Self-Employed Estate Agent

Nested is redefining estate agency in the UK. Traditional agency is a solid platform to learn your trade, but it limits agents’ earning potential — and their ability to innovate. Great agents are stifled, and the customer experience has barely changed in decades. We’ve introduced the Nested Partnership: Bringing onboard best‑in‑class, hyper‑local agents to effectively run their own businesses under the Nested brand. Agents on the Nested platform get a better work‑life balance, more autonomy over how they work, and more control over their take‑home. In turn, sellers get a better experience with an agent who’s motivated to get them the best possible outcome.

The Role:

• In charge of your local strategy, pitch, marketing tactics, and hours—and as a result, your earnings.
• Autonomy to grow your own estate agency business in the area you know best, from prospecting and canvassing to valuing and negotiating.
• Supported by Nested’s marketing team for local advertising (doorknocking, direct mail, flyering, local newspaper ads) with professional guidance.
• Manage the client relationship from start to finish, acting as their single point of contact throughout their Nested journey.
• Enjoy a commission structure starting at 75% of revenue rising to 100% based on performance.

Requirements:

• 5‑10 years of top‑industry experience valuing residential property, winning business, selling stock, and delighting customers.
• A clear strategy and understanding of what it takes to manage a marketing budget, generate leads and build a local valuation machine.
• A truly entrepreneurial spirit and unrivalled work ethic.
• Self‑employment isn’t for everyone—if your clients don’t sell, you don’t get paid.
• Genuine passion for the craft and a highly proactive attitude are required.
• Unrivalled knowledge of your patch: you’ve lived in your local area for years and know all the best amenities, schools and hotspots.
• Alignment with the Nested brand, and a customer‑centric approach: you must live and breathe the Nested values and be obsessed with providing the best possible outcome for your clients.
• Strong social media skills would be a bonus, but not essential.
• Enthusiasm to build your brand and engage with your community is expected.

Benefits:

• A generous £15,000 income‑support package.
• As a self‑employed agent, you’re not paid a base salary. We’ll support you financially whilst you build your pipeline to make sure you’re not under pressure in your first few months.
• An intuitive, market‑leading customer app designed to provide you with exclusive property insights, manage viewings on behalf of sellers, and make communication with your clients as smooth as butter.
• The chance to be part of a values‑driven estate agency with ambitious growth plans, an active Area Partner Slack community, and hands‑on training to help you develop your career.
• Truly flexible working, with the ability to work where you want, when you want, and how you want.

Nested is proud to be an equal‑opportunities employer. At Nested we embrace diversity and see it as a benefit to our company. That’s why we’re committed to working with top talent regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or status as an individual with a disability.
