Job description

Overview

Nested is redefining estate agency in the UK. Nested Partnership brings onboard best-in-class, hyper-local agents to run their own businesses under the Nested brand. Agents gain autonomy, better work-life balance, and greater take-home potential, while sellers receive a better, more motivated service.

We’re a boldly ambitious team backed by leading VCs and led by experienced founders. If redefining the property industry motivates you and you want to take your career to the next level, join Nested as an Area Partner.

The Role

As a Nested Area Partner, you’ll manage local strategy, pitch, marketing tactics, and your hours — and, as a result, your earnings. You’ll have autonomy to grow your own estate agency business in your area, from prospecting and canvassing to valuing and negotiating. You’ll receive marketing support (doorknocking, direct mail, flyering, local ads) and you’ll run your own local advertising with support from Nested’s marketing professionals. You’ll manage client relationships from start to finish as the single point of contact, with a smart selling app and in-house support available. The commission structure starts at 75% of revenue and increases to 100%, giving you potential to grow your earnings. This is an all-encompassing role that lets you work estate agency your way, backed by Nested’s brand, products, and services.

The Requirements

• We’re looking for Dumbarton’s best estate agent. 5-10 years of top industry experience valuing residential property, winning business, selling stock and delighting customers.
• A clear strategy and understanding of managing a marketing budget, generating leads, and building a local valuation machine.
• An entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic. Self-employment isn’t for everyone: if clients don’t sell, you don’t get paid.
• Unrivalled knowledge of your patch: long-time familiarity with the local area, amenities, schools, and hotspots.
• Alignment with the Nested brand and a customer-centric approach to delivering the best possible outcome and experience for clients.
• Strong social media skills are a bonus; if not, Nested can support you, but genuine enthusiasm to build your brand and engage with your community is expected.

Benefits

• A generous £15,000 income support package for self-employed agents while you build your pipeline.
• An intuitive customer app with exclusive property insights, viewings management for sellers, and smooth client communication.
• Being part of a values-driven agency with ambitious growth plans, an active Area Partner Slack community, and hands-on training.
• Truly flexible working: work where you want, when you want, and how you want.

Equal opportunities

Nested is an equal opportunities employer. We embrace diversity and are committed to working with top talent regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or disability.
