Global real estate agency company IQI announced today it has extended its more than 25 country network into a new country, Iceland. This marks the opening of the network’s first office in a Nordic country.
Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari said: “We are delighted to be launching IQI Iceland and to have such a strong local leader join our network.”
Iceland is a wealthy, advanced economy with a shortage of housing, strong labour markets, high household income, and a decade of housing price growth behind it. All of these factors make it an attractive place for us to operate.

“The number of housing transactions nearly doubled in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the year before. Several factors are behind the strong housing market, including insufficient supply, rapid population growth and resilient levels of private demand.”
Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group Managing Director Daniel Ho said:
Looking at Iceland, we see a stable country with strong economic foundations, an attractive housing market and good long-term prospects.

“Our local partner in Iceland is Asdis Osk Valsdottir. She is an industry leader with more than two decades of experience.”
Asdis will serve as Country Head of IQI Iceland. Most recently, she has been the owner of the agency Húsaskjól in Iceland’s capital region, where she is a market expert and has led the industry in technological innovations, especially in marketing and online presence.
New IQI Iceland Country Head Asdis Osk Valsdottir said:
I was attracted to IQI because of their focus on technology and innovation and because they offer many opportunities to connect with investors and other realtors all over the world.
