Who we are
Real people you can meet before you sign
Renting sight-unseen in a new city is where things go wrong. Nest is a team that inspects every home in person, writes contracts in your language, and never charges you a tenant agency fee, in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Our leasing agents take you from the first viewing to the day you get the keys.

Why we built Nest
A better way to rent
Nest was founded because renting a home as an expat is full of traps. Listings that are already gone, photos that do not match the place, surprise fees, and deposits that never come back.
So Leslie McKenna, our founder and CEO, built the opposite. Homes are inspected in person before they go live. Pricing is shown all-in, not just the headline rent. The landlord pays our commission, so you never pay a tenant agency fee. And the same team is with you from your first message to the day you get the keys.
