Who are we?
Well to explain that we need to go back to 2014. when the Founder of Nest in Essex was working for an independent estate agency in Rayleigh. He noticed the market changing, throughout his career he has seen the internet slowly take the forefront in marketing, and although 'old school' estate agency plays a big part in the experience of an estate agent.

I cannot recommend Nick and his team highly enough. Not only a professional friendly service awaits you from the moment you make that first call right through to completion but quality photos taken, realistic selling price, fresh marketing ideas and regular progress updates. Not what I expected as he, Karen and Lee went above and beyond to yield a far better experience and so I have no problem not only recommending, but would use again.Thanks again Nest; Nick, Karen and Lee you work tirelessly to make a stressful process easier for everyone.

What a professional service they offered, dad was so impressed with the thoroughness of all searches undertaken and it takes a lot to please him! Well done! I will be sending more people your way!

I was inundated with estate agentletters claiming to be able to sell my property, I met Nick at a function and he gave me aton of advice and never once tried to sell his services to me, instead gave me a ton of advice on what Ican do toimprove my marketing. Idiscovered the agents that were marketing my home didn’tlike taking the advice of another agent so gave a lotof resistance.I then contacted Nickand removed from marketing with the other two. Nick explained a complete planwhich he stuck too andmanaged to get me an offer Iwas willing to accept. Fantastic service and huge amount of knowledge. More...

This is the 2nd time I have used Nick and the team at Nest, and honestly why would you even consider looking at other agents. (Yes, there was a certain high st agent that valued my property at 45k less than the final agreed price, thankfully I didn't use them!)Nick is part of that rare breed of honest and fair estate agents.From initial phone call through to completion I could count on Nest to be there 24/7 (and I do mean, literally 24/7!) and to take the stress out of the selling process.The property was marketed superbly. Nick gave me and honest range of what he thought the property was worth, and we hit the exact number he said we would.We had many viewings in the first weekend alone, after the very first viewing, Nick said "They'll be back, trust me", and sure enough, 4 weeks later I had the exact offer I was asking for.After the sale was agreed, Nick's support team were all over everything and kept me updated with the progression of the whole chain.A big thank you to Nick, Karen and the rest of the team.

Nick and the team at Nest have been fantastic and while I will be posting a full review once everything is signed (don't like to jinx things! ) I would recommend them for anyone looking to sell a property. From a professional photographer who took outstanding photos, through to Nick being highly responsive and available pretty much 24/7 to answer any questions, they have been a pleasure to deal with. Do not overlook these guys for the sake of a known name and shop front on the highstreet, they really do deliver. And they also act as a buying agent on your behalf, taking the hassle out od negotiating with estate agents which was big plus for us. Thank you, Nest! More...

We have been incredibly happy with the service provided by Nest in Essex and Nick Cheshire. The level of customer service was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. Nick delivered above and beyond on his assurances that he would take calls whenever physically possible and if not able, would call back as soon as he could. This extended to weekend and evenings such was the commitment to service and the goal of selling the property. Having dealt with other agents in the past who clearly screen calls it was refreshing to receive the service you should be able to expect.

After a poor experience with initial buyers which Nick managed impeccably, Nest sold our house within a day of it going on the market and we are completed 7 weeks later to the day.

Whilst one of the primary benefits of selling our house with Nest was the money saved by way of their flat fee rather than the high street's 1% sale commission, equally important was the straight talking and no nonsense facts. Rather than empty promises from agents quoting the highest values just to get the sale (all those properties on Rightmove for months which slowly get reduced...), Nick provided evidence of the true value and where it needed to be pitched in order to sell the house and move.

I would thoroughly recommend Nest in Essex to anyone looking to sell their house in the surrounding area. There appears to me to be no need to use the high street when a business model such as Nest in Essex exists and is serviced to such an incredibly high standard. Well done Nick and thanks very much.

Highly recommend Nest - amazing service from start to finish! Both Nick and Kyle are genuinely nice guys and so knowledgeable. Fair and transparent pricing too which is what initially attracted us. House sold in 4 days after 1st viewing and we wouldn't have completed in the 3 months we did if it wasn't for Nick - to say he went above and beyond is an understatement! By the end of our sale/purchase others in the chain had estate agent envy! Wouldn't hesitate to use Nest if we ever decided to move again. Thanks guys! More...

Nick at Nest has been fantastic - and he's not even my estate agent (he's acting on behalf of the vendor of the house we're buying)! !
After several instances where my own estate agent had been telling me a few, let's call them 'white lies', I found myself turning to Nick for an honest representation of what was happening with regards to our house purchase and chain.
It was never too much trouble for Nick to pick the the phone to me or answer my panicked emails when I was becoming increasingly stressed by my own agents 'untruths'.
Nick has been extremely professional throughout and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an estate agent in the Essex area (and further afield as I'm aware he's trying to branch out!). I only wish I'd used Nest for the sale of my own property and I feel that Nick is much more deserving of the fee I'm having to pay to my own useless agents!!
Thanks again for all your help Nick and keep up the great work!!

Nest were really fabulous right from the start of our valuations. Nick was very helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. From August when we went on the market we had plenty of viewings and all of them were carried out by the Nest team. This made it a lot easier for us as we both work full time. We had a very small chain of just 3 parties so once we'd sold we had moved in to our new property within 9 weeks! Professional at all times - able to laugh at some things - always called back if we'd left a message - text us information whenever we had requested it - always available. I couldn't fault Nick and the Nest team at all. Top service at a very very competitive price. Highly recommended. Mrs R More...

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!! More...

Q&As

Achievement, when I walk away from a job knowing I have completed it to such a standard both parties would recommend me without hesitation, and then to see they do exactly that. That is the achievement and the bit I love most about this own job.

Targets, I hated them. I wanted a relaxed by professional environment whereby I did what I loved because I enjoyed it, and not feel like I have to because you’ll be sacked otherwise. I want to do the job because I want to, and that in itself is the key to happiness in the workplace.

I’m honest and reliable, I am not the sort of agent to tell you what you want to hear and pride myself on being professional and personal.

Services

Who are we?
Well to explain that we need to go back to 2014. when the Founder of Nest in Essex was working for an independent estate agency in Rayleigh. He noticed the market changing, throughout his career he has seen the internet slowly take the forefront in marketing, and although 'old school' estate agency plays a big part in the experience of an estate agent. Marketing was taking a bigger section.
The agency he worked for simply wasn't a fit for the 'new' way of marketing, so Nick decided to take the jump at only 24 and start Nest in Essex.

Nick wanted to concentrate on three parts of the business, which were building relationships with clients, learning all aspects of property marketing and using his experience and skills in negotiating the highest possible sale price, and lowest possible purchase price.

Since then Nest in Essex has won a regional award, a national award and have also been recognised in the "best estate agent" guide 2019

Where do we want to be?
Most modern day families have a builder they use, they have an accountant, a Dr, a painter and decorate, an electrician and so on....
But very, very rarely do they have an estate agent. that is where we come in. we want to fill that gap and be the 'families estate agent'

We feel 'estate agents' have got an awful reputation, and sure there are plenty of companies who don't help with this outlook. it is our job to ensure we are not tarnished with the same brush. we concentrate on long lasting and trusted relationships making sure we act with one interest at heart. yours.

There is a reason we have clients using us more than once, as well as friends and families of them clients also contacting us. its not because we sell 'quickly' or dominate a particular town. it is purely down to, we do what we do, and we do it incredibly well, ensuring each client has the highest possible sale price, and the lowest possible purchase price through a carefully planned and well document journey..... oh and we are great to get along with!
