Fredrik Eklund‘s career is soaring higher than a NYC skyscraper. The Million Dollar Lising: New York star has had a meteoric month which included moving to a new apartment, buying a country home, wrapping filming for season 5, and doing one of biggest deals of his career. Whew – and I thought I was busy … HA!
Somewhere… Ryan Serhant is bashing his head against a wall… (sarcasm) while Fredrik is high kicking all the way to the bank!
Last year Fredrik and his husband Derek Kaplan had several ups and downs and apparently decided it was time for new beginnings.

After traveling to London to spend time with Derek’s son Kai – and wrap filming on the upcoming season of MDLNY – Fredrik and Derek returned to NY to complete the purchase of a home in Connecticut, begin moving to a new apartment in Manhattan, and still leave Fredrik time to sell a $32 million dollar pad, making it the biggest residential sale in NYC last week! Surely Bravo cameras started rolling again to capture that!!! (unless they have the same film crew as Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills which never manages to capture the good stuff!).

“Thank you London for one of the best weeks of my life! It was really true magic, and very emotional in the best of ways,” Fredrik shared about his trip to London. “But… and as expected… it was difficult (impossible) to say goodbye to little Kai growing up so quickly, too quickly… But he’s an angel and I’m just proud to be the extra papa.”
Fredrik added, “We wrapped filming #mdlny yesterday up here in the massive ferris-wheel called the ‘London Eye,’ and the rain finally and suddenly came out as I said goodbye to the crew to go back to NYC. You grow so fond of each other when you work THIS closely with such amazing and talented people. “

“I’m excited to share with you all that Derek and I have bought a house in Connecticut. Here she is! We are so happy!!!! We haven’t been able to sleep here in London in excitement. She’s really big, she’s a classic Georgian dream house with long vistas over the Litchfield hills and 8 acres of land, our land! She comes with a movie-cinema, a wine-cellar, a pond full of fish, an infinity pool and massive woods for the dogs to run in!”
MILLION DOLLAR LISTING RETURNS APRIL 21ST!
Despite needing a place to grab a green tea latte every 15 seconds, Fredrik is apparently a country boy at heart… “Ever since I was a little boy I’ve dreamed of this – and just 90 minutes from Manhattan. I actually got tears in my eyes the first time I entered the master suite… I can’t really describe it,” he added about his new home. “Anyway, it means so much to me as I have worked so hard, and I feel thankful and happy today for this dream come true. Tonight we will celebrate with our families. #NewBeginning”
The other new beginning, is Fredrik and Derek will also be residing in a brand-new Manhattan apartment! Holy real estate porn, Batman.
“It was fun! I can’t believe we’re moving out of here shortly and leaving this view behind. The memories, I’m so thankful, and I hope you have enjoyed the photos of the city skyline too… I’ll miss this northern view the most, of the Empire State Building, the green park below and the massive illuminated clock right outside,” revealed Fredrik. “The city and its seasons coming alive to me in an entirely new way. But our new apartment on the river is finally done and we are so excited for a #NewBeginning and so is Mini and Fritzy” [Credit: Instagram]
And finally, with all those houses to buy, Fredrik is doing what he does best – sell, sell, sell (other people’s houses)!
“It’s official: I did the biggest deal in all of New York last week,” exclaimed Fredrik. “432 Park, 66B at $32.5M. High-kick!” [Credit: Instagram]
All I can say is: WHOA. What a month. I’d be in a coma after all that whirlwind.
