More About Eddie Shapiro:
With over two decades of experience in every aspect of the real estate industry Mr. Shapiro continues to lead Nest Seekers on its journey to expand and innovate the brokerage business on a global scale.
Mr. Shapiro began his career in the early 90's as an agent at a small firm in midtown Manhattan. He has since become a self-made successful and adventurous entrepreneur. His resume includes completing development and construction of buildings and investment projects in every market his brokerage operates exceeding well over a million square feet. His multi faceted experience includes developing real estate technologies, hospitality management, innovating branding and marketing concepts and most importantly identifying and pioneering the syncing of major multi markets approach in the real estate brokerage business; hence expending and connecting his firm between New York, New Jersey, The Hamptons, South Florida, Los Angeles, London, Asia and soon to be other coinciding markets. This strategy along with innovative marketing concepts has become an aspiration of every other major firm in the nation.
Always at the forefront are Mr. Shapiro’s core principals of ethics, integrity, loyalty, education, ingenuity and courage by which he continues to lead and disrupt industries with his growing and always expanding team of like-minded individuals.
Very much like every successful story, independence and do it yourself spirit has always been another core driver in his strategy. Today Nest Seekers develops websites, brand marketing campaigns and strategies for its sellers and developers. It publishes magazines and materials unlike any other firm. It is independently responsible for its exclusive internal and external technologies, training programs and various other tools and resources developed and operated in house.
After a decade of guest appearances and participation in some of the most viewed real estate shows and industry and new platforms, Mr. Shapiro has recently launched Nest Media with a number of shows and programs already in development on the worlds leading streaming and broadcast networks.
On August 26 2020, the much anticipated Million Dollar Beach House aired it’s first season on Netflix. Mr. Shapiro is an Executive Producer on the show and continue to serve and drive the project forward.
Mr. Shapiro is a proud father of three very talented and driven children and a devoted husband and family man.
Under the direction of Mr. Shapiro Nest Seekers is on path to expending its roster to over 1000 agents and management staff and over 20 offices and storefront location as it continues its journey to solidify itself as a unique global luxury brand in the fascinating world of real estate.
