Fantastic experience: My experience purchasing my new home with Nest was incredible. Thank you to Leah who kept me updated every step of the way and talked through any concerns I had. I felt in very safe hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone for future selling or purchasing.

Lauren Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t recommend Cheryl and Paula enough! From the very beginning of purchasing my new apartment, they were both absolutely amazing. They made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier and were always friendly, helpful and so professional. They genuinely made such a positive difference to the whole experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received.

They were available to respond to any questions we had and supported us through the process with integrity. I would 100% recommend this firm. Well done team; keep up the great work. You are knocking socks off your competitors.

Fantastic experience: Choosing Nest to handle the sale of my elderly Mum’s house was a great decision. David, Cheryl and their team held my hand every step of the way and made what could have been a challenging process much easier. Nothing was too much trouble and I did need a lot of support as a novice to property sales. I would recommend Nest 200% to anyone seeking a professional, empathetic estate agency.

Aimee Laird Published on Google

Fantastic experience: We couldn’t recommend Nest highly enough. From start to finish, the service we received was absolutely outstanding. A huge thank you to Cheryl, David and Paula, who were all fantastic throughout the entire process. Their communication was exceptional, keeping us informed every step of the way and always being available to answer any questions. We had found a property we absolutely loved, so we needed to get our own home on the market as quickly as possible. Nest understood how important the timings were and worked incredibly hard to make it happen. Within just a couple of days, they had a photographer out to our house and our property was ready to launch, giving us the best possible chance of securing our new home. We are so grateful for everything they did. Their marketing is second to none and played a huge part in selling our house. From first contacting Nest to having our house sale agreed took just 8 days, which exceeded all of our expectations. One of the standout features was their online account. It was brilliant to be able to track everything in one place, from viewings and feedback to offers and each stage of the sale. It made the whole process so much easier to follow and gave us real peace of mind knowing exactly where we were at all times. Thank you so much, Cheryl, David and Paula. You made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and would recommend Nest to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We cannot commend Nest enough, a perfect experience

When things became complicated with the solicitors, she went above and beyond to keep everything moving. She was always chasing things up, keeping me updated, and making sure nothing was left sitting still. As a first-time buyer, I really appreciated having someone who was so proactive and helpful. It made a stressful process much easier. I’d definitely recommend Nest Estate Agents to anyone looking to buy a home.

Communication was excellent at every stage – we were kept fully informed, received prompt updates, and always felt that our sale was a priority. Their marketing of our property was outstanding, generating strong interest and helping us secure a great offer. They provided honest advice, handled negotiations expertly, and guided us through every step with confidence and reassurance. What really set them apart was their dedication and personal approach.

Victor Harvey Published on Google

Negative experience: I was to view a property in Ballyclare today, but I was ten minutes late for my appointment because of roadworks, after driving 36 miles from my home. I was very disappointed that the agent did not wait a few minutes for me to arrive, so I had to drive another 36 miles home again,

Nest Estate Agents
Nest Estate Agents

Victor, we confirmed an 11am viewing at 9am with you. A staff member was at the property to facilitate the viewing and stayed to 11.15 - which we have evidence for. The viewing was scheduled for an agreed time, and the property was open and ready as arranged. Unfortunately, as we weren’t informed of any delay, we were unable to accommodate a later arrival.
We always do our best to be flexible where possible, and would have been happy to assist and come back to the property had we known in advance. We also have an office in the town you could have called in to to discuss, but it’s really regretful that you give a small business a one star review given that this situation results from your lateness and failure to contact us.
If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact our office in Ballyclare

Kim Wilson Published on Google

Negative experience: Buyer beware!!!! To say they are disingenuous is an understatement. As a prospective cash buyer on what was clearly an unmortgageable property, I was caught up in a bidding war when told I was bidding against another cash buyer. This ultimately turned out to be a lie which I questioned multiple times with a certain agent as the seller herself had told me that all bidders required a mortgage ! The other prospective purchasers who required mortgages were simply pushing up the selling price. It was only after a conversation with a senior agent that I was inadvertently told the truth. I retracted my original offer and put on a lower cash offer around the asking price which was more realistic and reflective of the properties condition. However what Nest neglected to tell me when submitting my "cash" offer was that the property had already been "sale agreed" to the highest bid who required a mortgage. My own agent from Abbey who was dealing with my sale, contacted them multiple times regarding my offer due to the lack of contact from them to myself. I had my own buyer and was waiting on them to negotiate but they failed to contact me even once.At no point during any conversation was my agent told the property was "sale agreed "and going through a mortgage application.He was led to believe no decision had yet been made. My husband whom they didn't recognize, called into nest out of frustration to ask about progress on the property. It was only then that they unknowingly told him it was " sale agreed "pending a mortgage. They witheld this information from both myself and my agent and were using us as the" plan B" with the expectation that the mortgage application wouldn't be approved due to the houses condition. Despite their lack of transparency and contact , we decided to keep our offer on the property as we were confident we would receive a call in the upcoming weeks. Two weeks later I was contacted again by Nest and told the sale from the previous buyer fell through. After negotiation with the owner I increased my initial offer.Nest informed me the vendor would sale agree the property to us conditional on the surveyor being instructed straight away. However it materialized after a phone call to my mortgage advisor (Mortgage IQ) for advice on doing a private home buyer report,that he was actually actively trying to process the mortgage application for the other buyer but was doubtful it would complete due to the poor state of the property. They had actually sale agreed the property to 2 buyers at the same time!!! , with the expectation that the mortgage application was going to fall through ! Had I not made the phone call I would never had known.I have dealt with every other estate agent in Ballyclare and can honestly say they are all very professional. However I have never had misfortune of dealing with Nest before and am absolutely dumbfounded by their incompetence, deceit ,lack of transparency, and underhand tactics. Absolute Amateurs when dealing with complex sales. Professional integrity is everything when dealing with vendors and buyers alike, and to blame the vendors instructions for their total lack of professionalism is shocking ! If I could give no stars I would .

