The Founders of NEST: Real Estate Expertise at the Service of Your Life Project
A Shared Vision: Real Estate as a Life Project
At NEST French Living, every real estate project goes far beyond a simple acquisition.
Whether it is a second home, an investment, or a life project in France, each decision involves far more than capital.
It reflects a vision, a lifestyle, and a long-term perspective.
It is from this conviction that NEST was born:
To offer a strategic, human, and long-term approach tailored to a demanding, often international clientele.
Behind this vision are three partners with complementary expertise, united by a shared ambition:
To turn every acquisition into the right decision.
A Holistic Approach to Real Estate Investment
The French real estate market—particularly for character properties—requires a comprehensive perspective.
Identifying a property is no longer enough.
It must be understood in terms of:
Its true potential
Its alignment with a life project
Its technical constraints
Its wealth and investment implications
This holistic approach is at the core of NEST.
Each project is analyzed through three lenses:
Vision
Value
Feasibility
A complementarity directly embodied by its three founders.
Lisa Mazzoni-Risso: Vision, Meaning, and Strategy
Co-founder of NEST, Lisa Mazzoni-Risso embodies the strategic and intuitive dimension of the company.
With over 14 years of experience in real estate and hospitality, in France and internationally, she has developed a distinctive approach centered on meaning, balance, and coherence.
Her deep understanding of international clients allows her to guide projects where the following intersect:
Quality of life
Investment strategy
Local anchoring
Lisa does not think in terms of properties, but in terms of places to live.
She is the driving force behind the NEST philosophy:
A bespoke approach where intuition and strategy meet to create lasting projects.
Nicolas Roatta: Market Expertise and Acquisition Strategy
Co-founder Nicolas Roatta brings an in-depth understanding of the real estate market and its dynamics.
Through extensive transactional experience, he is able to quickly identify:
Relevant opportunities
Overvalued assets
Local market dynamics
His role is central to securing acquisitions.
With a rigorous and transparent approach, he supports clients in:
Property selection
Value analysis
Negotiation
His strength lies in transforming opportunities into coherent investments aligned with each client’s objectives.
Vincent Califano: Technical Expertise and Value Creation
Co-founder Vincent Califano oversees all technical and operational aspects of each project.
A specialist in real estate project management, he supports every acquisition in its concrete reality:
Technical audits
Feasibility analysis
Project coordination
Asset enhancement
His approach anticipates what is not immediately visible:
Structural constraints
True costs
Transformation potential
Leveraging a network of qualified contractors and partners, he ensures controlled execution and sustainable value creation.
A Complementary Expertise Serving Each Client
NEST’s strength lies in this alliance:
Vision, market insight, and technical expertise.
Three pillars that cover the entire real estate lifecycle:
Before acquisition
During decision-making
After purchase
This holistic approach is particularly suited to clients who are:
Expatriates
International buyers
Highly demanding
For whom investing in France requires a trusted partner.
A Tailored Approach for International Clients
Buying property in France from abroad involves:
Geographic distance
Limited knowledge of the local market
Specific legal and tax considerations
NEST supports its clients at every stage, with a consistent level of excellence:
Understanding the project
Targeted property selection
Securing the process
Long-term follow-up
The objective is not simply to complete a transaction,
but to build a coherent, sustainable, and controlled project.
NEST: Expertise, Discretion, and Commitment
Beyond expertise, NEST is built on strong core values:
Trust
Discretion
Commitment
Long-term vision
Each project is approached with the same level of attention, whether it involves a pied-à-terre, a second home, or a long-term investment.
