MDLNY Fredrik Eklund is Highkicking It Outta NYC

 

Fredrik Eklund has announced that he is leaving Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York and its Los Angeles spin-off.

 

 

The former gay porn star helped launch the series with its New York debut in 2012. But the real estate agent, known for creating tons of real estate TV drama with competing brokers Ryan Serhant and Luis Ortiz, announced his departure in a lengthy post on Instagram late last night.

 

Eklund kicked off the show in 2012. He said the show has been “like elevated therapy to film and then watch my crazy self (the good, the bad, the ugly.) I got to be myself even when it was difficult.”. Eklund credited the show with giving him “superpowers and became the engine in building what has become the nation’s largest and most prolific team that reached $4.5 billion in 2021. I have the show to thank for a lot of it.” . 

 

It's probably worth noting that Mauricio Umanski's The Agency, and countless other brokers make the same claim, but in the real estate industry, the term "Largest Selling" has become very subjective ... sort of like "Voted Best Buffet in Las Vegas!".
