[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced on the 2nd that it will collect public opinions under the theme "Housing Brokerage Services: Issues and Improvement Measures" until the 13th. This will be done through the Commission's platform, 'Gukmin Saenggakham' (National Thinking Box).

Recently, there has been an increase in consumers using IT-based real estate mobile applications or direct transaction platforms to reduce brokerage fees.

On the other hand, real estate industry insiders argue that despite the fact that housing transaction volumes have significantly decreased due to real estate regulations causing house prices to rise, threatening their livelihoods, licensed real estate agents are the ones receiving criticism.

This has heightened dissatisfaction between consumers and licensed real estate agents regarding brokerage fees.

Accordingly, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission plans to actively utilize the results of collecting diverse opinions from the public and real estate industry stakeholders on housing brokerage services through Gukmin Saenggakham for institutional improvements or policy proposals.

The survey content includes ▲ the appropriateness of brokerage fees amid rising house prices ▲ the appropriate transaction price for public housing size (exclusive area of 85m²) as perceived by the public and the corresponding appropriate brokerage fee rate ▲ opinions on improving brokerage services, among others.

Jeon Hyun-hee, Chairperson of the Commission, stated, "There are cases where existing policies or systems fail to reflect reality and become targets of public dissatisfaction. The Commission will faithfully fulfill its role to ensure that opinions gathered from the public, experts, and stakeholders are reflected in policy or institutional improvements."
