From left: Nest Seekers CEO Eddie Shapiro and new hire Caroline Grane
Boutique brokerage Nest Seekers International is planning a hiring spree
on the heels of what it says was its "most profitable year ever" in
2010, CEO Eddie Shapiro announced today.
The New York City-based
company -- whose exclusive new development marketing contracts include
the Residences at 36 Gramercy Park East, 99 John Deco Lofts and the View
in Long Island City -- has already hired some 15 new brokers over the
past few months and is planning to take on 20 more in the months to
come.
Among the recent hires is Caroline Grane, one of several former Core brokers who
jumped ship in order to join the cast of Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing,"
which began shooting its New York City spinoff last month. In addition
to the publicity she'll undoubtedly bring to Nest Seekers through the
show, Grane will be charged with expanding the firm's European
operations.
"We are continuing to increase our activity in a
number of emerging markets as well, in particular China, India and
Brazil, to better capitalize on the strong interest in New York real
estate by investors from those countries," Shapiro said.
