Build your own estate agency business with the support of Nested
At Nested, we believe great estate agents deserve more freedom, more support and a greater share of the rewards they create.
Traditional agency can be an excellent place to learn your craft, but for many experienced agents, it can limit earning potential, flexibility and autonomy.
Our platform enables ambitious estate agents to build their own businesses under a trusted national brand, whilst benefiting from industry-leading technology, marketing support and an experienced HQ team who understand the realities of estate agency.
Whether you're an experienced negotiator, valuer, branch manager, or already operating independently, Nested provides the tools, support and community to help you grow a successful business in your local area.
Why Join Nested?
Keep More Of What You Earn
Unlike other self employed estate agency models, Nested allows agents to keep a significantly greater share of the revenue they generate. Starting at a 75/25 split, our commission structure is designed to reward growth and success, with agents able to earn up to 100% commission once their cap is reached.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
