Online estate agency Nested has launched in Scotland, with Andy Reid, formerly of Keller Williams UK, appointed as their regional partner north of the border.

In February of this year, the self-employed estate agency announced its partnership model, which sees partner agents receive at least 75% of the commission they earn.

Since then, the firm has grown from 10 to 33 partner agents, and they are now poised to grow further as they expand north of the border.

Andy Reid will be at the helm of these expansion plans in Scotland.

With two decades of estate agency experience to his name, the former Keller Williams and RE/MAX franchisee owner will be responsible for running the entire Scottish region, ensuring all Nested agents who launch their business via Nested are provided with the support they need for success.

He will also be responsible for delivering full training within the region, to ensure that Nested’s high standards are met and maintained by its partner agents.

Nested have already hit the ground running having signed up their first partner agent, covering the area of Inverness.

Reid commented: “As an owner and in leadership roles within various franchise models, I have witnessed the challenges these models face in establishing themselves in the UK, especially within the Scottish property market and unique legal system.

“When looking at Nested and the unwavering support, guidance and advanced technology on offer, along with their desire to ensure that the processes the Scottish property system requires are set up with the clients and agents in mind, it seemed obvious to me that Nested was the perfect self-employed model for Scotland.

“I am excited to contribute to the growth and success of Nested Scotland as an integral part of the nationwide group by ensuring that our Scottish agents are set up for success better than anywhere else.”

Alice Bullard, MD at Nested, commented: “We’re delighted to have Andy Reid joining us as the Regional Partner for Scotland. It was vitally important to have someone leading this region who has the knowledge and experience of the Scottish property market, to ensure that our agents in this country are supported with processes that fit their system.”
