FAQs

    • Getting Started
      You can begin by either:

      • Booking a video consultation to discuss your housing preferences in detail, or

      • Submitting the form below with your housing criteria, and we’ll get in touch with you shortly.

    • Sharing Housing Options
      After we fully understand your housing needs in South Korea, we’ll provide you with a curated list of available housing options.

    • Scheduling Viewings
      Based on your selections and availability, we’ll arrange house viewings for the properties you’re interested in.

    • On-Site Assistance
      We will accompany you during the house viewings to assist with communication between you, the landlord, and the real estate agency.

    • Finalizing the Contract
      Once you’ve chosen your ideal home, we’ll help you secure the property by assisting with contract negotiations and the signing process.

  • Once you submit the form below or after our video consultation, we will provide you with a detailed pricing list for our services.

    Payment is 10% off the contract price, with a down payment of 25,000-50,000 won (20-45 USD) to initiate our service.

  • South Korea’s housing deposit system is quite different from what you might expect in other countries, where deposits typically range from 1-3 months' rent.

    The housing deposit is based on the property’s market value. For monthly rental contracts, the deposit usually ranges from 5-10% of the property’s total value.

    For an officetel or villa in South Korea, the typical housing deposit starts from 10,000,000 KRW and can go up to 50,000,000 KRW, which is paid directly to the landlord.

    To protect your deposit, the government guarantees and insures deposits up to 50,000,000 KRW. To activate this protection, you simply need to register your move-in date at your local community center.

  • Yes, you can use all of our services even if you’re not in Korea! We offer complete remote support, allowing you to find and secure housing in South Korea without being onsite for most of the process.

    How does the remote process work?

    1. Video Consultation or Online Form: We’ll begin by discussing your housing needs via video consultation or through an online form. This helps us understand your preferences and requirements.

    2. Virtual Viewings: We’ll arrange house viewings and provide virtual tours through video calls or recorded videos. You’ll be able to explore properties remotely and make informed decisions without needing to be in Korea.

    3. Contract Signing: While we handle most aspects remotely, you must be on-site in Korea for the contract signing. This is a legal requirement to finalize the lease agreement. Additionally, you will need a Foreigner Registration Card (ARC) to complete the contract. We will assist you with all the preparations and guide you through the entire signing process.

  • Yes, most apartments in Korea are rented out unfurnished, meaning you will need to provide your own furniture, such as beds, sofas, and desks. However, certain essential appliances and fixtures are usually included, such as a refrigerator, washing machine, built-in kitchen stove, and kitchen sink. Additionally, many apartments come with built-in wardrobes, shoe racks, and a mirror. Keep in mind that other items like furniture and smaller appliances will need to be purchased or brought by the tenant.
