Brief information about FMN, the Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents.

The Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents (FMN) is the central administrative agency that

  • examines applications for registration as an estate agent
  • maintains a central register of estate agents
  • exercises supervision of the registered estate agents
  • provides information on codes of practice for estate agents

Organisation of the Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents

The Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents includes a Disciplinary Board, which consists of members appointed by the Government. The Disciplinary Board includes a chairman, a vice chairman as well as six other members and four substitutes. The chairman and vice chairman are lawyers and have experience as court judges. The chairman of the board is also the chief executive of the agency.

Annual report

The Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents' most recent annual report is available as a PDF file via the link below. The annual report is only available in Swedish.

At the FMN you can

  • find out whether a person is registered as an estate agent
  • submit a complaint against an estate agent you consider has acted incorrectly
  • receive information on various issues related to estate agent business

The FMN maintains a register of estate agents. This shows whether a person is registered as an estate agent and whether the supervisory board has issued a warning to the estate agent. The Board's preventive measures include the examination made when a person applies to be registered as an estate agent. This examination is aimed at preventing persons with insufficient knowledge or those who are otherwise unsuitable from working as estate agents.

With effect from 1 October 2003 there are two types of registration, fully registered and registered to lease property. An estate agent who is fully registered may mediate all types of property. An estate agent who is registered to lease property may only mediate rental properties.

The Swedish Board of Supervision of Estate Agents' supervision entails ensuring that estate agents fulfil their obligations in accordance with the Estate Agents Act. A supervisory matter usually starts with a complaint being registered by a seller or buyer, or at the Board's own initiative. The FMN's supervision can lead to a decision that the estate agent should be removed from the register or that the estate agent should be issued with a warning. In most cases, however, a supervision matter is written off without any criticism of the estate agent. The FMN's practice in supervisory matters contributes to developing codes of conduct for estate agents.
