Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is NearMyNest?

A: A directory of goods and services offered by people in and around your residential society — home bakers, tutors, cleaners, trainers, repair people. Pick your society and see who is nearby.

Q: Do I need an account to browse?

A: No. Browsing, searching and comparing are open to everyone. An account is only needed to offer something yourself or to save societies.

Q: Who can create a listing?

A: Any signed-in resident. There is no separate vendor account: offering a cake or a maths class is just something a neighbour does.

Q: How long does approval take?

A: A human moderator reads every listing before it goes live, usually within a day. You can see whether it is pending, approved or rejected under My listings, along with the reason if it was rejected.

Q: Does it cost anything?

A: Listing is free while NearMyNest is getting started. Paid plans that keep a listing live for a set period are on the roadmap; nothing is charged today.

Q: Can I list in more than one society?

A: Yes. When you create a listing you tick every society you serve, and it appears for residents of each one.

Q: My society is not in the list. What do I do?

A: Send us the society name, city and address via the contact page and we will add it.

Q: How do I edit or remove a listing?

A: Editing from the dashboard is coming soon. Until then, contact us and we will update or remove it for you.
