We built Nestly because moving is hard.
And finding the right people, the right neighborhood, and the right advice shouldn't feel like a cold-call gauntlet. It should feel like a friend who's done it before.
Alicia Haines
"I moved from Boston with two suitcases and a dog. I had to figure everything out the hard way. Nestly is the friend I wish I'd had."
Alicia spent two decades selling homes in New England before she packed up her own life and moved south. The relocation taught her something her career hadn't: even an expert is overwhelmed when the entire move — schools, neighborhoods, doctors, dog parks, the right coffee shop — has to be figured out from scratch.
She started Nestly to give every mover access to what she eventually built for herself: a small, trusted circle of people, places, and answers — instead of a thousand tabs and a rolodex of strangers.
"Moving isn't a transaction. It's a turning point. The people who help you do it should feel like they're rooting for you — because they are."
