"I believe that RICS provides the professional Swedish Real Estate market with a international quality authorisation the market has lacked."Lennart Sten FRICS, Regional Head - Northern and Eastern Europe, GE Real Estate Sweden

Lately some of our clients (mostly international banks) have required that all valuations must be done by chartered surveyors. This is a strong sign for us that we have done the right decisions when we decided to encourage some of our colleagues to take the exams. My personal opinion is that after a couple of years a RICS qualification will be business as usual in the real estate valuation also here in Northern Europe.” Juhani Reen FRICS, Managing Director Newsec Advice in Finland

RICS has played a major part in professionalizing the Nordic property market, opening it to foreign investors. As all of our clients are international corporations we require the recognition of a global certifying organization. Our investors know that RICS is the highest professional standard within the business, and they only want to invest with the best. Therefore, RICS is an important part of developing our key personnel, as well as an important network for us.Michael Bruhn FRICS, Head of Nordic, Valad Property Group

Property consultants in Sweden, including valuers, have a high level of knowledge, experience and ethics. The RICS qualification confirms that the employees at DTZ Sweden who are members, has a high level of expertise witch is recognised both locally and internationally. Agneta Jacobsson, FRICS, Managing Director DTZ Sweden

The dominant globalisation increases the need for uniform standards“The cross-country differences are extremely prominent when dealing with commercial real estate. International investors and advisers require uniform and high standards as basis for comparison across borders. RICS meets this need for uniform standards, which is one of the main reasons why Colliers Hans Vestergaard Denmark has chosen highly to prioritize the education of our employees within this field”.Hans Vestergaard MRICS, Founder Colliers Hans Vestergaard“As a property adviser with international clients I believe that it is extremely important for us that our clients can feel the comfort in that we deliver high quality advice based of best practice and the high quality that RICS membership assure.” Jan Rosengren, FRICS Director DTZ Sweden

“I think that both the market and the professionals working with real estate market in Denmark will benefit highly from RICS. First of all due to the professional standard set by RICS but also due to international network that comes through RICS.” Michael Sehested MRICS, Sehested Group 

In a global real estate market, the RICS offers clear standardised guidelines for professional behaviour  in the real estate business. The RICS helps to make property dealings and valuations understandable and transparent. Redevco as an international real estate company sees a clear advantage in dealing with advisors who have met the exacting standards required by the RICS and Redevco encourages its own staff to become members.Björn Hallin MRICS, Portfolio Director Nordic Region, REDEVCO SWEDEN AB

"Jag tycker att det är mycket viktigt att tillhöra en världsomspännande organisation, som sätter stort värde på etik och moral i yrkeslivet. RICS-certifieringen sätter fokus på kvalitet genom hela värderingsprocessen och gör det lättare att samarbeta med andra RICS-värderare över hela världen. Vi på Newsec tycker även att RICS är ett bra forum för att delta i utvecklingen av värderingsstandarder på ett internationellt plan.”Karin Zakariasson MRICS Chef Analys och Värdering Stockholm, Savills
