It consisted of fulfilling a need after the deregulation of the municipal housing agency in Gothenburg and when the financial crisis struck, the housing market went from extreme housing shortage to large vacancies, and there I saw a business opportunity to fill the need for a rental agent in the market. We mediated about 500 apartments already in the first year. We cooperated with both the municipal companies (Poseidon / Bostadsbolaget / egnahemsbolaget) and a number of private landlords, which led to the start of our own housing agency shops. When I received my real estate agent registration at the end of 1992, I also began to sell villas and condominiums. Despite a deep recession and my "rookie status", my results were very good. I also developed collaboration with Stadshypotek (at the time Swedens no 1 in housing mortgages) in Gothenburg, meaning that I sold the houses that they bought back from executive auctions. There were both succession and commercial real estate. My mission was to reduce their loss/damage. My results as a real estate agent were so good that I was offered the job in 1995 as head of the condominium department at the market leader Bjurfors but instead I decided to start my own company, see above.

The job was to book meetings, by telephone, to my regional manager. The target group was primarily customers who had an interest in retirement savings which was advantageous at the time. I developed my assignment that as soon as I got a prospect willing to buy, for example, a salesman with good income and high marginal tax, I proposed to meet his colleagues who would probably have the same benefits in retirement savings and / or to save in capital insurance. Using this method of mine, I managed to dramatically increase my hit rate and it led me to place myself among the top 3 agents in Sweden in 1989 and 1990. Show less
