Featured in Sandefjords Blad: Sandefjord founders building ListingRush

ListingRush was featured in Sandefjords Blad on 30 June 2026 as part of the newspaper’s Sandefjord-gründere series — a spotlight on founders building businesses from Sandefjord. The story follows Fredrik Espolin Johnson, Silas Klaveness, and Ruben Fuglset as they launch a phone-first way for estate agents to create virtual property tours without specialist cameras or heavy production.

Three friends, one hometown

Fredrik, Silas, and Ruben have known each other for years. Today they combine studies and day jobs with building ListingRush under Oceanedge AS — with the long-term goal of spinning the product into its own company. Fredrik is studying economics at NTNU, Silas artificial intelligence in Bergen, and Ruben works in sales in Tønsberg. What ties the work together is a shared belief that buyers deserve a clearer sense of a home before they book a viewing.

What agents told us

Before launch, the team spoke with more than 180 estate agents. The feedback was consistent: photos alone do not always give buyers enough context, while existing virtual-tour tools are often too slow, too expensive, or too complex for everyday listings. ListingRush is built to fill that gap — making it simple and fast to produce walkthroughs from a mobile phone.

Before the viewing, not instead of it

As the article notes, ListingRush is meant to help buyers understand a property earlier in the journey — not to replace the in-person viewing with an agent. The product combines a new iOS app with a web workflow so agents can capture rooms, connect doorways, and publish immersive tours buyers can explore on any device.

Pilots, Spain, and Sandefjord

ListingRush has opened for its first pilot customers to test the solution on real listings. With Spanish-language skills in the founding team, the initial commercial focus includes Spain — while the trio also plans to reach out to local agents in Sandefjord to showcase and validate the product at home.
