How the traditional estate agents shall meet the new conditions on the market.</p><p>The Swedish real estate market is overheating, especially within the Stockholm area. Times of prosperity, upward economic trends and low rate of interest have attracted both more buyers and sellers to the real estate market.</p><p>The demand is today larger than the supply, which has led to an extreme situation on the market where the competition has intensified. To examine this we have chosen tools from relationship- and service marketing. Our variable for long-term profit is identified as loyalty.</p><p>The method that we have chosen to serve our purpose in the best possible way is, partly, by interviews with two real estate agents and, partly, by surveys among customers of the companies. The estate agents we have interviewed are Skandia Mäklarna and a smaller actor Mäklarfirman Grönberg. In order to collect information we have also chosen to use several kinds of sources such as the Internet and various kinds of literature.</p>