If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional estate agent, we highly recommend Nest Ballyclare. Thank you again for making the sale of our home such a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: Nest (with special mention for Leah…) proved to be an invaluable partner in what should have been a straightforward property sale, but which was fraught with numerous problems and delays and taking almost 2 years to complete. Nest were right behind each twist and turn of the process, acting promptly to keep it on track, and “going the extra mile” in organizing house clearance, providing advice re utility bill transfer etc. Proactive, tenacious, cooperative and definitely to be recommended.

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our house and received mortgage advice from the team at Nest and couldn't have been happier with the service we received. David, Cheryl and Leah were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional from the moment we rang for a valuation of our property. We really appreciated the regular, prompt communication from the whole team who kept us updated on the status of our sale. We would highly recommend Nest to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a property.

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience with Nest Estate Agents when selling our house. Nothing was ever a hassle. We had (like a lot of people) a very stressful time with other aspects of the whole process but Nest were always there at the end of the phone with either the answers we needed or were the voice of reassurance. I personally feel they go above and beyond to make a very stressful process as straight forward as possible. They are very professional and genuinely want the best outcome for their clients. Cheryl was also great at the mortgage process and insurance applications. We have and will continue to recommend Nest and are very grateful for the friends we’ve also made. The McCords x

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience purchasing my first property through Nest. Regular communication and always available to talk me through any questions I had. Leah and the team were brilliant from initial viewing right through until I picked up the keys. It was brilliant to have that constant support which allowed me to enjoy the process. 10/10 couldn’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience selling with Nest Estate Agents, concluding a hassle-free and seamless sale of property yesterday. Nest Estate Agents are a new business, and I have been very impressed with their no-nonsense, professional approach. From my initial consultation with Cheryl, to chats with Leah who managed negotiations, I found the team to be accessible, knowledgable and extremely helpful. Their impressive presentation of the property, and handling of all viewings, made the whole process very easy, and costs were very reasonable. I have no affiliation with Nest or any of the team, but my experience has been tremendous and I have no hesitation in recommending them. Well done team.

Fantastic experience: I recently sold my house with Nest estate agents. I cannot give enough thanks for the amazing work done. As probably many others before me, I was trying to sell with another agency. Unfortunately that did not go well and spent a lot of time trying to sell my house with no success. One day I was walking by ballyclare sq and saw the agency. I thought they only sold expensive houses as the office looks very professional from the outside. However due to my circumstances I decided to go into the office and just pop the question to know if they would be up for selling my house. I met up with Leah and from the very first moment I was not disappointed. On the very first meeting (without appointment) I explained my situation and all the advice and help from the very beginning was more than the help I got previously from other agencies. Once we agreed on the change of agencies into Nest everything went much smoother. Professional pictures taken, social media advertising and recommendations to other people that might’ve not been looking for my specific house type but might’ve been an option of interest. From the very first date the house was set on the market I started to receive viewings and of course the house was sale agreed in no time. Leah was great on the whole process, keeping me up to date with everything, doing the viewings and advising on the whole process. I really recommend Nest if you are looking to sell your house stress free. And big shot out to Leah and her team for making everything possible.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, professional and helpful team. Couldn't ask for better estate agents when buying my first house. Special thanks to Leah for making the whole process so easy!

Dylan Agnew Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Without a doubt Nest estate agents Ballyclare have made selling my home considerably easier. They are a company that in my opinion, are unrivalled in customer service delivery. From the off the team oozed professionalism. With an in-depth understanding of the market, they managed to sell my home within 10 days. The team didn’t stop there, they helped manage my expectations and ensured that I knew realistic time frames for completion, with daily and weekly ‘check in calls’ from Leah (who is an absolute star). Without a doubt I will be coming back to the team at Nest in the future and I will be recommending them to any one selling or buying a property.

Fantastic experience: 5* Service all around and if there was a 6* we would be awarding it. So glad we went with NEST to sell our property, from the beginning it was their personal touch and their professionalism all rolled into one. They kept us informed and in the loop throughout the whole process and would always respond to phone calls and or any little questions we had. We were relocation to Wales from Ballyclare, which was even more complicated but at NEST everything went to plan Thanks to David, Cheryl, Leah and all the team at NEST, our house move went so smoothly Thanks to all the team at NEST, wish you all the very best in the future

They were able to get us on the market extremely quickly, tell us everything that we need to know/do, and handled both our purchase and sale seamlessly (and kept us so well informed throughout). Their photos were incredible and so professionally well done as well. Honestly cannot recommend enough, thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: This is the second time we have used the expertise of NEST estate agency. We were very pleased with Cheryl and Leah's professionalism. They took the time to provide individual viewings for prospective clients, and Leah sold the benefits of each room and the property very well. We would highly recommend and will use their services again

Diana Swistek Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Excellent and professional service.Leah went above and beyond to arrange a virtual viewing for the rental property. I was relocating from England and so many agents said that this was not possible. Dealing with Nest was like a breath of fresh air. The whole process was very straightforward and I always had a quick response to my questions. Highly recommended.

Scott Mawhinney Published on Google

Fantastic experience: As a first time landlord I honestly can't say enough good things, Nest have been absolutely fantastic for guiding me through the process of letting out my property. From the first viewing with Cheryl, she was so easy to chat with, an absolute professional and very thorough, she really made the process very straightforward and easy to understand. And Leah has been incredible for keeping me up to date the whole way. Within 3 weeks of advertising I had a tenant ready to move in, with absolutely no stress on my side at all. I could not recommend enough!
