Nowon-gu, First-Time Licensed Real Estate Agents Targeted Administrative Support Service

Creation of Q&A Guide on Major Legal Amendments and Frequently Occurring Situations
Simultaneous Inspection and Education of Newly Licensed Real Estate Agents Enhances Compliance
Long-term Cooperative Relationships Built Through Communication Between Local Real Estate Agents and District Office

Nowon-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it will provide on-site administrative support services for newly opened certified real estate agents in the area.

When a certified real estate office is registered in Nowon-gu, a staff member from the Real Estate Information Division visits the site within a week to guide the newly opened certified real estate agents on the regulations they must follow and simultaneously provide education on information necessary for future brokerage activities.

To this end, the district produced a practical guidebook of about 50 pages essential for real estate brokerage work. In particular, it includes explanations of laws and systems in a Q&A format regarding cases frequently occurring on-site.

The main contents include ▲ amendments to the Certified Real Estate Agent Act ▲ guidance on administrative sanctions by violation types of the Certified Real Estate Agent Act ▲ types of jeonse fraud and precautions for real estate transaction reporting ▲ prohibited acts when using online platforms for brokerage and advertising, among others.

The on-site administrative support service was conducted for a total of 34 newly opened brokerage offices until June. Through this, the district expects to prevent real estate brokerage accidents and protect the property rights of residents.

A district official stated, "The response on-site has been positive," adding, "We plan to encourage newly opened certified real estate agents to continuously maintain smooth communication and rapport with the district office and local certified real estate agents." Cooperation with about 750 certified real estate agents active in the area is essential to foster a healthy real estate brokerage culture where residents can trade with confidence.

Experienced local certified real estate agents accompany as ‘Residential Safety Managers’ in the ‘Safe Contract Assistance Service’ project, which helps young adults and single-person households with real estate transactions. Additionally, the ‘Visiting Residential Safety Counseling Office’ project is another example where collaboration between the district’s Real Estate Information Division and local certified real estate agents has enhanced reliability and effectiveness.

Local certified real estate agents are also responding positively to the district’s communication efforts. Those familiar with the local situation actively identify and support vulnerable groups in the neighborhood. Recently, they have also been working as ‘Our Neighborhood Rainwater Drain Guardians’ to prevent flood damage during heavy rains, cooperating in the development of district administration.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “The role of certified real estate agents who participate in trustworthy real estate administration is important in areas with high real estate transaction volumes along with reconstruction and redevelopment issues,” and added, “We will continue to communicate steadily to create an environment where residents can trade with peace of mind.”
