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.
