Reference estimate based on Seoul residential fee ceilings for 2026. Monthly-rent value adds 100 times monthly rent to the deposit, then uses 70 times rent if the first result is below KRW 50 million. The fee is negotiated within the ceiling and VAT may be separate. Offices, land, commercial property, and other regions use different rules.

Method and assumptions

Apply Seoul residential brokerage-fee ceiling brackets reviewed in July 2026. Monthly rent is converted into a deemed transaction value, and a negotiated rate is checked against the ceiling. Other regions, property types, and VAT treatment can differ.
