Fredrik Eklund and his partner Derek Kaplan put their gorgeous Manhattan apartment on the market last week—and it's already been scooped up! The Million Dollar Listing New York agent opened up about what went down in the intense bidding war.

"Our loft sold in a bidding war over ask!" he wrote on Instagram on Saturday. Fredrik and his husband got the good news while on vacation: "We arrived to the island last night late, and on our bed was the signed contract faxed—what an amazing anniversary gift! And I'm so happy for the buyer—so many incredible memories in that apartment."

That's me flexing in the water with the signed contract of our apartment (and a glass of rose). I'm so happy: with less than a week on the market, our loft sold in a bidding war over ask! We arrived to the island last night late, and on our bed was the signed contract faxed - what an amazing anniversary gift! And I'm so happy for the buyer - so many incredible memories in that apartment. #weeee

The agent listed his home for $2.9 million, according to the real estate website Curbed. It was the second time the broker tried to sell the 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath space: it was first listed in May 2013 for $3.25 million.

There was more good news for Fredrik this weekend, too: he and Derek were celebrating their two-year relationship milestone—and also toasting Fredrik's brother, who tied the knot, as well.

"I think it's quite possible that we had the best night of our lives last night," Fredrik wrote in another Instagram photo on Sunday.

I think it's quite possible that we had the best night of our lives last night, and I don't say that lightly. There are many bestest nights these days, perhaps because the more you love and are thankful for, the more you get. Like gravity, you increasingly start to pull it. You know one of those nights, where you can't stop laughing? You just can't stop.... Like life is tickling us with its perfect feather. So you look for a button to stop time, but there is no such button so you have no option than to go deeper into the feeling of joy because it may never come back. We laughed so much we cried, then so much that we couldn't breathe. Everyone was looking. At one point I thought I was going to dissolve under the palm trees. Isolated on a tropical island, lost in the best of ways. The sky was so bright with stars that they gave us shadows, and the full moon pointed with its yellow spotlight on us. I felt so close to my brother and sister in law, even physically, since neither one of us have been back here since the wedding. Then, when everyone else had gone to bed, Derek and I went back to the spot on the beach where we got married. It's this pointy tooth of sand that jets out in the ocean towards Cuba's lights which you can see in the horizon. This time no people, no cameras, finally no more laughter, just him and me again where it all began.
