What Bjurfors does

Bjurfors is a privately-owned Swedish real estate brokerage founded in 1965 by Ragnar Bjurfors, now operating as Sweden's largest privately-owned property broker with approximately 600 employees and around 90 offices across Sweden and Spain. The company mediates residential, new-construction, commercial, luxury, and international property transactions, and earns transaction-based commissions on each completed deal.

The platform is organized as a core brokerage plus specialized divisions: Bjurfors (core residential), Bjurfors Nyproduktion (new-construction sales — Sweden's leading actor in new-build sales with 53 ongoing and 17 upcoming projects), Bjurfors Beyond (luxury/premium), Bjurfors Näringsliv (commercial), and Bjurfors Spain (six offices in Alicante, Mallorca, Nerja, Marbella, Torrevieja, Murcia). Supporting technology includes the Boagenten property search and alerts platform, the På Förhand pre-market service, the Bjurfors Academy training platform, and the proprietary Bjurforsmetoden sales methodology. Operations are enabled through a franchise and company-owned office network and a CRM built on Vitec Express, with integrations into Boneo.se.

Revenue is generated primarily from transaction commissions paid by sellers on completed property sales across all segments, supplemented by referral and partnership fees from financial partners SEB and Söderberg & Partners Bolån for mortgage referrals, and from Navigare Properties for Spanish transactions. The company is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no identified parent company; leadership includes founder Ragnar Bjurfors and CEO Fredrik Kullman.
