Cheongsong-gun Leads Efforts to Establish Sound Real Estate Transaction Order

Operation of Real Estate Brokerage Office Map and Inspection Team

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province operates a real estate brokerage office guidance and inspection team year-round to foster a healthy real estate transaction culture, with the current regular inspection scheduled from March 20 to 23.

The county will conduct guidance and inspections targeting 25 real estate brokerage offices within the jurisdiction until the end of December, due to concerns over harm to honest consumers caused by socially problematic practices such as the creation of under-the-table contracts, unregistered brokerage activities, and certificate lending.

The main inspection items include violations related to brokerage such as transfer or lending of registration and certificates, brokerage disguised as real estate consulting, excessive brokerage fees, and collusion among brokers (regarding brokerage fees, property information, etc.).

The county will immediately correct and recommend minor issues on-site based on the inspection results, and take administrative actions or file charges according to relevant laws for serious violations.

Yoon Kyung-hee, the county governor, stated that thorough guidance and inspections will be promoted to establish sound real estate brokerage practices and prevent illegal activities in advance. She urged residents to use registered real estate brokerage offices, as unqualified and illegal brokerage activities will not be eligible for legal compensation in case of disputes.
