Bravo’s hit real estate reality TV show, Million Dollar Listing New York, is back with a new season and we couldn’t be more excited!
Personally, I can’t wait to see what our favorite high-kicker, Fredrik Eklund, has got up under his sleeve. He has since been quite busy co-managing their real estate brokerage’s physical presence in four states: New York, Florida, Los Angeles, and more recently Texas.
Though whichever way MDLNY chooses to highlight the many challenges and high pressure of being a mega-successful broker, only the surest thing sticks to me. The Swede’s real estate prowess and entertaining one-liners not only make for great TV, but he also inspires hundreds of thousands of professionals to level up their game consistently.
In fact, the now L.A.-based real estate broker, husband, and father of twins, has written a book about exactly how he did it. In his book The Sell: The Secrets of Selling Anything to Anyone, Fredrik wrote about his success secrets on crushing it in real estate and in life.
From being social media savvy, and of course, to taking control of people’s impressions of you, the master salesman clearly walks the talk. The book became a bestseller and has received rave reviews, thanks to the authenticity and relevance of its message.

At the core of our platform, we believe that to achieve success, one must understand the art of finesse and use it to upgrade their mindset and their image. And so we’re recounting some of the best Fredrik Eklund quotes about presence—to inspire you to start creating impressions that last a lifetime:
When it comes to social media, always be authentic to who you are and stay true to your real self. And don’t be scared to share it with the world.
Whether you’re selling cars or writing a blog, working in advertising or hawking hot dogs, you are your brand and your product. Never forget that.
Being a good broker, I’m a perfectionist. Everything has to be perfect, that’s why my listings sell.
I believe that the first thirty seconds of meeting someone sets the tone for the rest of your time together, whether that ends up being five minutes or fifty years.
I just wanna put on a nice suit, a perfect white shirt, a silver tie, feel like I’m back in the game, and start negotiating.
Listening is one of the most important skills you can use when there is something you are trying to achieve. Whether you’re negotiating your salary, the purchase of a car, or resolving a dispute with a coworker, active listening is critical for your success.
I’m the closer and a listing machine. What makes me better is that I work harder than anybody else.
Stop comparing yourself to others and realize that while you may not have the same things others have to offer, what you do have to offer—you—is enough. You just need to figure out who you are and play to your strengths.
You must know in your heart that you will succeed – or even more important, that you have already succeeded but can always be better.
I enter the room with great energy. First impression lasts. I establish confidence and control.
