In the heart of Oslo’s prestigious west side, PrivatMegleren Park has built a reputation as Norway’s premier name in luxury real estate — a firm that fuses Nordic refinement with global ambition. Under the leadership of Mick Rødsten, the company has become synonymous with discretion, integrity, and design excellence. Recently recognized as Best Luxury Real Estate Agency in Norway 2025 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, PrivatMegleren Park continues to redefine what modern real estate representation can be. 

In this exclusive conversation, Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, sits down with Mick Rødsten to explore the philosophy behind the firm’s success, the evolving dynamics of the Norwegian property market, and the values driving their vision forward.

Alexander Chetchikov: Congratulations on your recent LLA victory! How would you describe your company’s core philosophy and what sets it apart from other real estate firms in Norway?

Mick Rødsten: Thank you — it’s an honor to receive such recognition. At PrivatMegleren Park, our philosophy is centered on excellence through experience. We believe that selling or buying a home is not just a transaction, but a personal journey that deserves time, discretion, and craftsmanship. What truly sets us apart is the balance between Nordic authenticity and international sophistication. We combine deep local insight with a curated, design-driven approach — ensuring every client and every property is represented with precision, emotion, and integrity. 

AC: A high number of your clients come through recommendations, which speaks volumes about trust and satisfaction. How do you and your team cultivate such enduring client relationships?

MR: Trust is our greatest currency. We earn it by being consistent — always delivering on our promises and never compromising on quality. Every client has their own story, and we take pride in listening deeply to understand their motivations and aspirations. Over time, those genuine relationships naturally evolve into lasting partnerships. Many of our clients become close friends, and they know we’re here for them long after a deal is closed. That continuity builds both loyalty and reputation. 

AC: The company places great emphasis on presentation, styling, and bespoke marketing. Can you tell us more about how design and storytelling influence the way you present properties?

MR: Presentation is everything — but not in a superficial way. A well-presented home should tell a story. We spend time understanding what makes each property special — its light, flow, and atmosphere — and translate that into visual and emotional storytelling. Whether through architecture, photography, or film, we want buyers to feel something before they even set foot inside. Our collaboration with stylists, photographers, and creative partners ensures that every listing reflects our brand’s aesthetic: calm, timeless, and deeply Scandinavian. 

AC: With global exposure through platforms like JamesEdition, PrivatMegleren Park connects Norwegian properties with international buyers. How important is this global presence to your long-term strategy?

MR: It’s absolutely essential. Norway has entered the radar of international investors in a meaningful way — both as a safe haven and as a destination for design-conscious living. Our global presence allows us to represent Norwegian properties to a worldwide audience while also assisting Norwegians who wish to acquire homes abroad. Long-term, our ambition is to be a trusted bridge between Norway and the world — a global boutique agency with Nordic roots and international reach. 

AC: Norway’s luxury housing market has evolved significantly in recent years. What key trends are currently shaping the high-end property landscape in Oslo and beyond?

MR: We’re seeing a growing demand for refined simplicity — spaces that combine modern architecture with natural materials and an understated aesthetic. Buyers are increasingly focused on quality over quantity: smart layouts, timeless design, and premium craftsmanship. At the same time, location remains paramount. In Oslo, neighborhoods like Frogner, Bygdøy, and Majorstuen continue to define urban luxury, while areas along the Oslofjord and the mountains are attracting those seeking lifestyle and retreat properties. 

AC: As a leader in the field, how do you see international interest in Norwegian real estate changing, and what factors make the country appealing to foreign buyers?

MR: International interest is growing steadily. Norway offers a combination of political stability, economic strength, and natural beauty that is rare in today’s world. The architecture, design culture, and high standard of living also resonate strongly with global buyers seeking authenticity and sustainability. What’s more, Norwegian properties are still considered relatively undervalued compared to other European capitals, which makes our market both attractive and secure. 

AC: Sustainability and modern architecture are gaining prominence in property design. How do you see eco-conscious luxury influencing buyer preferences in Norway?

MR: Sustainability is no longer a trend — it’s an expectation. The new generation of luxury buyers wants homes that reflect their values as much as their lifestyle. In Norway, this aligns beautifully with our architectural traditions: natural light, durable materials, and harmony with nature. The future of luxury real estate will be defined by how seamlessly we integrate technology, comfort, and environmental responsibility. That’s a direction we fully embrace at PrivatMegleren Park. 

AC: Finally, what advice would you offer to clients looking to invest in Norway’s luxury real estate market, whether they are buying, selling, or expanding their portfolios?

MR: My advice is to think long-term and to work with people who truly understand the market. In Norway, value is not only in location — it’s in quality, provenance, and timeless design. Whether you’re buying or selling, surround yourself with professionals who care about detail, presentation, and strategic timing. Real estate should be viewed as both a lifestyle and an investment, and when approached with patience and insight, it tends to reward both.

Thank you, Mick, for sharing your insights and perspectives. Your leadership and dedication continue to shape PrivatMegleren Park’s success and strengthen its position as a leader in luxury real estate in Norway.
