Was ist Budongsan (부동산) — real estate / agency?

Budongsan (부동산) literally means 'real estate.' In everyday speech Koreans also use it to mean the neighbourhood real-estate office — 'going to the 부동산' means visiting a local agent.

When someone says they found a place 'through the 부동산,' they mean a local licensed agency. Seoul Homes connects you with verified agents online so you can browse and inquire in English before visiting.
