STEPHEN SHAPIRO
Westside Estate Agency
Shapiro has worked in the prime Los Angeles real estate market for over 40 years. Originally from Philadelphia, Shapiro relocated to Los Angeles in 1969 and started his first real estate company by thinking outside the box and offering potential renters photo and video tours of apartments, rather than the typical newspaper advertisement. This trend caught on and Shapiro’s success helped him transition from the leasing market into the luxury sales sector. In 1999 he left his previous firm to partner with Kurt Rappaport and created Westside Estate Agency, which has now grown to be the number one luxury real estate agency in Los Angeles and one of the top agencies in the country.
An expert in nine-digit price points and the histories behind the iconic estates he deals in, Shapiro is a legend among legends of the local real estate elite.
