Since then, he’s also joined the cast ofMillion Dollar Listing Los Angeles, making him the first agent in the Bravo franchise to pull double duty.
“I filmed BOTH shows, NY and LA, and it wasn’t easy but I’m so grateful to be able to let the cameras in on the good, bad and ugly of working bicoastal and ruffle feathers of brokers everywhere,” he told PEOPLE in March.
Eklund added that it was “tricky” navigating the travel between New York and Los Angeles for the two series amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Especially traveling back and forth was tricky because of the lockdowns and we covered that too — my frustration and learning patience, which isn’t one of my strengths,” he said.
Eklund’s decision to rent out his Bel-Air property isn’t the first time he’s opened his home to potential tenants.
Last summer, he made his5,144-square-foot country house in Connecticut available to rent.
