"D now, bam!" "This season on Million Dollar Listing New York." "Sh...!" "Dude this looks so f... ing good!" "It's 100 feet long." "That's what all the men say to me." "Hold on a second, take your pants off!" "My God!" "What are you thinking on price?" "17point5." "16 million." "400 million." "Yes!" "You have yourself a deal." "I knew it." "Congratulations." "Yes!" "You want me to sell a house like every other day." "That's what you're getting paid for." "Why are you crying over this sh... bro?" "If this was just some kind of dupe to get us in the door, we're gonna have to go elsewhere." "Luis!" "This is like the old times!" "I am moving to Paris." "What you're saying doesn't make any sense." "You have to have a plan." "Don't leave." "So babe, it's that time again." "The embryos." "I'm just gonna let go of control." "I want to launch in Paris." "I haven't been to Paris since my old modeling days." "Paris!" "Yes!" "Yeah?" "It's a little difficult working with other brokers." "'Cause you like to be in control of everything." "I want to kind of pass the project onto you." "There's just things that I have to really figure out." "It feels like something's missing." "I'm a real estate angel." "Everything I touch, turns to sold." "New York City, it's all about style." "My business is about performing, not conforming." "I'm married now, but my business motto will never change." "Expansion." "Always in all ways." "It's not shady." "It's very shady." "It's business, Fredrik." "It's my developer!" "When did you become such a whiner." "Am I in drive?" "Yes, I'm in drive." "It's such a different experience." "I am driving because Yuriy is on vacation." "Here we go." "Great." "I am very-I'm okay with it." "I'm not okay with it." "Hey sweater vest, why don't you ride your bike in the actual bike lane?" "That's why they have bike lanes!" "There's so many people!" "Get out of my way!" "Did I just go through a red light?" "Driving in New York City... is for sadomasochists." "Yuriy is never going away on vacation ever again." "This is Ryan." "Hey Chuck, how are you?" "For-for what?" "47th Street?" "47th Street is my newest listing." "It's a smaller apartment in midtown." "And it's priced at two and a quarter million dollars." "It just sounds so small." "I've been feeling stuck on work recently." "Kind of like everyday is Groundhog's Day." "I went and saw my therapist, who told me to take a step back." "How does it feel?" "Weird as sh..." "This is not even you, you love to work." "Maybe you just need a little reset." "So I decided to take on a smaller listing." "And I'm glad I did because the seller," "John is actually really fun." "This is a party bathroom, use your imagination." "Even if he wants more money than any other comparable sell in the building in the history of ever." "What?" "Also, John's the one who secretly took out all the furniture and didn't even tell me." "And that makes it kind of hard to get over ask." "That's a full ask offer." "Good work." "Send it over to me and I'll present it." "But the seller is looking for over the asking price and we priced it aggressively to get more." "I will submit it and I will keep you posted." "All right, see ya." "Hello?" "Ryan!" "Hey!" "How you doing?" "Yep." "I'm turning 40." "So if I did something, would you come?" "Of course." "Where are we going for your birthday?" "Paris, France?" "Yes!" "Really?" "Really?" "Like when people ask me to go to the Upper West Side for a birthday party, I really have to think about it." "Got it." "Got it, lucky number 40." "When I'm your age I'll have to do something special too but that's so far from now." "All right, I'll check with her." "I'll get back to you." "All right." "Bye." "Paris." "I can't go to Paris, I can't even get across 10th Avenue." "Let's go!" "I love Paris." "I mean there is no better place for me to celebrate my 40th birthday." "However, there's not going to be any celebration if I don't get the sales that I need for my new project, 75 Kenmare." "We are priced rich." "We got to do something different." "If I send you to Paris, I want you to get 25% sold." "Fredrik?" "Yes, hi love." "How are you?" "I'm really excited, they're all waiting." "They're outside?" "They're outside." "As soon as I landed, I started texting, calling, emailing, every Parisian broker." "It's me, Fredrik." "There's a huge party." "Yes!" "Okay, I'll see you there." "The problem is, I did too good." "I mean it was a hot mess." "I got 1,000 RSVPs." "When you have a new building designed by a celebrity like Lenny Kravitz, the issue is that a lot of people might just want to attend the party without even wanting to buy." "So I did something completely crazy and very last minute." "But what I think was smart, I cancelled everything." "This is what we're going to do, call Knight Frank, just disinvite everybody." "I cancelled the entire party, the venue." "And instead invited only the top, top, top, top VIP brokers." "Welcome!" "Hello!" "Fredrik Eklund, good to meet you." "Hi, hi." "Nice to meet you." "Hi gorgeous." "Hi handsome." "These aren't just top executives from Paris." "These are top executives from Monaco," "Warsaw, London, from Moscow." "They have the richest clients in the world, trust me on this one." "First of all, I wanted to congratulate all of you because there were a lot of people that wanted come here." "This is a very, very special project that I worked on for years." "It's located in NoLita." "The facade is designed by