Our Core Values

There are a lot of real estate brokerages, but there is only one Nest. And there’s a reason for that. We were founded to be different. We live, work, and play under a philosophy that buying and selling property is about the client, not the transaction. We improve the home buying and selling experience by combining the latest technology and the best Agents to make the process more transparent, more efficient, service-focused, and fun!

Having been in real estate since 2010 and after growing her own sphere and building a team, Stephanie is excited for the opportunity to own Nest Realty Greater Louisville. She leads our listing division with intense training, structure, and a repeatable process to guarantee every single home is marketed at the very top level.

Our Support Team

As a real estate agent, it’s easy to feel like you’re a solo team. And while we know you can do all the heavy lifting yourself, it’s nice to feel encouraged along the way. We’ve assembled an in-house support team to help you execute your daily business. From transaction management to marketing, and operations, our support team is here to help.

Partnering with Nest

Nest offers a true partnership and extraordinary value to each and every one of our Nesters. Our offering is a combination of technology, systems, services, and a brand that enables you to build a durable business and offer your clients a memorable experience.

Don’t think of us as a brokerage. Think of us as the creative, marketing, and operational teams in your corner, championing your real estate business.

Here’s the Nest foundation upon which you can continue to grow your business:

• Turnkey sphere nurturing with automated outreach
• Custom-built technology that streamlines your processes
• A client-facing transaction portal that empowers your clients
• Market intelligence that leads to smarter real estate recommendations
• An in-house marketing team that gives you creatives in your corner

The Nest Difference

As an agent, you work hard. You’re the CEO, accountant, and sales representative for your company. You work late hours, weekends, and holidays. Real Estate is stressful, and sometimes you bear the brunt of client frustrations.

Why should your brokerage work just as hard for you behind the scenes?

At Nest, our work isn’t done until we’ve provided our agents (and their clients) with the best tools, service and support the industry has to offer.

(And we don’t believe our job will ever be done.)

Our Growth

Stats don’t matter unless they bring you value. We’re proud of what the numbers show, but at the end of the day, what really matters is the experience we gain from each transaction.

1600+

The number of clients we have helped sell or find their new nest since we opened our doors in 2020.

450

The number of clients that were extremely happy to receive a jar of cookie mix from Nest in 2023.

150,000

The number of texts our Nesters sent out in 2023. That’s a lot of happily buzzing phones!

Design Matters

Design is a big piece of who we are. This doesn’t just refer to our logos, fonts, and colors. At Nest, it’s a way of thinking. Great design builds trust and nurtures relationships. But above all else, design helps strengthen our collective brand to help you stand out from your competition.

Tools and Technology

At Nest, we’re laser focused on providing you with the best systems and marketing. Our ever-evolving technology offerings enable you to efficiently and productively run your business. In addition, our personalized marketing support helps each and every one of our Nesters shine.

Community and Culture

You bring the hustle and the local knowledge. We bring innovative marketing that allows for a deeper connection with your community. Together, we elevate the level of service in the real estate industry.

Moving When the Time is Right

We understand that transitioning your business is a large endeavor—and most likely impacts your clients, friends, and family. That’s why we want to make this process as simple as possible, so you can get up and running quickly and easily. Here are a few ways we’ll help you make the switch:

 

WE’LL SET A TIMELINE

We’ll review your current listings and book of business, set a transition strategy, and then discuss a mutually beneficial timeline.

 

WE’LL SUPPORT YOU

We will be there for you every step of the way, making sure to walk you through the Nest processes and tools. We want you to succeed just as much as you do.

 

WE’LL HELP DOT THE I’S

No one likes filling out paperwork, but we’ve made it easy by pre-assembling your license transfer paperwork for you. Just grab a pen and let’s get going!

 

WE’LL HELP YOU SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS

You supply your client list and we’ll supply the marketing. We’ll help you send print, digital, and social media announcements sharing the exciting news that you’ve moved your practice.

We’d Love to Hear from You
