More than 400,000 people flocked to the real estate agent certification exam to be held in October this year, the largest number ever.



As house prices soared and brokerage fees also rose, the number of people trying to get a license increased.

[Mr. A/Certified Broker: For a month and a half, he made a profit of 40 million won while trading 700 million won... .]



[Mr. B / Realtor: When I made a lot of money (a month), it was 30 million won… .] As



real estate prices and brokerage fees rise, the number of people who want to obtain a certified real estate agent has increased significantly.



It is because of the expectation that if you broker only two or three apartment transactions worth 1 billion won a year, you will earn a decent salary for an office worker.



There are opinions that it is only a few cases, but



[Ahn Hyun-hee / Realtor: There are quite a few real estate that cannot even rent an office. This complex has also been around for less than a year, and seven real estate properties have already been closed.] The



student thinks that there is no alternative like this in a situation where quality jobs are scarce.



[Student: For one apartment, the real estate brokerage fee is 10 million won or 1,500 won, right? It doesn't happen every day, but if you do it once, it's like winning 2nd or 3rd place in the lottery.]



While 408,000 people took the 32nd Qualified Realtor Exam to be held in October, the largest number ever, the number of closures has greatly decreased.



The government is considering a plan to change the test method for certified real estate agents from absolute to relative, and to adjust the number of successful applicants according to market conditions.



[Seo Eun-sook/Chairman of Yongsan-gu Branch of Korea Real Estate Brokers Association: (Due to excessive production of successful applicants) There is another side to competing with excessive sugar. Behind the scenes, consumers can be deceived.]



However, experts are of the opinion that the government plan to significantly lower the brokerage commission rate is coming soon and the brokerage industry, which is pushing forward with the entry into real estate platforms, is not as rosy as it is.
