WPS Næringsmegling AS

What WPS Næringsmegling AS does

WPS Næringsmegling AS is a Bergen-based commercial real estate brokerage firm founded in 2017, wholly owned by its employees, and operating as an independent player in the Norwegian CRE market. The firm delivers three core service lines: Transaksjoner (transaction advisory covering sales and acquisitions of commercial properties, including off-market opportunities), Utleie (leasing services for offices, retail, warehouses, logistics, industrial, and hospitality space), and Verdivurdering og analyse (property valuation and market analysis for transactions, financial reporting, financing, and portfolio reviews). It is supported by a proprietary WPS-Leietakerregister tenant-matching tool and digital marketing solutions, though the firm explicitly has no proprietary technology platform beyond its Wagtail-based website and Finn.no listing integration.

The company earns revenue primarily through transaction commissions on sales and leases, plus professional services fees for valuation and analysis work; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting commercial property investors, tenants, and owners in the Bergen region and broader Vestland county. The team of approximately 10 people is led by CEO Lars Erik Wirsching (20 years of CRE experience) and includes heads of transactions and leasing, senior advisors, analysts, and marketing staff with backgrounds spanning law, economics, finance, and prior roles at DNB, Sparebank 1 SR Bank, EY, and Capgemini. WPS has been ranked the strongest brand among Bergen CRE brokers for five consecutive years (2021-2025) in the industry-voted Eiendomsbarometeret survey, and serves as the local Bergen partner for national-level transactions involving institutional investors such as Nordea Liv, DNB Livsforsikring, Pareto Alternative Investments, Tristan Capital Partners, and government tenants including NAV.

• JLL Norway: Global real estate services firm operating in Norway with capital markets, leasing, and advisory services. Overlaps with WPS on large landlord and investor mandates in Bergen and Norway more broadly.
