Nest Forward is a one-broker Lynn firm — Soraya Cacici founded and owns it, and its Massachusetts real estate broker license is active. The company's site says it's been operating for 23 years, focused on Boston, the North Shore and Cape Ann, and built, in its own words, around "relationships over transactions." The two reviews on file back that framing. A recent review from a first-time homebuyer described Soraya walking them through the process from the first meeting, asking thoughtful questions about what they wanted and staying quick to respond throughout. In a 2024 review, a longtime acquaintance said Soraya spent the first hour of a meeting just getting to know a friend who needed to sell his home under difficult circumstances, then guided him without pressure through a challenging sale. There's too little written history here to say much more — two five-star reviews is a small sample — but both describe the same unhurried, relationship-first approach the company advertises.
We had an amazing experience working with Soraya from the start of our home search to finally getting our dream home. From our very first meeting, she took the time to walk us through the home-buying process and really got to know what we were looking for. She asked thoughtful questions about our needs and preferences, then helped us find listings that fit exactly what we had in mind, which made the whole search so much easier. Throughout the process, Soraya was always quick to respond, incredibly patient with our many questions, and a great source of advice. As first-time homebuyers, there was a lot we didn't know, but she made everything feel much less overwhelming and was always happy to explain things along the way. What really stood out was how dedicated she was during negotiations. She was proactive, always had our best interests in mind, and worked hard to help us put together the strongest offer possible. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to purchase our dream home in our ideal location in Malden just two months after starting our search. Beyond being a fantastic realtor, Soraya genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. She was knowledgeable, supportive, and such a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!
I’ve known Soraya for many years and have seen how much of herself she puts in to her work. It was an easy choice for me to reach out to her when my dear friend needed to sell his home under unfortunate circumstances. Soraya took the first hour of our meeting to get to know my friend. She really wanted to understand his needs and wishes so she could be of help. Countless times she went above and beyond what one would expect. She gave guidance but never pressure. She maneuvered challenging situations with grace and skill. My friend and I both recommend Soraya full heartedly.