Kikoski, he recently worked at the Guggenheim Museum." "And then of course, the interiors is Mr. Kravitz himself." "It's very artsy." "If you look at the finishes, if you look at the kitchen, the bathroom, they're gorgeous." "The stone, the wood, you know the big ceiling heights, the beautiful big windows." "We have a 24hour doorman." "We have a beautiful gym, we have a beautiful roof deck." "But best of all, parking." "Parking spaces in New York, they go to a million dollars each." "Here, 165 parking spots." "1.7 million, you get a beautiful one bedroom and then it goes up to 15.5 million for the top penthouse which is massive." "What's the delivery time on these units?" "We're looking between 16 to 20 months right now." "Interesting." "And what's the price per square foot?" "We range." "We start around 26, 2700 a foot and up to 5,000 for the penthouse." "5,000 per square foot, that's quite expensive for New York isn't it?" "I mean if you want to buy the best, have the best investment, live in the best area, the best building, best amenities, you're gonna have to pay for it." "She likes storage, she has a lot of clothing, may be she's like a beautiful" "Hi how are you?" "Excuse me." "Can I talk to you?" "Right now?" "Sure." "How's it going?" "I think it's really good." "I'm getting a lot of good feedback." "This is so small, I thought you said there were gonna be 100 people here." "Well to get a sale, you have to get people excited." "We're going through all this trouble to have hundreds of people here." "I hope this is going to work." "Let me clarify something." "In this room, there's actually 30,000 brokers." "Like him right here, he has a team, he runs an office." "He's going to write an email to all the employees saying, "My God this building."" "But I need to be with him to convince him." "Okay listen, go sell then." "Okay well you go there, I go this way." "Anyway, what I was saying to you guys is there is no other building like this and you have to be fast." "I still think it was the right decision to make this launch smaller in Paris." "Now he wants me to sell 25% of the building." "That's nine units out of the thirtyeight, in less than a week." "If I don't get the sales that I need, then he's gonna look at me and say," ""You made the wrong decision."" "All fingers are going to be pointing at me so I have to make those sales." "I just have to, there is no other way." "Coming up." "You're taking a risk." "You might lose these people." "I'm willing to take the risk." "Papi!" "Luis?" "There he is!" "Did you miss New York?" "Bienvenue à Paris." "It's amazing to be back in this beautiful city." "I have all these old places I want to revisit, but let's first get down to business." "It's a good market." "It's not as it used to be where everything flew off the shelf." "But as a really good deal maker, there's product out there, there's buyers, all I need to do is connect the dots, that's my job." "Steve." "Steve came!" "What's up?" "When did you arrive?" "I mean I knew he said he was gonna come but I," "I didn't think he was actually going to come to Paris." "Looks amazing." "Yes." "As I knew it would." "I always say it's much better to do curated selection." "Yes." "I'm so happy you say that because I want only the top people." "That's why I travelled all the way here for you." "That's a lot of hair." "I forgot my tie in customs, they took it." "They didn't." "Yeah." "Honey, they did not take your tie." "Honestly, I don't think Steve Gold owns any ties." "This is one of my favorites, the FLine." "What's the difference between three, four and five on this?" "200,000." "Each floor?" "It's so beautiful because it's a double corner." "You see the Empire State Building." "That's sick." "My buyer, he's a young finance guy." "He's lived in NoLita the last four years, been renting." "So he fits perfectly in this building." "Designed by Lenny Kravtiz, sexy, there's a garage." "When you get me an offer, let's have lunch." "Send it to my hotel, and I'll look at it tonight." "Okay everyone's here, talk around." "I'm gonna mingle." "That's Dan, my developer." "I'll say hello." "Okay cool." "I'm glad you came!" "I'm happy for you, man." "Thanks." "All right." "Hello." "How are you?" "Steve Gold." "Hey nice to see you." "Dan, nice to see you." "The project looks great." "Thank you, yeah." "I'm really excited about this one." "I actually came all the way from New York." "It's something I really believe in," "I think you did a great job." "I think Lenny did a great job." "Do you think we pitched it right?" "I think Fredrik's doing an excellent job." "I've never worked with Dan directly but you know, he's a pretty big developer in the city." "Has a lot of great projects you know, with a lot of great build outs and a really good reputation." "Are you primarily building downtown or are you" "We'll go to any good neighborhood in New York." "Actually my next project is on the upper West Side." "Nice." "Yeah." "I have a huge listing I bring on at 1 Riverside." "Our site's on Broadway." "I got a lot of clients, you know, on the upper West Side." "We should get lunch sometime, maybe." "You know?" "Okay." "A terrace is everything." "You want a terrace right?" "So I'll have my assistant reach out to schedule a lunch." "It was really great to meet you." "All right, see you Dan." "Thank you." "How are you?" "I am basically on time." "Showing John's place has been super busy lately." "I've done dozens of showings to older