Thank you for participating in the survey of Sustainability in Real Estate. This survey is part of a research for my Master Thesis in Sustainable Urban Management in Malmö University. The idea of the survey is to understand the dynamics of Real Estate in relation to sustainability from the point of view of the market. Therefore, I kindly ask you to answer on behalf of your customers. It will take you approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire, and your participation is very important.

Your responses will be strictly confidential and the data will be used only for academic research purposes. If you have any questions about the survey or the procedures, please contact Itzel Valderrábano at +46 762043517 or by email to the address specified below.

Thank you very much in advance for your time. To start the survey click on the Continue button below.
