“I’ve built a strong team here and we continue to set records,” Eklund wrote in the post. “However, my business is expanding quickly in Miami and the twins got into one of the best schools there for the Fall. Derek got a super cool art studio in the Miami Design District too. We’re so [excited] for this new chapter. I do need to be closer to New York where the business is bigger than ever. Anyway, we LOVE this house so much, I will forever cherish these memories with the family.”
Eklund, who starred on “Million Dollar Listing New York” for 11 years, moved to Los Angeles from New York in 2019.
