Million Dollar New York Listing New York Recap: From Pocket Squares to Pocket Listings

Million Dollar Listing New York - Season 3Fredrik

Fredrik is not getting any bites on his Park Slope listing. He meets with his team to drum up interest among his Manhattan buyers to try to show them how much more space they can buy in Brooklyn. Um, I’m pretty sure they know that, Fredrik. I know that. Nevertheless, he holds a brokers open for Manhattan brokers. They are concerned about the commute into the city. Fredrik convinced them that Park Slope is a 15 minute commute from Manhattan.

It’s Fredrik and Derek’s anniversary already! It seems like just last week they got married! Time flies. Derek bought Fredrik a puppy for his anniversary. I think this is brilliant of Derek. Let Fredrik see how much work a dog is. It’s a step toward a baby. Fredrik sees this as Derek saying there is not going to be a baby. Fredrik is devastated. And crying. Again.

Fredrik gets a bid on the house for $4.1 million which is pretty much what he told the client the listing should be anyway. He met with Jeanne to present the offer in person. Jeanne is not pleased. The negotiation begins. The condo closes at $4.25 million.

Ryan

Ryan and his girlfriend are getting along better. It’s Saturday night, and his girlfriend wants to go out and he wants to stay home and watch movies. Ryan needs Luis for help getting in to see a listing. Ryan is struggling not to be an asshole. His girlfriend is trying to help make him a nicer person.

Ryan’s buyer for 30 Lincoln Plaza made an offer of $5.7 million. Janet rejected it and wanted to meet with Ryan at the apartment to remind him of the great views. Janet is spewing pending offers as comps. Ryan playing hardball. But Janet is taken by Ryan’s charms. She counters at $6.3 and Ryan calls the buyer’s attorney who is not authorized about $6. ROADBLOCK. Oh Ryan, please don’t fuck Luis on this deal. They make a deal at $6.1 million! Happy Salsa!

Luis

Luis is working out with a trainer. Oh crap, the property Ryan wants to work with Luis on is 30 Lincoln plaza. The place where the mean lady gave him a one shot listing opportunity with the potential for more units and then yanked it back from him before his term was even up! Ryan didn’t know that Luis was let go from 30 Lincoln, the place where Ryan got thrown out of his open house. Luis is skeptical, he says Ryan doesn’t need him for that. Ryan says he wants to make amends. Luis really wants back in with that developer so he agrees.

Luis goes to talk to Janet the developer about her pocket listings. Luis once again is working for no commission. He just wants to suck up to Janet. Luis did say in theΒ  $6-7 million range, and I think Ryan said his client had a $6 million dollar cap. Meanwhile, Luis is doing all of the work of the sellers agent for free.

Luis moves on to his next listing, 75 wall Street. It’s gorgeous penthouse with amazing views in all directions. The seller wants $2.82 which is overpriced. The floor plan is odd and the bedroom is a very weird shape. Luis says it will be hard and they will need to stage it.

Luis continues to network with the big wigs, he is chatting up, Howard Lorber, the owner of Douglas Elliman, over drinks. Nice work Luis.

After Ryan closes the deal, Ryan invites Luis out for drinks and gives him a check for $20,000. They seem to be bonding! And getting drunk together. This is so cute! This will never last.

    I am afraid Janet will make Ryan her new rep for the Lincoln Center condos, the position she fired Luis from prematurely. That will cause big friction again.

    Fredrik looked so thrilled when he saw Derek had a bag of something for their anniversary. He acted like he expected Mila was in there. Now they have 3 dogs. All the wiener dogs I have known preferred piddle pads to walks. I guess that is common with lots of high rise living pooches.

    I love Ryan and Luis together! I hope it lasts. I thought it was great that Derek got Fredrik a dog too. Dogs are a ton of work, never mind a baby. I just don’t see Fredrik ever compromising with Derek. I just feel like when it comes down to it, Fredrik would not be willing to sacrifice work and Derek would end up with the baby all the time. Just my opinion though πŸ™‚

      As someone who is a first time dog owner who got rescued by a dog, I thought I would just fence in the back yard, let him live out there and feed him once in awhile. Turns out he has “special needs” has been to a billion vets some of whom just want to put him down, um noe, and likes to eat weird things in the yard that kept me up all night letting him in and out. ​

      As a traveler, it’s hard to find anyone who will do anything but cage him while I am gone. πŸ™

      I think all the people with baby fever like Fredrik should have a dog first. My “yard dog for the ghetto” fucking rules the house and my life now.

      Sigh. [Kristen voice] But he’s PRETTY!!![Kristen voice].

        But it’s beyond different. As someone who had a dog, and raised a son I can assure you there is a HUGE difference. The people who truly feel there isn’t have no business having babies. Seriously, once you have a child there is NO QUESTION (assuming you’re doing it right) that you’d jump in front of a hail of gunfire to happily take the bullets for your child. You’d probably expect your dog to defend YOU. No question at all. A baby changes everything.
        In that respect Derek is right. Some people are made for parenthood and some aren’t. I think, from what I’ve seen on reality tv, anyway (HaHA), that Derek would make a great parent. Of course HE doesn’t know that yet, but he seems a serious, thoughtful man, which is probably WHY he’s so cautious. It’s early days in the marriage yet. I think they should go through 3 years just the two of them before they decide on something as life changing as a child. I’m a firm believer in the 3 year rule anyway. By then you’ve gotten most of the kinks out.
        Still, Fredrik can afford to keep dog walkers on retainer and I’m sure those dogs go to “boutique” (read that “expensive as hell) kennels when Fredrik & Derek are on their frequent trips. On that score kids would be easier as I’m sure grandparents in South Africa or Sweden would be only too happy to spoil Mila to death when the parents were away.

