About
Local, Bilingual and on Your Side
Seoul Housing Help is run by a Seoul-based team of professional Korean–English interpreters. We started it because the same question kept coming up from the international clients we already work with: “Can you help me find an apartment?”
Who provides the service
Our interpreters already accompany international clients to appointments where getting every detail right matters — including medical consultations in Gangnam. Housing needs the same thing: someone who translates accurately, asks the uncomfortable questions, and makes sure you understand what you're agreeing to before you pay.
You pay us directly. We take no commission from realtors or landlords, so we have no reason to push you towards a particular property.