buyers." "It's in a nice residential part of the center of the city, Midtown." "I wonder if this is what it's like in my Miami office." "So I found a couple that really likes the apartment." "And I think you're going to be very, very happy to know that they're making an all cash, full ask offer." "Two and a quarter, done." "I'm pretty excited." "The last time we had a conversation about pricing, the ask was an incitement to create interest." "I want to attract the most interest." "Maybe we'll get a bidding war." "Correct." "I've been doing my best to get a bidding war going as I said I would." "I've been doing lots of showings," "I've been scouring the entire city to find the perfect type of buyer, especially an older buyer, which has brought me to some very interesting locations." "Have you ever thought about moving into the city?" "I've shown the apartment to a lot of people." "And these people actually thought the apartment was worth closer to two." "And I had to beat them up to get them to two and a quarter." "If these people want the apartment, they can have the apartment." "All they have to do is write a check for 2point4." "It's hard negotiating with older clients." "When they walk to school in eight miles of snow with like wolves and giraffes chasing them." "They don't want to hear excuses." "This was supposed to be the easy one, like the easy listing." "You know, I was gonna have some fun with it." "That never happens!" "You know why?" "'Cause that's not real life!" "You're taking a risk because we might lose these people and then we might not get anyone else, ever." "Well, here's how I feel about risk." "Risk has its rewards, I'm willing to take the risk." "Okay." "You're right." "Let me call them." "Financially speaking, I don't love John's decision." "But I respect it, he loves his home and he's gonna fight for the best price for it." "Good you have a minute?" "I do." "But this is just like a very awkward phone call." "So basically, I made a mistake," "I underpriced it at two and a quarter." "Yes." "We under priced it at two and a quarter." "We've had a lot of interest from people just like your clients." "I think I can get a deal done at around 2.5." "No, not really." "So I can understand." "I can understand that you're confused." "The seller will no longer sell it at two and a quarter." "The seller wants something near 2point5." "Listen, this guy is technically right." "I'm getting them to negotiate basically against themselves." "And if I was in his shoes," "I'd probably be doing the same thing." "But I'm not in his shoes." "So if you can get your clients to come up," "I'm with my seller right now and" "You don't even want to talk to your clients?" "He took that well." "You know what?" "I can't do this." "I do respect John for taking this risk." "I mean this is the only buyer we have." "But he believes in his price and he believes in his place." "I can't help think about my life and my business right now." "I think I used to take more risk than I do now." "Because I used to have a lot less responsibility." "And there's something thrilling about being able to live that way." "Let's do this." "Yeah, one thing I forgot to say before." "So how long you been showing them apartments." "Two days?" "Two months?" "Really?" "Because when we were there he said that they've been looking for maybe six months or so." "And now you as their broker" "No, no, no, hey, hey, hey." "You got to speak before." "No this is Ryan's time okay?" "This is Serhant time." "If he's going to come after me then I'm gonna go after him." "You listen to me mother... er." "This is what we're doing, you're gonna go back to your clients and you're going to tell them that they just lost the greatest apartment in the history of the world over a couple hundred thousand dollars" "that they've been looking for for over six months and it's all your fault." "And this is what you're going to do, you're going to pick up the phone and then you're gonna call me back and you're gonna tell me how you feel." "And then guess what?" "Guess what?" "You and I, were never going to do a deal again, ever." "Ever, all right?" "That's what you're going to remember from this phone call." "If they want to come up, you know how to reach me." "Otherwise, never call me again." "Damn that f... ing felt good." "Coming up." "Please, please, tell me you're joking because it's a very bad joke." "You saw me calling him" "Call him yourself." "Would you like something to drink?" "Bonjour!" "Hi!" "Fredrik!" "Hey it's good to see you again." "Fredrik." "Hi!" "How are you?" "My launch was a megasuccess." "I've been getting phone calls over and over and over again from high power, executive brokers." "And they're all telling me that they have buyers that want to buy in my building." "So what can I do for you?" "3E!" "My client, she works in fashion, and it's the penthouse, the one in the middle that she really wants." "Ooh la la." "Ooh la la indeed." "6.5 million." "He will take it, but at 6point3." "No." "No, no, no." "3,525,000 is that a full ask offer?" "No actually the offer is 3point2." "That's not going to work." "Her budget for this was actually only 8 million." "And that's really the final offer." "Well she can buy everything but the penthouse." "I mean I think 6F is a really good one." "The discount itself is that I came to you guys first." "Why would I negotiate in the very beginning?" "There are so many amazing developments in Manhattan as well." "Designed