‘Million Dollar Beach House‘ is a Netflix original reality series that has all the ingredients for it to be a hit – an array of personalities that tick every box of reality TV stereotypes, drama that adds spice to an otherwise boring workplace environment, and cut-throat inter-personal competition and jealousy. Imagine ‘Selling Sunset,’ but set in The Hamptons and with a predominantly male cast, and what you’ll get is ‘Million Dollar Beach House.’ While the former followed realtors from The Oppenheim Group as they navigated their work life and personal relationships, the latter revolves around those who are licensed with Nest Seekers International. Curious to know more about the company and its owner? You’ve come to the right place!
Who Owns Nest Seekers International?

According to Eddie’s bio on the company website, his work experience includes dabbling in development and construction projects, along with investment projects in every market. He has completed all of them in the areas where his brokerage operates, exceeding well over a million square feet.

Along with all this, Eddie is also responsible for identifying and pioneering the syncing of multi-markets in the real estate business – enabling his organization to function in various locations.

The company also has plans to soon enter into other coinciding markets. This has made it emerge as a premiere global real estate organization, dealing in some of the most luxurious and high-end properties on an international scale, that is, to some extent, unparalleled. And, this is all thanks to the innovative thinking and ambition of Eddie Shapiro.
