Where is the buyer’s agent in Korea?

Where is the buyer’s agent in Korea?

Hey cuz,

Back home, it’s clearer. There’s a listing agent. There’s a buyer’s agent. You know who represents who.

Here, it feels fuzzier. You ask something. They don’t really push for you. They don’t really push against you either. It just feels… unclear. Most of us eventually get to this point:

“Are they working for me? Or the landlord?”

Agents here start from the listing side by default. Tenants come and go. Landlords stay. Their phone rings from inventory. People walk in from the street. So they aren't trying to "win" you first.

But once things start feeling real, the energy shifts pretty quickly. Calls get made. Other options appear. People start trying to make things work.

After a while, I stopped paying so much attention to whose side someone was supposedly on. I just let them know there is something real to close. Then I just watch how things move.

That usually tells me enough.

Stay steady,
