Today, I will tell you some great tips from a real estate agent on how to identify fake listings.
First,
You can filter out fake listings just by looking at Naver Real Estate. Other platforms such as Jikbang and Dabang have high unit prices for advertising,
so it is said that real estate agents usually try to get a lot of money. As a result, they say that they throw out fake listings while taking the risk of reporting fake listings, which is a fine of 5 million won.
Second
The listings posted on Jikbang Dabang Peterpan are usually also posted on Naver Real Estate. If there is a difference of 100,000 to 200,000 won or there are no listings, there is a 100% chance that it is fake, so be aware of this.
Third
If you see a listing and think, “Oh, it’s okay” then it’s false “It’s a bit disappointing” but why are you posting false things like that? This is one of the houses you’re going to move into. ㅎㅎ
If the price and condition of the house are appealing to anyone, it could be false, so be suspicious.
Fourth
The most important thing is to go to the site in person and cross-check with about three real estate agents.
There may be some properties that are exactly the same, such as those that charge excessive management fees in addition to utility bills, so don’t go alone and make sure to go with someone else.
The last one is a hidden tip, but if the one-room photos are too Photoshopped, check the source and whether there are duplicates by searching Google images.
