About us

Two Salem locals who know closings and know the neighborhood

We started Salem Nest because the best part of a new home in Salem is the people and places around it. Every basket is our introduction.

Jessica

Comes from mortgage lending and knows how closings run and what agents and lenders need on the day.

Jacob

Covers the city through What's Happening Salem, and knows the makers, shops and restaurants that end up in every basket.

Order

Request a basket

Send the details at least five business days before the estimated closing.

We'll confirm within one business day, and nothing is charged until you approve the total.
