This study started from a problem that despite quite a long time since the real estate Escrow system was introduced in Korea, the operation of the system has not been activated. It was aimed at gauging what factors impede the activation of the operation as the actual condition since the introduction of the system showed that the operation was not activated, and laying out ways of rooting in Korean society as soon as possible through the institutionalization of the suitable system for Korean society. The literature review, analysis of inventory data, and survey were used to achieve these research purposes. The result obtained by this analysis is summarized as follows.
First, real estate agents really didn't know about the real estate Escrow system. A survey on respondents who experience a real estate transaction more than 3 times - real estate agents, not the public showed that only 7.4% of respondents have been recommended to use the system about have you ever been recommended to use it when a real estate transaction, while 92.6% of them haven't been recommended to use it. Because it wasn't properly promoted after the introduction of it or there were factors that couldn't be inconsistent with the practice of a real estate transaction in Korea.
Second, 51.1% of respondents were worried about the risk of an accident when a real estate transaction, which even real estate agents, not the public were considerably worried when a real estate transaction. 40.5% of respondents thought that real estate agents had their specialization in a real estate transaction about how real estate agents can prevent an accident when a real estate transaction, while 19.7% of them thought that they had not their specialization.
Third, respondents rated the reliability(59.0%) and the specialty(17.0%) highly about a question that you think what is important as standards of selecting Escrow companies, if the system is used. 50.0% and 23.4% of them selected the ‘financial world including banks’ and ‘public enterprises, government-affiliated organizations’, respectively about a question which asks what institutions are proper as main agents of operating the system in Korea. According to these results, the financial world and public organizations instead of private enterprises have to play the leading role to activate the system in Korea.
Fourth, 70.2% of respondents responded that they will use this system, if it is enforced in the institutions of their choice, which even in our country it may root in future. 64.3% of whole respondents had some sympathy with opinions that it is necessary to activate it in Korea, which despite the enforcement of it, even real estate agents of the most contact were reluctant to use it without having a proper perception. Given that the use of it has been inhibited by distorted perceptions without having correct information regarding the contents of it, the use of it may be activated when the legal system is improved in consideration of an active promotion of it and the practice of domestic real estate transaction.
According to above findings, this study improved the understanding of the Escrow system and the reliability of activation method by dividing the activation factors of the Escrow system by real estate agents to select the survey method, compared to the existing precedent studies' survey on the public or real estate agents. The part of recommendation clause needs to be revised as the compulsion clause under the current law, and the government, associations and financial institutions have to provide an institutional strategy for the cultivation of the Escrow experts, so that this system can be rooted and activated as soon as possible to prevent a growing accident when a real estate transaction even in our country.