by Kravitz with parking, I don't think so." "I'm offering 4,000 a foot for this place and that's a high offer, even for Manhattan, right?" "We're asking 5,000 and I will get 5,000." "Ten million's a definite no." "Thank you anyway." "That's it?" "You're just going to walk away?" "Bye!" "I'm not trying to broke you." "Very soon, later today, probably in 15 minutes, that one will be gone." "So if I were you, I would call him right now, let's do it." "Maybe you can meet me half way." "5% discounts." "It's a no." "Do you understand?" "It's like it's now or nothing." "So let's do the deal, 295full ask." "I guess you give me no choice," "I should call my client." "What is he saying?" "So he agrees." "Excuse me?" "Yeah." "Full ask?" "Yes." "Yes!" "He's pretty reluctant but he agrees." "Reluctantly rich!" "He's gonna get rich!" "Voila!" "My first deal is done in Paris." "He will take it." "295." "Deal done, yes." "Deal done, yes." "Wait, I'm sorry, no more real estate." "It's everything!" "It's perfection!" "Eklund perfection!" "Magnifique!" "You listen to me mother... er!" "If they want to come up, you know how to reach me." "Otherwise, never call me again." "Hey!" "Hey." "I called him, to say it lightly." "I did what I could." "We'll see, I don't know what to tell you." "Well, anything is worth a try." "Yeah I used to believe that." "Why do you mean you used to believe that?" "You know, very busy and selling homes every single day and it kind of seems like everyday is the same." "I don't know why I'm opening up to you right now but." "Sometimes in life, if you really want to feel better about the direction you're going, screw it, take a risk, and it has a reward." "What's the reward?" "That's" "No way." "So this is the broker." "You want to see?" "Watch him yell at me." "Ready?" "This is the answer to your risk." "This is Ryan." "Same conditions though?" "All cash?" "Hold on quick for one second." "Whoa." "That's 2point4." "Do you want to do the deal?" "We're gonna do the deal." "We have a deal." "Yes!" "Yes!" "And you're a good broker." "I said some things before, but you are a good broker." "It worked!" "He took a risk and it worked and it paid off and he got exactly what he wanted." "How did you know?" "I don't understand." "Risks has its rewards." "John's right." "This is what's been wrong with me." "My therapist advised to take a step back." "Might be great advice for a lot of people, but not for me." "My problem isn't that I'm busy, it's that I'm not taking enough risks like I used to when I first got into the business." "And I need to go back to what it felt like when I was up against a wall." "I need to go for broke every single day." "And I have no idea what I should do." "But I know I need to do something and it's got to be big." "Thank you." "Thank you." "This has been a wonderful experience for me." "Me too!" "Maybe more so for me." "Paris is so beautiful right now." "I mean, that's what I heard somebody say in the lobby at my hotel 'cause I wouldn't know because" "I have been laser focused on selling 75 Kenmare." "No, no, no, no, no I don't think you understand." "I am trying to do you a favor by selling you this apartment." "1695 is asking price." "And I'm not talking euros, I'm talking US dollars." "I sold three units in my first round negotiations and since then I sold two more units." "I mean it feels really good because five units only four units from my goal of nine units." "I'm over half way there." "I can do this, I can do this, I really think I can do this." "Hi Steve." "What's going on, buddy?" "Bonjour!" "How are you?" "Good to see you." "Good to see you, buddy." "I've been talking to my buyers and they love the finishes, they love the layout." "But they're a little nervous about buying so early." "So I want to try to get them a little something." "You're coming to my birthday party right?" "I told you I would be there." "I wouldn't miss you going over the hill for anything." "Whatever with you." "Trust me, I'm just getting started, this is Fredrik 2.0." "Yeah?" "Yeah watch me." "I'm on 3.0 Steve Gold 3.0." "Well then I'm on 3.5 because I'm ahead." "Actually I'm on 3.6." "Okay so is that your offer?" "3.6 what unit?" "The only unit they want is the Flot, and they want it on the fourth floor." "You're a really good broker, that is probably, arguably one of the best units especially for that price, 385." "Correct." "So they've said to me I can present a full ask offer." "However, transfers are 70,000." "You're going to have to get the sponsor to pay the transfer taxes." "And why is that?" "Because that's the deal, Fredrik." "No that's the deal that your buyer wants." "I mean" "No that's the deal we have to make." "You know, in New York, we have state and city transfer taxes and they equal 1.825% together." "Generally, that's something that's paid for by the seller." "In new development, the developer, often tries to get that transfer tax to be paid for by the buyer." "Transfer taxes have to be paid for." "But they're not going to be paid for." "Let me text him." "Make it happen." "Thank you." "Merci beuacoup." "Hold on." "Okay, the best and final, the best he will do is to split the transfer taxes." "35,000 dollars each." "I know my buyer, his offer is his offer." "You saw me calling him, now let's call yours." "Let's do it." "You think you know your buyer, you never know, last minute, last day." "Calm yourself." "Let me text him." "What are you gonna do the next couple