About Nest Connect

Founded by Principal Director Michelle Watt in 2023, Nest Connect was born from over 20 years of real estate experience and a clear vision: property owners deserve more than being treated as just another number.

Nest Connect is different. We’re a specialised property management business built on transparency, local knowledge, and genuine care for your investment. Michelle’s deep industry expertise redefines the owner-agent relationship, offering you a trustworthy partnership where your property’s condition, your financial outcomes, and your tenant’s experience all matter equally.

As a Buyer's Agent, I understand how crucial expertise and professionalism are in the real estate sector. Although I have not yet personally engaged Michelle's services as a Property Manager for my investor clients in Brisbane, I have witnessed the positive impact of her work within our BNI group. Michelle is detailed, thorough, and process-driven, delivering outstanding service to her clients. Michelle’s dedication and proven success make her the obvious choice for anyone looking for a quality property manager for their investment portfolio in the Brisbane region.

I have used Michelle’s services and need to say how professional and efficient she was. My previous tenants were paying less than current rates and she had no problem securing a higher weekly rental amount without being aggressive or completely excessive. The new tenant was equally happy with Michelle’s services - Rebecca Parry
