Ep 1. New Girl On The Block

In this season 9 premiere of Million Dollar Listing New York titled "New Girl on the Block," we are introduced to a new cast member, Kirsten Jordan. As the only woman on the show, Kirsten starts off with a bang by trying to land her first big deal.

The episode starts with Fredrik Eklund, one of the show's original cast members, returning to New York City after spending time in Los Angeles. He returns to his gorgeous penthouse in SoHo and is excited to start selling again. Meanwhile, Steve Gold is in a bit of a bind after getting a low offer on his $38 million listing and Ryan Serhant is gearing up for a new development project with a high-profile designer.

Kirsten, a broker from California, is a force to be reckoned with. She sets her sights on a $35 million listing and works tirelessly to win over the seller. Despite facing some initial resistance, Kirsten's charm and expertise eventually win the seller over and she is able to secure the listing.

As the episode progresses, we see Fredrik and Ryan working on their own projects. Fredrik meets with a potential buyer for his $23.5 million penthouse while Ryan teams up with designer Kelly Wearstler on a new development project. Both experiences come with their own set of challenges, but the two seasoned brokers are up to the task.

Steve, on the other hand, is struggling to sell his luxurious listing. Despite hosting multiple open houses and private showings, he is unable to secure a sale. In a last ditch effort, he reaches out to some high-profile buyers in hopes of sealing the deal.

As all three brokers work to close their deals, Kirsten faces some unexpected challenges of her own. Despite having secured the $35 million listing, she learns that the seller has changed his mind and wants to cancel the deal. Kirsten is disappointed but refuses to give up. She sets out to find another buyer for the property and manages to secure a new deal in record time.

In the final moments of the episode, we see all four brokers reflecting on their successes and failures over the past year. As the cameras fade to black, we are left with a sense of excitement for what's to come in the rest of the season.

Overall, "New Girl on the Block" is a strong start to the new season. The introduction of Kirsten adds an interesting dynamic to the show and it's always fun to see the brokers take on new challenges. With plenty of drama, humor, and high stakes deals, season nine of Million Dollar Listing New York is shaping up to be another must-watch season.
