Schedule and Pay for Inspection
Before you commit, we want you to see the property with your own eyes. Schedule an inspection in one of three formats: an in-person visit, a live video tour guided by our team, or a self-guided 3D walkthrough. A small inspection fee is required upfront — this covers the staff time and ensures only serious inquiries proceed, keeping the process efficient for everyone.
The inspection fee is credited toward your first payment if you decide to move forward, so it's never wasted. Choose a date and time that works for you, and we'll confirm within hours.
Reserve with 40% Upfront
This is where NestHarbor stands apart. Instead of requiring the full amount upfront, our payment plan lets you secure a rental with just 40% upfront, and a purchase with only 20% down. This gives you financial breathing room while locking in your chosen home so nobody else can claim it.
For buyers, the same flexibility applies — pay a flexible down payment to reserve the property, with the remaining balance due at closing. You can even combine this with our rent-to-own program for maximum flexibility. Choose from our tiered payment methods, with more options unlocking after your first successful transaction.
Move In and Settle
On move-in day, you'll receive your keys, access codes, and a welcome packet with everything you need to know about your new home and neighborhood. Take your time to inspect the property, test all appliances, and note any concerns. Our team is available to address any issues immediately.
Once you've settled in and confirmed everything meets your expectations, the reservation is complete. This is your moment to truly evaluate the property before any further financial commitment — a level of protection that traditional rentals simply don't offer.
Complete the Balance Payment
For rentals, you pay the remaining 60% either 1 month or 3 months after you move in — whichever you choose. For purchases, you pay just 20% down and spread the remaining balance over as long a period as possible. At this point, all payment methods are unlocked for you — including cryptocurrency, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and bank transfers — giving you maximum flexibility for future transactions.
From here, your relationship with NestHarbor continues. You'll have access to your personal dashboard to manage payments, track installment plans, communicate with our team, receive promotional offers, and explore new listings. Our AI assistant Harper remains available for any questions, and our admin team is always just a message away.