days?" "I actually have a lunch with Dan tomorrow." "Um" "What?" "Dan Hollander my developer?" "It's about a new project." "It's not about Kenmare, of course I wouldn't talk to him about Kenmare." "You're the agent for that." "Please, please tell me you're joking." "'Cause it's a very bad joke." "Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight." "I invite him to Paris, he comes to Paris as the only New York broker." "He then takes a lunch with my developer!" "?" "What?" "Coming up." "I have this crazy idea." "But it's going to effect your life too." "Steve, please, please tell me you're joking." "'Cause it's a very bad joke." "You would not come to Paris, go to my launch, to meet my developer." "Is he yours?" "You own him?" "I did 50 Clinton with him." "I programmed 75 Kenmare!" "We're talking about six years and then you're saying" ""I'm having lunch."" "There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing." "What's the problem?" "This is like normal business." "He does it all the time." "We all go after the same listings, we compete." "Dan has another project that Fredrik's not even selling in Greenwich Village right now." "He's worked with other people too." "He worked with Leonard on the 13th Street project" "That was before I met him!" "Calm down, Fredrik." "No I'm not going to- This is who I am." "This is my life, I devoted my life to this." "Don't you understand?" "I devote my life to this too." "You're not the only f... ing person in New York City." "There's so many other developers." "What are you doing right now?" "Fredrik, don't be ridiculous." "You don't own New York City." "You don't own Dan." "I'm having lunch, that is normal." "And it's a scumbag move and I don't like it." "It is not scumbag." "Is it Broadway uptown that I've been talking to you- is ch-is it West Chelsea?" "Which one is it?" "Tell me which address 'cause you know," "I'm talking to him too and he is my developer." "Don't be this person that is all high and mighty when you have done the same thing." "This is business, this is New York City, this is normal." "Don't f... ing get it twisted." "Then you don't know me, then you're not my friend." "I do not steal developers." "You didn't just sign an exclusive with that one I was pitching?" "That penthouse at Grennwich Lane, you wouldn't do that?" "We have the same f... ing clients!" "Unknown to me." "We have the same f... ing clients." "This is not happening, you are insane." "I'm not insane, I'm actually quite sane." "You're insane, Fredrik." "It is not how you do it." "I'm starting to lose respect for you now, man." "When did you become such a whiner?" "What I care about is my business." "You don't understand." "Nobody understands." "It's who I am in here and I can't" "I can't be anything else than I am." "Are you gonna cry?" "I don't care anymore, I don't care about anybody." "You're gonna freakin' cry?" "Like be confident!" "Be like "Go have lunch with him, I know I got it."" "That's how I would be." "I'm lost." "I mean I don't know what the f... is happening." "You are being dramatic, Fredrik." "So stop being" "I'm gonna leave now." "So stop being so dramatic." "And just chill out." "I don't need this." "Actually Fredrik, Fredrik!" "What?" "We got a deal on 4F." "Send the term sheet." "So what's happening?" "So listen, I have um." "I have this crazy idea." "And I've been thinking about it a lot." "About what like what makes me happy." "Right?" "Right." "It's not just selling apartments, it's building business, it's building the team." "We've done a significant amount of volume in Brooklyn this year." "And there's a brokerage out there called Online Homes." "Yes." "That I want to buy." "You want to buy a brokerage." "I think so." "I want to own something." "Since my conversation with John, I've been thinking about something like this a lot." "So I looked up a lot of different brokerages and this one in Brooklyn seems to be the perfect fit." "But it's a lot of money, it's a lot of risk." "Like, Nestseekers isn't paying for that." "So if I want to expand my team in Brooklyn by buying out another brokerage, and absorbing all of their best players into my team, that's my money and there's no safety net there." "How big is this team?" "They're like thirty." "And you would run it entirely on your own?" "I mean we'd absorb them into the Serhant team and that would exponentially grow us into Brooklyn without having to do it agent by agent by agent." "And this is something that bigger companies do all the time, I just never" "I just never thought I could do it." "It's going to cost a lot of money." "Like a couple million bucks." "But it would be mine." "And then where does it go from there?" "If we buy them, then we just keep buying, and then we get bigger and bigger and bigger." "And then we go nationwide, and that's the goal." "My business in LA is growing so incredibly fast." "My business in Miami is blowing through the roof." "What I really want, is more." "I want to be able to go across country and see for sale signs with my name on it everywhere." "I mean it's going to take a lot of time, a lot of time and effort." "You tell me, what do you think?" "I think it's exciting." "It's going to be really tough." "Especially for me." "Why?" "I have to sacrifice more time with you and it's going to be hard." "It's gonna be tough." "And it's gonna be years of work." "So should I not do it." "You've never been happy just doing what everybody else does." "And