Why Nestora exists
The problem
Property portals show a price and some photos, but buyers have to work out monthly costs, fees and whether the price is fair somewhere else.
The product
Nestora puts floor plans, area price history and full affordability numbers on every listing, and books viewings in the same app.
Built for: Home buyers and renters, and the agencies and developers who want better-qualified enquiries.
- Map search with live price pins and filters
- Listing pages with floor plans and area price history
- Monthly payment and upfront cost calculator
- Viewing booking with agent confirmation
- In-app chat with verified agents
- Saved searches with price-drop alerts
