HELLO, WE’RE NEST REALTY.
We’re a different kind of real estate brokerage with offices in 15 markets and five states. Here in Wilmington, North Carolina, we operate two busy offices: one in Mayfaire (near Wrightsville Beach), and the other in Carolina Beach. Our difference is born from our belief that buying and selling a home is one of the most important decisions our clients will ever make.
This belief guides us to measure success by something more than the number of yard signs we plant, how many Brokers we hire, or the awards we win. For us, true success comes from helping people move easily and joyfully into the next chapter of their lives. So “the process” of buying and selling real estate becomes one that’s happy, exhilarating, fun, and well worth sharing.
AWARDS ARE NICE. HELPING PEOPLE IS BETTER.
Unlike most real estate firms, we don’t hire every Broker who walks through the door. Quite the contrary. Every Nest Broker is a full-time professional with a singular focus on providing an amazing real estate experience for every one of our buyers and sellers.
The result is a company built on the excellence and commitment of an accomplished team of Brokers, whose ultimate reward comes from the satisfaction they get from happy clients.
THE NEST BUSINESS MODEL / WHO WE ARE
At Nest, we see ourselves as a true partner for each of our agents by offering operational, branding, technology, strategic, design, and marketing support. Nest offers much more than templated systems, out-of-the-box technology, and watered-down marketing programs.
We provide a locally focused, customized, and personalized service that we blend with a best-in-class marketing platform to provide a backbone to our agents.
Think of Nest as a combination of an integrated creative agency, operations team, and strategic partner to support and help our agents grow.

In addition, you’ll work closely with our accounting and operations teams to generate ongoing invoices for receivables—this includes billing for agent marketing and other services.