that's part of the reason why I love you so much." "I think you should do it." "I think you should do it." "Ha!" "She said yes!" "Sh... now I have to buy this company!" "But you know what?" "It's good." "It's good." "Let's f... ing do this." "The most important thing is that we find time for each other." "Let's make time." "We're gonna do it, we'll make the time." "When was the last time you were in Paris?" "In Paris?" "Like Paris, France?" "I promise Fredrik that I would go to his birthday party." "We're actually on good terms now." "Well that's good to hear." "Yeah, very weird." "And he decided to have his birthday party in Paris." "We've never been there, I've never taken you to Paris." "And we make time, we make time, we grow, we build together, and we figure it out one step at a time." "I'll go to Paris with you." "Maybe I'll find us brokers there to buy." "Luis is there, we can have Luis run Serhant France." "I mean, don't get me wrong." "I am very, very happy I got the deal done for my buyer." "But other than that, Fredrik kind of screwed up my whole trip to Paris." "Hi." "Hey Jess." "How's it going in New York?" "Paris is beautiful." "But I'm determined not to let Fredrik get to me." "I've been doing everything I can to concentrate on my business back in New York." "Everyone's doing their job when the cat's away?" "I finally took Jess's advice and I started building my team." "Hey it's Bradley Cooper from Town how are you?" "Bradley Cooper is officially part of the Gold Group." "And I even called my old friend Ian and made him the same offer." "I'm blown away right now." "Yeah, thank you!" "I think I'm gonna grow a little bit." "Not huge." "You know, I see somewhere between six and ten being the sweet spot." "It's so nice to you know, have some people to support me and you know like have the team now." "I know I told Fredrik I'm gonna go to his birthday party but quite frankly, I'm out of here." "If he is going to accuse me of stealing his clients," "I'd much rather go back to New York and focus on my new team." "But first, I'm having that lunch with Dan." "Okay see you tomorrow, but don't let Brad sit in my chair." "I'm so happy you're here." "It's been very stressful." "Honestly I didn't mean to get so emotional with Steve." "I mean, I was angry at him but the tears, they weren't really about that." "I don't cry when I get angry." "Derek called me and said he has baby news." "But I told him just wait, wait, wait, whatever it is, give it to me here, in Paris." "Okay well I have some news." "Well I'm not sure I want to hear it." "I feel so vulnerable because it feels like it's almost like your heart." "Is out there." "It's like time is gonna stop." "Regardless, what he's gonna tell me, it's just gonna stop." "Coming up." "Five years ago, impossible that you will fly anywhere, you wouldn't even go to Tribeca just for his birthday." "I would go to Tribeca to jump in his pool." "I have some news." "Well I'm not sure I want to hear it." "What do you think of that?" "What is that?" "What does it say?" "Baby A." "Do you want to see Baby B?" "Are you sure?" "Yes, it's real, it's very real." "We're gonna be dads." "Wait so it's happening?" "It's happening right now." "We're gonna be dads!" "Yes!" "I feel like I've been running this marathon for forty years and I finally reached the goal." "He's kicking, you see the feet there?" "We're finally going to be daddies, finally." "Thank you." "Everybody said that one day when it would happen" "I would realize that it was suppose to be, but I never believed them but now you know, being here with you, in Paris, in the sunset." "Maybe this was what was supposed to happen." "Give us a kiss." "It's going to be Milla" "And Freddy Jr." "Are you happy with that?" "For the longest time people said to me that you know, you're successful, and you have so much success and congratulations." "And I never felt" "I never felt truly successful until this moment." "Thank you for taking the lead, wow." "I always want to remember this moment." "What time is it?" "I don't know, I'm on some weird New York time." "This is the Brooklyn deal." "What happened?" "I have to brainstorm, I don't know." "We've arrived." "I know I need to be excited because I'm here with Emilia and everything." "But I've been on the phone nonstop since I've landed with this brokerage company that I'm trying to buy and the deal is not okay." "Yeah so I just got your message when I got off the plane," "I've been in the air." "We basically had a done deal, which was super, super exciting." "And then a few of their top brokers have decided that maybe they don't want to come over." "Tell him that I'll give them a call tomorrow." "Let them know that the move is the best thing that he could possibly do for his career." "This is what happens every time you go away, which is why I try not to go away." