can often be a problem with other agencies). Iβd recommend the team at Nest!
Hi Luke, your feedback is music to our ears! πΆ We're thrilled to hear that Nick, Dan, and the rest of the team impressed you with their local expertise and dedication. π Thank you for recognizing our commitment to top-notch service and communication. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you further in the future! π‘β¨

From listing our house to day of completion, we always knew we chose the perfect estate agent. Nest were simply amazing. Nick always had time for us and explained the process clearly as the sale progressed. The use of whatβs app groups were an excellent means of communication alongside the weekly updates from Leanne. I always felt like it was in good hands and under control! I have already highly recommended Nest to others friends :)
You guys were amazing from Start to finish! Good luck on your next chapter in Canada!!

Excellent service all round. No pushy selling tactics. Honest valuation. Available 9am - 9pm 7 days a week. I couldn't recommend Nick and the team highly enough. Plus they're a fraction of the cost of a high street estate agent. Thanks Nest!
Thank you π β¦

Absolutely incredible service from Dan at Nest. This was our first house purchase so we really didnβt know what to expect. Dans communication was second to none and he was providing daily updates in terms of the process. He escalated responses where needed and we have no doubt without his diligence and commitment the whole process would have taken twice as long. Absolutely first class!
Hi Russell, Wow, we're overjoyed with your review! Buying your first home is a big step and we're thrilled Dan was able to guide you through it with ease. His dedication is certainly one of a kind and we're glad you appreciated it. Thank you for your glowing words, they mean the world to us. Enjoy your new home and remember, we're always here if you need us! Best wishes, The Nest in Essex Team

I would like to thank Kyle and Nick for their support on the purchase of our first house. As you can imagine being a first time buyer it can be quite daunting but not with Nest they made the experience very stress free for us, dealing with nearly everything from start to finish they were there with advise when needed. I would definitely recommend Nest to friends and family. Thanks again :) Amelia & Chas.
5/5
I've had bad experiences from various estate agents I've used in the past. Nest have changed my opinion totally in a positive way on how estate agents operate. If you're serious about selling, these guys will give an honest opinion on what your property is worth on the current market. My property is now sold (stc) after being with them for only 2 weeks! So far, really impressed even with the added bonus that they will help you with negotiations on buying a home for yourself which is all included in their costs!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nick Cheshire very professional independent service that was a second to none. Always there if needed. And in such a very hard time during lockdown and the covid pandemic what can I say if you want to move sell your home then you can't go wrong with Nest in Essex. Nick will have your back from start to finish. Friendly and professional. Choosing Nest in Essex don't waist any time he is just a phone call away now and until its sold. He even has asked how I am going in my new home thats how much he cares. So once again Nick thank you from my wife and I. Good luck and all the best...PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thatβs an amazing review! Thanks Malcolm!!
5/5
For a 100% personal and professional service I would recommend Nest in Essex. From the first meeting with Nick when he supplied us with detailed analysis of the market and the true value of our property, without any of the hype and gueswork we had received from other estate agents, to the completition of the sale, we had someone to help us 24 hours of the day. During the difficulties of coronavirus and after lockdown was eased we had a reassuring voice advising us what to do and what to expect which ultimately turned out to be correct as we sold within a week of the easing and at the asking price. Nest was a personal recommendation to us and we are so glad we took that advice.
Amazing review! Thank you John π β¦
5/5
I dont really know where to start... the team at Nest are absolutely excellent. From start to finish they are nothing but helpful, understanding and so easy to talk to. They are not your normal estate agents and go above and beyond to help. Especially leanne who is absolutely amazing from being friendly, always available to talk and helping me understand things i wasnt sure about. She made selling our home and buying our dream home stress free. Thanks so much the all at Nest! Cant recommend enough! 5 starsPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
