"The Art of Real Estate Contracts" began with the author's desire to work with a clear understanding of the essentials for a licensed real estate agent.
This is the second book in a two-volume series, and it covers the skills that a licensed real estate agent in the growth stage must have that were not covered in the first volume.
This book focuses on the process of clarifying the knowledge required in practice and the basis and source of its instructions.
This book will serve as a clear basis for contract work.

“Certified real estate agents also had no choice but to suffer.
The reporter asked why the real estate agent did not check the registration certificate.
The real estate agent protested that, of course, there is no landlord who brings a certificate of registration to the lease agreement.
In reality, the registration certificate is a certificate of registration with one page of registration information added to it.
It is very easy to forge a resident registration card, and it is also very easy to forge registered information.
“Just print it out neatly on a sheet of A4 paper, make a court sticker, and stick it on, and you’re done.”

“In practice, in the case of real estate contracts involving agents, the agent is often sent as a participant in the contract, with means such as a preliminary interview with the actual principal, confirmation of identity and intention, and confirmation of the contract by phone or video call.
That is, there are many cases where the person himself/herself completed the expression of intent through prior expression of intent and expression of intent through information and communication media, even though he/she was not present in the same space, and only the act of signing or stamping was delegated.
Even in these cases, it is necessary to understand the basic legal basis and effect of the power of attorney and to explain it well to the contracting parties.”

“It was a time when splitting up multi-family homes was in full swing.
The district unit plan allowed up to 5 households per house.
If 5 households are built in one house according to the floor area ratio, each household will have an exclusive area of ​​approximately 20 pyeong.
Of course, it is a three-room structure.
Landlords split the units into one-room and two-room units and rent them out.
There are far more renters looking for one-room or two-room apartments than there are people looking for three-room apartments.
The Earth Unit Plan does not take into account market demand at all.
The broker has no choice but to enter into a lease agreement even though he is fully aware that the building is in violation of the law.
Of course, the verification statement should clearly state the potential violation, but this is often not the case.
They violate their duties as real estate agents for various reasons, such as not knowing how to apply, not having a “violation” listed in the building register, or because the landlord doesn’t like it.
Only real estate agents who are listed as illegal buildings and do not provide proper explanations are harmed.
In fact, I have seen cases where tenants who want to terminate their contracts cannot find a tenant and do not want to pay brokerage fees, so they report illegal buildings.”

“The cost of restoration that tenants must bear is high.
If the wallpaper is discolored due to smoking or becomes contaminated with nails, graffiti, paint, etc., the tenant is responsible for the cost.
If a door was installed to divide a large room into two sections, this also falls within the scope of restoration.
In such cases, it is also advisable to use the restoration exemption special provision if the parties agree that it is necessary to improve the usability.
Instead of giving up the right to claim reimbursement or purchase through an agreement between the landlord and tenant, a special clause exempting the obligation to restore the property to its original condition can be used.
In other words, it would be good to specify that the landlord is exempt from the obligation to restore the door installed by the tenant to its original condition upon termination of the contract, and the tenant will not request a purchase or reimbursement of costs.
“Completion of restoration to its original condition, return of real estate, and return of lease deposit are concurrent performances.”