        Kish it is different. Perhaps that my dog is defective makes it more traumatic. But having a dog is a huge responsibility that non dog owner don’t get. People (like me) think you can just have a yard dog. Other people think a dog is a purse accessory. I have driven my dog to specialist 2hrs away. I’ve freaked out when I was told to put him down or pay 20K for him to live.

        I hate to travel now to be away from him because we are two hermits in the same house.

        My point was, that Fredrik needs a middle ground. Dog walkers, nannys, same thing. He will still fall in love with the damn dog. The dog will become a priority whether he meant for it too or not. He will see life changes he never expected.

        For example, I’d love to live in another country, and I have occasional opportunities to do so, but only if Banjo comes with me.

        Ohhhhh trust me I know all about it! have my own little (actually huge) puppy! They are sooooo much work, but worth it. πŸ™‚ Too bad I’m in New York and not Atlanta, I do dog sitting on the side and I have them stay at my house. My dog is a big mush and loves the company. They definitely make traveling more complicated!

        Pictures are deceiving. I thought your dog looked large and visualized him pulling you down the sidewalk. πŸ™‚ I guess those swirl designs on your rug are huge. With all the angst he brought to your life with his issues, I’m glad you still feel you are the one rescued. I always had toy poodles but after my last one passed and my housing situation changed, divorce, a cat better fit my lifestyle. Now, I wish I could declare him as a therapy animal for acceptance purposes, I would be completely nuts without his calmness and my need to nurture. I will soon need to add steps so his fat old ass can get on my 4′ bed.

        My dog looks almost exactly like yours . . . but a mix of Rottweiler, Labrador and Bull Pit. A rescue. She hates men, loves women, children and every animal (even cats and squirrels). She charges every man, meter-reader, gardener who comes into my property. She charges . . . retreats, then charges again biting their legs, feet and hips! Scary! I have learned to always have a leash on her . . . . she hates it. But ya know, even with an alarm system, with HER . . . I don’t need a firearm!

    Derek already has a son, Kai..so it isn’t like he doesn’t want to be a father. I think it is safe to say that there will be a baby..it will make a good storyline. He does need to turn the water works off though.

    I got a very long winded I’m never coming here again comment in my moderation file about the comments I made about Banjo screaming at me for paying 20K for surgery for a dog.
    Just to clarify for the rest of you, not too long after Banjo rescued me, he lost the ability to move his hind legs. It was all very traumatic. Especially for Banjo who went from easy going dog to vicious with the vets. They could not agree on what was wrong with him. One said he may need a very expensive spinal surgery, another said that he was so aggressive that he needed to be put down. The surgery would have been tens of thousands of dollars that I didn’t have.
    My anxiety kicked into overdrive. I was stressed and trying to decide if I should sell whatever I could to come up with the money. I couldn’t see myself putting my dog down because it was to expensive to keep him alive. It was a terrible time.
    Fortunately, he responded to steroids and that seems to have fixed his problem. I can see when his walking starts getting weird again and dose him with prednisone and he gets better. He still has some sort of head tremors and again, prednisone fixes that.
    So fortunately, he has not need the expensive surgery. He’s still pretty aggressive and does not play well with others so when I travel he has to be crated away from other dogs.

    Anyway, this person seems to think that I spent “tip jar” money on surgery for Banjo. That did not happen. And even if it did happen, I don’t think any of y’all would have a problem with that. I’d view it as a much more noble expense than boxes of Merlot.

      I can’t believe someone took the time to criticize you about your dog! Even if you did spend 20K on your dog’s heathare, then that is your right to do so, and it is no one else’s business! If I put $10 in your tip jar I really don’t give a fuck how you spend it, I’m not your guardian, bookkeeper, financial planner…if you want to spend the money on merlot, weed, or acrylic tips for Banjo’s toe nails, then knock yourself out. One given, it is yours to spend as you see fit.

      Whoever this nosey, meddling shrew is, I hope she keeps her promise and never returns to this site.

    This episode, Ryan reminded me of Season 1 Ryan. I liked him. He could stick around and I’d be happy.

    Maybe I missed the point but I don’t get why Derek bought a puppy. Fredrik already had the 2 dogs when he and Derek got together. So taking care of a puppy won’t be anything new.

    Season 1 also had the son of a big broker, who they replaced in S2 with Luis. I think it was the CEO who Luis’ had dinner with’s son.

      Karma, yes that guy was replaced. He was the guy that had to get Botox shot into his arm pits as he had a very sweaty pit problem. In the talking points, Fredrik said, “why would he tell people that?” I never saw him again.

        Yeah that dude also took a trip to the Hampton’s for the weekend and didn’t place a bid on a house, losing the buyer the house completely. Glad he’s gone. I’m sure his dad wasn’t happy to see how his loser son showed his ass on tv. Clearly the dad had a much better work ethic otherwise he wouldn’t be a billionaire.

    Ok, just got caught up on this episode (sorry, I’m behind on everything). Luis drinks a lot in this episode. He’s young I know but I worry. I’m in love with Fredrik and Derek. Please let them adopt a little girl. Can Ryan really be trusted? Don’t do it Luis, he’ll make you feel like an inferior fool. I’m kinda glad they’re having a reunion. Luis is crying on the commercial for it. Probably because Ryan has already betrayed him. Hey I hope the best for Ryan’s soul’s comeback. I just won’t hold my breath. Again, love the properties. The glass floor though…no, not for me. Will someone, at least one person please reply? I know this is way late but I’m hoping at least one of you cares. Thank you and good night.
