President and CEO Eddie Shapiro founded the company in 2001.

Various brokers at Nest Seekers International are featured on real estate reality shows. Ryan Serhant is a featured agent on Bravo TV's program Million Dollar Listing New York, appearing on the show since its first season in 2012.[17] [18] Beverly Hills Regional Managing Director Marisa Zanuck was a cast member on the Bravo TV program Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She has also appeared on HGTV's Selling LA and episodes of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.[19] [20] [21] Agent Caroline Grane appears in the eighth season of TV3's Swedish Hollywood Wives.[22] [23] In 2019, Nest Seekers International launched Nest Media, a stand-alone media company that produces and delivers real estate focused content. Nest Media partnered with DIGA Studios to jointly develop and produce unscripted real-estate lifestyle formats, partially funded by Nest Seekers, for TV and streaming distribution.[24] In 2020, Million Dollar Beach House, a program produced by Nest Media and DIGA Studios, aired on Netflix starring Nest Seekers International agents J.B. Andreassi, Michael Fulfree, James "Jimmy" Giugliano, Noel Roberts and Peggy Zabakolas.[25] In 2022, Selling The Hamptons, featuring Nest Seekers International agents in The Hamptons, aired on Discovery+ with plans for a future second season.[26]

In May 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Nest Seekers realtor Jonathan Davis was accused of squatting in a Hamptons home located in Sag Harbor, New York.[40] He is accused of causing extensive damage to the property, as well as taking advantage of rules put in place to protect vulnerable tenants from eviction, in order to reside in the home beyond the terms of the lease.[41] [42]
