2026 KCIA Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation: Results Announced for Certified Real Estate Broker Offices in Selected Gyeonggi Regions

KCA Korea Consumer Assessment has announced the results of the '2026 KCIA Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation for Certified Real Estate Broker Offices' in certain areas of Gyeonggi Province, an event hosted by the Korea Consumer Council and supervised by Korea Consumer Assessment. The areas evaluated this year include Siheung, Ansan, Anyang, Yangju, Osan, Yongin, Uiwang, Uijeongbu, Icheon, Paju, Pyeongtaek, Hanam, and Hwaseong.

The purpose of this evaluation is to implement the eight fundamental consumer rights—such as the rights to representation, information, and choice as guaranteed by Article 4 of the Framework Act on Consumers—by announcing consumer assessment results for each industry division according to the standard industrial classification. The evaluation also aims to offer consumers objective and useful information, ultimately improving the quality of consumer life.

The '2026 KCIA Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation for Certified Real Estate Broker Offices' is conducted annually to introduce to the public outstanding certified broker offices that have received high marks from actual users by providing high-quality property listings based on professional expertise.

Between June and July, a preliminary nationwide survey was carried out on certified real estate broker offices based on big data from portal website visits and similar channels. Candidates were notified if they ranked within the top 30.23%, and ultimately, only the top 0.54% of broker offices across the country were selected as outstanding offices according to the criteria below.

Korea Consumer Assessment selected outstanding certified broker offices by region after a comprehensive final review of information, based on five criteria: △diversity of property listings △timeliness and accuracy of postings △staff friendliness △track record in real estate brokerage △overall evaluation. The full list of recognized offices is as follows.

By releasing the results for each region, consumers are able to verify in detail the certified broker offices that were evaluated in their respective areas.

A representative from Korea Consumer Assessment stated, "Because real estate transactions require careful judgment, consumers consider factors such as property information, broker experience, and operational status when selecting a certified real estate broker office." They added, "Since this evaluation comprehensively reflects aspects such as property listings, broker track records, and sales activities, we expect it will serve as a helpful reference for consumers."
