Nest Seekers International is a privately-held residential real estate brokerage firm in New York City. It was founded in 2002 by Eddie Shapiro. About half of its brokers work in New York City, with the rest of the business centering on the Hamptons and South Florida. The firms fast growth is likely helped in no small part by broker Ryan Serhant, who stars in the Bravo reality series Million Dollar Listing. In February 2011, Nest Seekers was fined $5,000 by the Real Estate Board of New York for laying claim to another brokerages exclusive listings and, in an unusual move, was publicly shamed by the board in a mass email. -TA
