Homeowners deserve to keep the money they've earned.
Nest is normalizing private home sales across Canada — the same legal process agents use, without the five-figure commission.
$35,000 disappears in a transaction your lawyer does for $1,500.
The average Canadian home costs over $680,000. At a typical 5% agent commission plus buyer-agent fees and brokerage costs, that's over $35,000 leaving the homeowner's pocket — often more.
For most families, $35,000 is years of mortgage payments, a child's education fund, or a retirement nest egg. It disappears in a transaction that a lawyer handles for a fraction of the cost.

The gap that didn't make sense.
Nest was founded by a Canadian who watched a family member hand over $42,000 in commission on a home sale — and realized the lawyer who actually protected the deal charged $1,500.
That gap didn't make sense. In Quebec, 17% of homeowners already sell without agents. The legal process is identical. The tools to market a home are accessible to everyone. The only thing missing was a platform built specifically for private sales in Canada.
