Our story

Real estate with a reason.

Givenest is an Arizona real estate brokerage built on a simple belief: every home sale is an opportunity to do something meaningful. So we made giving a part of every closing.

Why we built this

If we're moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in every transaction, why doesn't any of that go somewhere that matters?

Givenest was founded by Dustin Tessendorf and Kyndall Yates in Arizona with a simple question.

Dustin, who grew up in South Africa, saw firsthand the impact that giving can have — and wanted to build something that made it part of everyday life. Kyndall shared that vision: a desire to help people through one of the biggest transactions of their lives while being part of something bigger than herself.

At every closing, Givenest donates 25% of its commission to a charity chosen by the client. No extra cost. No gimmicks. Just a different way to buy and sell real estate.

Beyond the transaction, their mission is simple: to empower agents to build meaningful careers — providing for their families while making a real impact with every closing.
