Far away,
your home in Korea is in good hands

We receive redevelopment association notices on behalf of members living abroad and make sure you never miss key deadlines like the unit application, or the point when your home becomes hard to sell. If electronic delivery is hard for you, we receive your tax bills too, and once a year we inspect your home in person.

Who we built this for

People who own a home in Korea but have no one in Korea to look after it.

Owners who moved or were posted abroad

The house is still there, but no one is there to receive bills and mail.

Overseas children who inherited a parent’s home

Suddenly you own a home in Korea and don’t know where to start.

Owners of older homes in redevelopment zones

Missing an association notice or filing deadline can be very costly.

To the association, you are one of thousands.
To you, the unit application happens once.

From receiving association notices to preparing documents, we get you ready for that moment well in advance.

Ongoing

Association notices and deadline reminders

Register the KoreaKeeper office as your address with the association, and we receive notices such as general meeting announcements, written resolutions and unit application notices, send you scans, and remind you ahead of reply and filing deadlines. Before the application period, we tell you which documents to prepare from abroad. If electronic delivery is hard for you, we receive your tax bills too.

Every quarter

Redevelopment and regulation check

Using public records, we check whether your home falls within a redevelopment or reconstruction zone or a land transaction permit area, what stage the project is at, and whether related rules have changed.

Once a year

On-site inspection

Our founder, trained in architectural engineering, visits to visually check for wall cracks, signs of leaks and ageing, and sends a report with date-stamped photos. We enter the interior only with owner and resident consent.

The window to sell closes sooner than you think

In speculation-overheated districts, once a project passes certain stages, buyers can no longer become association members, which can make it hard to sell at a fair price. All of Seoul and parts of Gyeonggi are also land transaction permit areas, where only buyers who will actually live in the home can purchase.

Reconstruction

After association approval

For trust-based projects, the transfer of membership may be restricted from the designation of the project operator.

Redevelopment

After management and disposal plan approval

Buyers after this point may not inherit membership and may be paid out in cash instead.

Moa Housing

After association approval

Applies to street-block, small-scale reconstruction and small-scale redevelopment projects, and may differ depending on when the association was formed.

Public urban complex

Acquired after the cut-off date

Homes bought after the cut-off date are paid out in cash instead of a new unit, so selling can become difficult from the candidate stage.

In Rapid Integrated Planning and Moa Town areas, homes created by splitting or new construction after the rights calculation date may not qualify for a new unit. Exceptions and transitional rules vary by area. KoreaKeeper alerts you as these points approach; whether to sell is your decision, made with a licensed agent or tax accountant.

Once a year, you receive a report like this

Written by our founder after seeing your home in person. Not just photos, but what to keep an eye on.

Founder’s noteThe wall cracks have not progressed. We recommend cleaning the gutter before the rainy season, and have prepared notes with photos you can pass on to a contractor.

Looked after by someone who has been there

I have renovated and run an old house myself, and I am now going through a redevelopment project from inside the association. Knowing what overseas owners tend to miss, I take on only a small number of homes and look after each one personally.

Founder, KoreaKeeper (name to be added)

  • Currently serving as an officer of a redevelopment association
  • Renovated a 50-year-old house and ran it as a shared house for 7 years
  • Degrees in architectural engineering and business; served in the army engineer corps

You make the decisions. We do the checking.

We are clear from the start about what we do and what we don’t.

Our principles

Frequently asked questions

What do you track if my home is in a redevelopment zone?

Once an area is designated, steps such as forming an association and applying for a new unit follow, and missing a deadline can be very costly. We help you receive association notices at our office address, check the published schedule and deadlines, and remind you in advance. Decisions such as whether to apply remain yours.

Does it become hard to sell as the project progresses?

In speculation-overheated districts, buyers after association approval (reconstruction) or after management and disposal plan approval (redevelopment) cannot become members, which can make selling difficult. In land transaction permit areas, only buyers who will live in the home can purchase, so there are fewer buyers. Exceptions and transitional rules vary by area and should be confirmed with a professional; KoreaKeeper alerts you as these points approach.

Can you contact the association for me?

Member Care includes one association inquiry per year, and additional inquiries are ₩50,000 each. With your written authorisation, we ask only factual questions such as schedules, required documents and whether something was received, and send you a summary of the answer. We do not negotiate, file complaints or relay your opinions.

How does mail forwarding work?

Change your mailing address with the tax office, district office, bank and others to the KoreaKeeper office, and we scan your mail as it arrives. Some items, such as registered mail restricted to the addressee, cannot be received on your behalf.

Can you inspect if a tenant lives there?

Yes. We always check the exterior and common areas, and enter only with the tenant’s consent. We photograph the condition of the home, not residents’ belongings.

Do you give tax or sales advice?

We do not provide tax or legal advice or brokerage. If needed, we can introduce professionals.

Can I sign up and pay from abroad?

Yes. Everything from consultation to reports is handled online, and we explain payment options during the consultation.

What languages are reports available in?

Reports are currently available in Korean and English. Chinese and Japanese are coming soon.