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, it's not dead." "Nothing's ever dead, I will figure it out." "Um, I got to go see Luis and see Luis's apartment." "It's gonna be fun!" "27." "Papi!" "Luis!" "There he is!" "I'm here." "Okay, press the passcode, it's the year of the French Revolution." "I don't know the year of the French Revolution, okay." "There's an empty bottle of wine on this one, maybe this one is his." "Yes!" "Welcome." "Good to see you." "Good to see you, please." "I knew this was you." "Why?" "No reason." "Last time I saw Luis," "Fredrik and I were kind of like angry at him." "I know you, you love New York." "I'm just nervous that you don't think things through." "But I'm glad to see that he hasn't really held a grudge." "We acted that way because we actually cared." "Wow!" "Yeah, come." "Let me show you." "This is your apartment?" "!" "Yeah, look at this view." "This is crazy!" "You know, for picking up and quitting your entire life and moving to Paris, at least he does it in style." "I mean, this place is insane." "It's amazing, no?" "Your view looks fake by the way, like this looks fake." "It's like a mixture of new and old." "New kitchen, so everything's very, very modern, the way Luis is." "But it's also very like old and antiquey, the way his brain is." "He's an old soul like his floors." "It's the penthouse so it's 10point5 million." "10pont5 is actually-My God, what's happening?" "10.5 million is not a lot!" "I have so many other buyers here." "You have no idea, there's like hundreds and hundreds of buyers." "Everybody, they're all over me, they're surrounding me, they want me." "I mean they want the penthouse I mean." "Derek had the most amazing news for us and the sales are going great." "I mean, there's more deals, more deal sheets, more contracts." "And I have this one interested lead in one of the penthouses." "And I have been calling, calling, calling, calling, over, over, over." "How do you say that in French?" "No." "Okay whatever." "That's what I've been doing." "Well you're not listening to me, that's the problem." "However, this penthouse buyer is thinking it over and told me specifically to stop calling for a few hours." "I'm gonna go meet some important people to me." "Welcome." "You look amazing!" "We got Ryan here also!" "Yes!" "You came for my birthday!" "Happy Birthday!" "So come, can I offer you something?" "A beer?" "Water?" "A beer, we're in Paris." "The guys are having beer in Paris." "I love it." "Yup." "Luis's apartment is like a little dream." "Like a little Parisian penthouse dream." "It's like I can hear the French music coming in through the windows." "I love it." "Cheers." "I can't believe it." "I can't believe we're here." "Okay this right now, okay five years ago, impossible that you would fly anywhere!" "You wouldn't even go to Tribeca just for his birthday." "I would go to Tribeca to jump in his pool." "So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." "You seem like you're in a good mood though." "So like did you find what you're looking for?" "It's a nice place." "Listen, you know, the last time we saw each other it ended up a little awkward." "Because we care though." "I know, I know, I can see that." "Trust me, I thought about it many times." "Now you're here!" "You did it!" "And I did it, I did it all the way." "That takes balls, to pick up everything you had in New York and just come to Paris." "Yeah but um..." "Um..." "Coming up." "Bon anniversaire!" "Now I get to celebrate another milestone in my life." "Paris we love you!" "I don't want to bring this up." "F..." "I'm sorry, dude." "I keep putting this f... ing pressure on myself to try to find out what it is I want to do." "And I come to Paris, I leave everything behind, people think I'm crazy, you guys thought it was not a smart idea." "Then I come here and I f... ing hate it." "I'm crying all the time and it's stupid because I'm supposed to be the happiest man in the world, that's really who I am." "That's actually what I'm after." "But I'm not happy." "Even though I advised him not to move here." "It really hurts my heart to see him so sad, it does." "I was really hoping that he would say he's had the time of his life and that he's finding himself." "This is the truth, I've been here with this beautiful apartment and these beautiful views, and this beautiful city, and beautiful women, and beautiful wine." "This is the thing." "I sit down here and I say what the f... am I doing?" "Like where am I going?" "You know, if there is no goal or objective in your life there is no purpose for you to do anything." "I just don't think this is it and I think now you actually know that." "But it was something that you needed to do and had you not done it, you would've regretted it for the rest of your life." "For me to take a big risk with my life," "I mean I had to discuss it with Emilia," "I had to discuss it with my therapist." "And I had to be told to take a risk." "Luis, he just does it." "As Luis would say, "It takes cajones."" "That's Spanish for balls." "There is a beautiful thing about me moving to Paris because I've learned something." "You can't be happy if you're running around in circles and not going after something." "Yes." "The problem and the reason I've been so sad is because I cannot find that goal." "Um, come back and sell real estate." "That's option one, you can always come back and sell real estate." "Right?" "Yes." "F..., come back to us." "For now I know this," "Paris is not the place I should be in." "Check, done." "Check, done." "Bye Paris, yeah.." "And now come back, figure out what I want to do, get angry, but in a good way." "Angry." "Fight for it." "Angry like yes!" "Yes!" "Let's do it!" "I love you... both, I do." "Hug it out." "Stop!" "Hug it out." "Thank you." "This is my life now." "Fredrik." "Have you seen "Golden Girls"?" "This is that." "Holy sh... hold on, hold on." "We're taking you back!" "My God." "Wow." "That's what I call a fortieth birthday table." "My God." "I've been calling nonstop, nonstop, nonstop, to get this penthouse deal