Fredrik Eklund, the renowned real estate agent and star of “Million Dollar Listing,” has sold his Beverly Hills home for just under $10 million. Eklund, who moved to Los Angeles in 2019, had purchased the seven-bedroom property and, along with his husband Derek Kaplan, transformed it into a stunning residence. The couple decided to rent out the house in July 2023 as they relocated to Miami with their children, Milla and Freddy Jr.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on June 4, Eklund shared his mixed emotions about the sale. He reflected on the “beautiful memories” his family created in the home, posting numerous photos showcasing the renovations they had done. “What a bittersweet day. Today we closed on our house in Beverly Hills and I have mixed emotions but mostly grateful,” Eklund wrote. He reminisced about the early days of renovation, filled with love and potential, and expressed his happiness for the new owner.
The move to Miami, while exciting, was not without its challenges. In an August 2023 Instagram update, Eklund described the relocation as “overwhelming.” He shared that Derek had been back in LA overseeing the move of their furniture to their house in Connecticut, leaving Eklund to manage the first week in Miami and the kids’ new school alone. Despite the difficulties, Eklund found joy in the new experiences, such as sending the kids off to school in their uniforms and enjoying the tropical heat and local attractions.
Eklund’s Beverly Hills home sale marks a significant chapter in his life, but it is not the only major real estate news involving the star. He and fellow “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Josh Altman have teamed up to sell a nearly $28 million house in the exclusive Beverly Park community. The collaboration comes after the two real estate moguls buried the hatchet following a dispute over Eklund’s move to the West Coast.
The Beverly Park property, listed with Douglas Elliman, boasts six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms within its 13,500 square feet of living space. The Colonial-styled residence features exceptional quality and design, including a great room, formal living and dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen, an opulent office, a home theater with a wet bar, and a fully-equipped fitness center with a steam room and sauna. The master bedroom includes a spacious lounge area with dual bathrooms and two massive custom closets. The outdoor area is perfect for entertaining, with a sparkling pool, manicured gardens, an outdoor kitchen, a gazebo, and a fountain.
Eklund expressed his excitement about working with Altman on such a spectacular listing. “Coming to LA, I was excited to work with Josh so I’m happy that we’ve cleared the air and come together on such a spectacular listing,” Eklund told PEOPLE. He described the property as the “quintessential LA estate,” complete with privacy, water features, and a massive pool.
The collaboration between Eklund and Altman is a testament to their professional growth and ability to put past differences aside for the sake of business. Altman had previously teased the partnership during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” highlighting the unique styles and strengths they bring to the table.
Eklund’s move to Los Angeles and subsequent relocation to Miami have been well-documented on “Million Dollar Listing,” showcasing the challenges and triumphs of his cross-country transitions. Despite the ups and downs, Eklund continues to thrive in the real estate world, making significant deals and creating lasting memories with his family.
As Eklund settles into his new life in Miami, he remains grateful for the experiences and opportunities that have come his way. The sale of his Beverly Hills home may be bittersweet, but it marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with potential and promise.
