Born and raised in Sweden, Fredrik Eklund came to America in his early 20s after dropping out of business school. He got by living in a one-room apartment with two roommates, selling food to tourists before earning his real estate license.

During his first year in the business, he sold more than $50 million worth of property. Today, he’s a staple of New York City real estate scene, beloved for his colorful personality and his signature high kick.

A top broker at Douglas Elliman and co-founder of the Eklund Gomes Team, Eklund is known as Manhattan’s “Broker to the Stars,” selling luxury penthouse apartments and mega-mansions to many of Hollywood and the music industry’s biggest names.

Eklund is also the star of the Emmy Award-nominated Bravo TV hit show, Million Dollar Listing New York.
