The Kwon Ik Committee proposed four proposals. ① The current 5-step transaction amount section standard is subdivided into 7 phases, a progressive fixed rate plan for each section, and a progressive rate fixed rate for each section, but in the high-priced housing transaction section, the cost is decided by consultation. ③ A single rate system or A proposal to apply a single fixed-rate system ④ A proposal for a broker to decide the remuneration in consultation with the client within the range of 0.3% to 0.9%, without distinction between trading and rental.

The first proposal proposed by the KFTC is to integrate 0.5% of the sale of less than 600 million won in trading. It is divided into 5 steps for 0.6% to 900 million won and over 900 million won. Specifically, 0.7% for 900 million to 1.2 billion won, 0.4% for 1.2 to 1.8 billion won, 0.3% for 1.8 billion to 2.4 billion won, 0.2% for 2.4 to 3 billion won, and 0.1% for over 3 billion won are applied.

To this, 1.2 billion won to 1.8 billion won is added to 1.2 million won, 1.8 billion to 2.4 billion won is 3 million won, and 5.4 million won over 2.4 billion won is added. 300,000 won is deducted from 300 million to 600 million won, and 900,000 won from 600 million to 900 million won.

When the first plan is introduced, the brokerage fee, which is currently up to 9 million won, will be reduced to 5.5 million won when buying and selling a 1 billion won apartment. In the case of jeonse, the brokerage fee for apartments with a deposit of 650 million won drops from the current maximum of 5.2 million won to 2.35 million won.

In the second plan, when the amount exceeds 1.2 billion won and 900 million won, respectively, in trading and rental transactions, the rate should be determined through consultation.
