If, for some reason, you don't agree with them, then we kindly ask and suggest that you leave this website. If you do choose to use our website and apps, then the action will serve as your agreement to be bound by out terms of service

SoldNest is operated in compliance with all state and federal housing laws where licensed.

  2. Creating and maintaining a profile on SoldNest is 100% free. However, any lead and referrals you receive from SoldNest where you handle a real estate transaction, you agree to pay us a 30% referral fee based on the total gross commission. This is how SoldNest generates revenue and is able to provide high-quality seller referrals to you. The terms for this referral fee are located here for brokers and here for agents.
  3. It is your sole responsibility for maintaining your own real estate license and for following all applicable real estate laws regarding documentation, disclosures, and any other brokerage responsibilities. You are also responsible for the real estate brokerage services provided to your clients and fully agree to indemnify, defend and hold SoldNest harmless from any claims, damages, and costs incurred by SoldNest arising from claims by your clients regarding the brokerage and real estate services you have provided.
  4. Your participation in being a SoldNest partner agent and in our service is voluntary and be terminated by either you or SoldNest, for any reason, and at any time, with written notice. However, any referrals made prior to such termination are still bound by this agreement, and referral fees will be due upon the closing of any of these transactions.
  5. Regarding SoldNest referrals, you agree to be contacted by SoldNest and/or its referrals by phone, email, mail or any other reasonable means, and you further agree that you will not provide SoldNest referrals to any other party without our written consent.
  6. You may receive or initiate a phone call from a SoldNest representative or one of our referrals via one of SoldNest's tracked phone numbers. If this occurs, SoldNest may create a digital audio recording of the call. You agree and acknowledge that your phone call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes.
  7. All information you provide to SoldNest shall be accurate, complete and owned by you. If any information becomes inaccurate, you agree to update it as soon as possible. If we discover that any of your information is inaccurate, we may correct it ourselves. You hereby grant us permission to email or display your profile (including your name, transaction details, brokerage name, and any other information that may be valuable to potential home sellers) and such other information as may be supplied by you on or from our website www.soldnest.com and such other partner and affiliate websites as we believe advisable for marketing purposes.

Terms for Sellers and Buyers

All non-real estate professionals (including prospective Sellers and Buyers and their representatives) who are involved with and use our website must agree with the following terms:

  1. We may make a professional introduction between you and one of our partners, including our real estate agent partners. Of course, this introduction involves sharing the contact information of each party with the other. When you submit information to SoldNest.com for a home valuation or for a request, you authorize us to use and provide this information to make an introduction. By providing this information to us, you consent to being contacted by us and by our partners via phone, email, mail or other reasonable means.
  2. For us to help you, we need you to provide information that is accurate and complete, especially your contact information so that our Real Estate Agent partners can contact you quickly and efficiently. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to anyone who supplies information that is inaccurate or misleading.
  3. You understand that while SoldNest may refer real estate professionals, we do not perform real estate brokerage services. Any Real Estate brokerage activities are performed by local Real Estate Professionals that have been referred to you. We do not endorse, recommend or otherwise know the terms of any agreement between you and a real estate professional.
  4. You understand that for our services we may receive payment (a referral fee) that may be a percentage of the commission received by the professionals involved in the real estate transaction. There is no charge to you. Any payment is due based on a separate agreement between us and the professional involved. Your use of our services constitutes your acknowledgment of, and agreement to, this compensation arrangement.
  5. You understand that a home valuation and home value are only estimates and should not be considered as or replaced for an appraisal. Your home may be worth more or less than the Nestimator value and is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. To get the most accurate opinion of what that might be, it's best to have a professional expert give you their opinion.
  6. You understand that any home upgrade recommendations and the potential value increase and estimated profit are only estimates and SoldNest makes no guarantees to the exact dollar value added to your property or the potential return on investment.
  7. Your participation in our service is voluntary and can be terminated by either of us for any reason at any time with written notice. However, any referrals made prior to such termination are still bound by the agreement that we may have with a real estate professional.
  8. You agree that we may modify the services provided or these terms of service at any time. We will notify you in advance of any significant changes of our services, and you agree that your continued use of our services after the notice period means that you accept the new terms and any subsequent services shall be governed by the new terms.
  9. You may initiate or receive a call from a SoldNest representative or one of our agent partners via one of SoldNest's tracked phone numbers. If you do so, SoldNest may create a digital audio recording of the call. You acknowledge and agree that your phone call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes only.

We each WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. Exceptions: Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
  8. Finally, you also agree to the following: These Terms of Service shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If any part of these Terms of Service are determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.
