Sørlandet's largest business broker to Arendal!

Published 11/15/2021

Morten Venemyr (48) will be hired as manager when Næringsmegleren now establishes itself in Arendal.

"We want to be closer to the market east of Agder and offer professional assistance in the sale and rental of commercial real estate - in an area where a lot of exciting things are happening", says Managing Director Unni Mesel.

"Our vision is to contribute to value creation in Southern Norway and we have over time felt a need to strengthen our position in the Arendal region. The establishment is thus part of a long-term strategy to expand the market and consolidate our position in Southern Norway. We think the timing is very good now. With the pandemic behind us and the upcoming establishment of a battery factory, among other things, we experience that there is a great degree of optimism and desire to invest in Arendal."

Plots with real estate experience

Morten Venemyr hails from Arendal and has a large network of contacts in the area and good knowledge of business development and the real estate market in the region. Many already know Venemyr as the owner and Managing Director of the shop Jakt & Friluft in Stoa. He has extensive experience as a landowner, business developer and real estate developer.

"I am very motivated to be able to create something new that benefits multiple parties, and I am very much looking forward to taking on this task. Arendal is growing rapidly and I see fantastic opportunities."

"It is very motivating that Næringsmegleren is now coming to Arendal, and that says a lot about the opportunities they see here. To be part of a competence environment like Næringsmegleren, and to develop this business further, is simply a privilege", says Morten Venemyr.

“We have said internally that we will invest in Arendal when we find the right, local person to spearhead our business in Arendal, and now we are very pleased to have Venemyr in place. He will of course work closely with the rest of the team in Kristiansand to ensure the same good quality and competence that we are known for”, concludes Unni Mesel.
