Residential services cover condominium and single-family home brokerage plus luxury residential development, with investment advisory involving Korean banks, U.S. brokerage and ongoing property management. Post-investment asset and facility management includes lease and tenant management, facility maintenance, local corporate accounting and tax compliance, and foreign exchange reporting in Korea.
