What Nestenn does

Nestenn is a French real estate franchise network, headquartered in La Garde (Var) and operating as a subsidiary of Groupe ARCHE. Founded in 2017 from the combination of Solvimo and AVIS-Immobilier, the network runs more than 400 franchised agencies across France and seven international markets (Mauritius, Portugal, USA, Guadeloupe, Tahiti, Thailand, and Cape Verde) with nearly 2,000 collaborators. Since inception the network reports 348,000 completed projects, 118,650 properties sold, and 55,400 properties rented or under management, supported by 18,250+ listings available at any given time.

The platform layers digital tooling on top of the franchise footprint: a Nestenn & Moi customer portal, a free online property valuation tool, 360° virtual tours, a 2026-launched virtual home staging service, electronic signatures, and the Modelo administrative platform. These tools are positioned as both customer-facing conversion assets and franchisee productivity enablers, with claimed annual savings of 60,000+ hours, 75,000+ kWh, and nearly 3 million liters of water from paperless operations. Customer feedback is collected through OpinionSystem under ISO 20252 certification, producing a 94% recommendation score across 67,597 reviews.

Nestenn's revenue mechanics blend percentage-based transaction commissions (typically 5–8%), recurring property management fees on the 55,400 rented units, and franchise affiliation/recurring fees from network members. Distribution is hybrid: local agencies close transactions in physical markets while a centralized website, blog, social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok), and partnerships (Bien'ici, Renault, Plastic Odyssey) drive lead generation and franchise recruitment. President Olivier Alonso leads the group, with strategic training delivered through the ESMI partnership and a luxury sub-brand (Maisons de Famille) addressing the high-end segment.
