Early Life
Born on 2nd July 1984, in Houston, Texas, he was raised in Topsfield, Massachusetts, along with his brother. His father worked as a Vice Chairman of the Street Global Advisors and had a huge influence on his upbringing that shaped his career as an entrepreneur. From his childhood, his father taught his brother the value of hard work and paid them $1.50 an hour to collect firewood.
Ryan went to the Pingree School located in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, and started taking an interest in Theatre Arts. His love for the arts made him join the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp.
After graduating from high school, he attended Hamilton College and joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, graduating in 2006 in Theatre and English Literature. He then moved to New York City to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor.
Beginning of Career
After stepping into the acting and modelling world, he got his first major role in the movie “As the World Turns” in 2007. He also got featured in some other movies, but his career as an actor didn’t quite take off, and he started focussing on his real estate career in 2008.
When he stepped into this field, the world was facing a financial crisis, and precisely the real estate business was facing chaos. His first year was comparatively challenging, and he could only manage to make $9000 in commission, but he refused to give up and decided to put in extra efforts, and made his first huge sale of a property of $8.5 million.
This officially marked the beginning of his successful career as a real estate broker and made him the Managing Director and Executive Vice President of Nest Seekers. He founded a Serhant team in 2012 and opened offices in multiple locations, like Miami, New Jersey, New York City, and Los Angeles. His team was named as #1 sales team in New York for 3 years. He then went onto establish his own company, SERHANT, in 2020 and made monthly sales of $100 million.
His successful career as a real estate broker also helped him revive his acting career and appear in films and TV shows like “Withdrawal,” “While We’re Young,” “Betheny,” and “The Mysteries of Laura.” He also produced and launched the Bravo Television Show “Sell It Like Serhant” in 2017. He regularly appears on ABC, NBC, CNN, and CNBC.
Shot to Fame
While he was actively working as real-estate broker and exploring acting opportunities, he got his rise to fame by getting casted in “Million Dollar Listing New York,” a Bravo’s reality TV series. This show made him a known face amongst people, and his charisma made people appreciate him.
