Until now, online maps have only allowed users to search for properties listed for sale by homeowners. Now, however, people who want to buy or rent a home or building can directly post on the map specifying, "I am looking for this kind of property." With this map, users can instantly see which properties are for sale and, conversely, who is looking for specific types of properties.

The usage is simple. Users only need to detail their preferred neighborhood, type of property (such as apartment, villa, commercial space, or land), budget, and size on the map. Then, a homeowner or a real estate agent in that area can review these posts and proactively contact the user, letting them know that a property matching their requirements is available.

To ensure safe and trustworthy use, the platform requires identity verification before any post is uploaded. Individuals must go through personal authentication, agents verify themselves as licensed realtors, and businesses must complete business license authentication as part of their profile verification process. If users prefer not to disclose their phone numbers, they can choose an option to exchange messages without revealing numbers. There is also a reporting feature to immediately block any fake information or malicious contact attempts.

Currently, all listings are open for anyone to view. In the future, a feature will be added to allow discreet, private communication between selected users who wish to confidentially explore large buildings or land deals without public exposure.

Jeong Sumin, CEO of Real Estate Planet, said, "Until now, real estate information has mainly focused on sales and rentals, making it difficult for the desired conditions of buyers and tenants to be recognized. We will expand the scope of real estate information—traditionally centered on the supplier—to include demand-side listings, fostering a more efficient trading environment."
