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 making sure that you take 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 the relevance of its message.

At the core of this platform, it is believed 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 those who want to create impressions that last a lifetime:
