Excellent Real Estate Service Provider Certification

Excellent real estate service provider certification is granted by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport under Article 15 of the Real Estate Service Industry Promotion Act, and a registered business may apply only if it provides real estate services such as brokerage, management, development or leasing as its core service while providing real estate or related services in connection with other registered businesses (Article 11 of the Enforcement Decree). The certification standards are the provider's expertise and legal compliance, the stability and excellence of its services, and consumer protection measures, and the applicant must score at least 70% of the total evaluation points (60% for businesses that submit a small business confirmation) and exceed the minimum ratio for each item. When the application (Annexed Form No. 3 of the Enforcement Rules) is filed with documents proving the standards are met and a real estate service operation plan, the review is completed within 60 days of receipt and may be extended once by up to 30 days, and certified providers undergo a regular inspection every 2 years.
