Our Origin Story

Next-Nest: Born from Outrage, Built for Efficiency

It started with a simple move—one that should have been exciting. But when Marietta (our founder) sold her family home and bought another, the staggering reality hit hard: over $145,000 vanished in fees, commissions, and hidden costs. For what? A system that felt archaic, opaque, and wildly inefficient.

That moment ignited a mission.

We Refused to Accept It

Marietta and co-founder Kate reimagined real estate:

✔ No cold calls—clients find us through transparency.
✔ AI handles busywork—pricing, paperwork, research.
✔ Agents focus 100% on you—strategy, negotiation, results.
✔ Fair pricing—pay only for your success, no hidden fees.

The Next-Nest Revolution—real estate, rebuilt right.

Kate Hotchkiss, CoFounder & Managing Partner

This Isn’t Just Business—It’s Justice.

 

We created Next-Nest because no one should pay six figures for a system that spends 96% of its energy on everything but the client. Today, we’re proving there’s a better way: smarter, fairer, and designed for the way people actually live.