done." "It's happening, 10 million dollars all cash." "We did it, I did it!" "I sold it, the penthouse!" "I sold it!" "I could not be happier, honestly, nine sales." "Done, I reached my goal." "And now my fortieth birthday with Big D and my friends in freakin' Paris!" "This is so perfect." "Hello?" "Hi!" "Bon anniversaire!" "Look at you!" "Hello." "Sigge!" "Malin!" "Congratulations." "How are you?" "Pastor Cheryl!" "You didn't come to Paris for me, you were here." "We were here." "Hi handsome, how are you?" "All right, all right, all right!" "Luis!" "I couldn't decide which date to bring so I thought to bring one that we could all share." "Happy birthday, man." "I love you." "Should we eat?" "Yes!" "Who's hungry?" "Let's do it." "Cheers." "Cheers." "I'm shaking I'm so emotional." "Do you think we could get invited to your forty first birthday?" "Yeah I think we're gonna have a lot of birthdays together, I have a feeling." "I hope so." "Steve!" "What's going on guys?" "Hello, nice to meet you." "How are you?" "Im Siggy, nice to meet you." "You came." "Look at you, I love your shoes." "Thanks." "Happy birthday, man." "I wasn't expecting Steve to show up." "So I wanted to tell you in person, sometimes you forget in all of this there's a lot more to life than real estate." "And what wouldn't be right is if I wasn't here for you on your fortieth birthday." "Thank you." "What I wanted to say." "I felt really sh... y, really bad." "I was so emotional, I was so upset." "So I also want to tell you with a lunch that I think it's fine, you should do the lunch." "I'm glad you said that, but it didn't feel right," "I cancelled the lunch." "You cancelled?" "I cancelled the lunch." "I didn't want to do it." "I said you know what?" "It's more important, friendship." "What did Dan say?" "Don't matter, Dan is your developer, there's lots of fish in New York." "I don't need Dan." "There's other ones out there, Dan's yours." "I mean no matter what happened," "I've known Fredrik way too long to have one little disagreement you know, ruin a friendship." "Good Fredman." "Hope you forgive me." "Thank you." "I'm really happy, that's like a bonus." "That's like an extra gift to my fortieth, that he shows up and that we are able to move forward and put that stupid stuff behind us." "How are you?" "Hi how are you?" "Good to see you." "Sit, have a seat!" "Bon soirée." "What's up!" "Ryan's here too?" "What the hell this is like a New York reunion." "New York takes Paris, sh..." "How was your trip, good?" "Good Ry." "Steve Gold's like the white Antonio Banderas," "You know?" "I mean look at the three of you, it should be illegal to be this beautiful to be this handsome." "We're gonna put everyone's hotel keys into a bucket and see who goes home with who." "My God, Ryan you were doing so well!" "What?" "That's not what we're doing?" "I'm sorry, pastor." "That's right." "You don't have to put your key in the bucket." "Looking at these people around the table, we've had so many disagreements on so many different levels, and then we're all together." "We've come a long way." "I feel really good." "I feel really, really good." "I feel like everything that you know, all the stuff with us, it's all coming together." "Derek and I have the biggest news of our entire lives." "And right now might be the perfect time to share it actually." "I feel um..." "I feel really good." "I feel really, really good." "I feel optimistic, we feel really good." "You know, it's been a really important week for us, let's just put it that way." "Derek and I have the most amazing news." "But maybe it's actually better to keep it between us, to keep it private for a little longer because I've learned this year not to force things." "So you know what?" "Everybody's going to find out anyway when the time is right." "Okay everybody, let's go dancing." "My God!" "Wow." "This is amazing!" "Okay!" "I mean this year was just mind blowing to me." "Yes!" "My biggest project to date, Madison Square Park Tower." "Steiner East Village and 75 Kenmare, my God." "Lenny Kravitz, Paris, I mean it's been so much!" "You know if somebody told me like seven years ago, when I met Derek that you're gonna sit with him, the love of your life and you're gonna have twins in Paris." "I would never have believed any of it." "Then again, I never thought I was going to turn forty so." "This year has been a complete roller coaster for me." "I mean my business has been incredible." "Brooklyn!" "We have over 100 developments here." "Let's do it man." "Nice job." "Deal?" "Deal." "Let's hug it out." "Yes!" "But I also questioned myself." "I looked at what really really made me happy." "There's a brokerage I want to buy." "I want to own something." "Take more risks everyday, the way that I used to." "So that's what I'm doing." "I love you so much." "Life is good!" "Emilia isn't just my wife, she's my partner in life and it's awesome and I'm excited for the future." "Hey Freddy!" "You little" "Come here." "This year has been incredible!" "You got youself a deal." "Between signed contracts and closings," "I've done over 200 million in sales." "I feel like so blessed right now in my life," "I feel so positive, I feel so optimistic for the future." "I'm only 32 years old." "You know, this is just the beginning." "The only thing missing right now is someone to share it all with." "Wait what's happening?" "Did I do this?" "I didn't do this, I"m not responsible." "It tastes so good." "Paris we love you!"
