What Krogsveen does

Krogsveen (legal name: Eiendomsmegler Krogsveen AS) is a Norwegian real estate brokerage firm founded in 1975 and headquartered in Fornebu, Norway. The company operates 46 directly-owned sales departments across 14 Norwegian counties, with primary concentration in Eastern Norway (Østlandet) and additional presence in Trondheim, Stavanger, Bergen, Ålesund, and Sørlandet. Its core offering spans residential property sales, buying advisory, rental management, commercial real estate (Krogsveen Næring), and new construction project sales (Krogsveen Nybygg), supplemented by integrated moving assistance (Flyttehjelp), property seller insurance through Gjensidige, and a content platform (Magasin).

The company's technology platform is built around a proprietary Boligsøkerregister (property seeker register) containing nearly 100,000 registered buyers, which feeds an AI-based matching system (Boligmatch) to connect properties with pre-qualified seekers before public listing on Finn.no. It also operates the Hjem.no marketing platform as a proprietary listing channel alongside third-party marketplaces. Digital tools include automated property valuation calculators and AI-powered property visualization features. The company maintains integrated settlement (oppgjør) and marketing functions in-house.

Krogsveen's revenue model is commission-based, charging 1-3% of sale price with a minimum of kr 50,000-75,000, supplemented by fixed fees for facilitation (from kr 19,900), settlement (kr 8,900), viewings (from kr 4,500), and marketing packages (from kr 26,900). An hourly rate option (kr 2,500/hour) is available. Rental management generates recurring revenue through a percentage of monthly rent plus a one-month tenant placement fee. The company serves four primary segments: residential sellers/buyers (primary), residential landlords, property developers (new construction), and commercial property owners. Distribution is primarily direct through the 46-branch network, with locally-based agents serving as the principal customer touchpoint.
