Radio personality and entrepreneur Angela Yee has moved to Nest Seekers International from SERHANT., Nest Seekers has revealed to Inman.
Yee is best known for her role in co-founding and co-hosting the beloved New York City-based morning radio show, The Breakfast Club. She appeared on The Breakfast Club from 2010 to 2022. The show still airs today on 105.1 FM and is hosted by DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Charlamagne Tha God.
In 2020, Yee was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame and launched her own show, Way Up with Angela Yee in 2023.

A relative newcomer to the brokerage world, Yee’s first formal brokerage affiliation was with SERHANT., which she joined about one year ago. She has a history of owning investment properties, from long-term rentals to Airbnbs, which span from New York City to Detroit.
SERHANT. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Yee’s foray into real estate has been entwined with a service mentality geared toward social responsibility.
“Real estate is not just about transactions; it’s about transformation,” Yee said in a statement. “Through purpose-driven real estate, I aim to create opportunities, build community and inspire others to see property ownership as a pathway to legacy wealth.”

In 2023, Yee bought a 30-unit residential building in Detroit and designated one-third of the units to house formerly incarcerated women. She also hosts an investors club called Wealth Wednesdays Real Estate Club, which is focused on educating individuals, particularly from underrepresented communities, on how to build generational wealth through real estate.
In addition to her real estate business, Yee also co-owns a coffee shop, Coffee Uplifts People (CUP), in Brooklyn. She also serves on the boards of the We Are Family Foundation and the American Foundation for the University of the West Indies.
“Angela’s innovative mindset, entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to community empowerment make her a perfect fit for New Seekers,” Nest Seekers International founder and CEO Eddie Shapiro said in a statement. “She represents the future of real estate — where business success and social impact go hand in hand.”
