Any Bravo fan knows Fredrik Eklund as the bold, hilarious, and high-kicking real estate mogul, but did you know that he's also a published author? After reading Fredrik's new book The Sell, we thought it only appropriate to test the larger-than-life personality's ability to sell anything — and by that, we mean some really weird stuff.
