Your approval comes first
Locali does not begin paid verification, make a booking, or take any additional payment without your explicit approval.
How Locali works
Share what matters.
We search Seoul.
See three matched candidates and our reasoning for free, then pay only to verify and unlock.
Your concierge journey
From a free brief to a booked Seoul home.
- 01
Share a free brief
Tell us your dates, budget, daily rhythm, priorities, deal-breakers, and any homes you have already found.

Our Seoul team reviews it
Our Seoul team reviews your brief and replies within 1 business day. If useful, you can align on the details in a free 15-minute intro.
- 03
Receive three free matches
Within 2 business days, review up to 3 candidate profiles, why each fits, honest trade-offs, and your personal Seoul setup guide.
- 04
Choose whether to verify
If the matches feel right, pay the $49 Verify & Unlock retainer. It is credited toward the final 10% fee, with a $200 minimum total fee.
- 05
We check the Korean side
Locali opens the full details and checks live availability, the real total, host terms, and foreign-guest conditions in Korean. One refinement round is included.

Choose and coordinate booking
You approve the final option and quote. Locali then handles Korean-language host communication and booking coordination.

What remains separate
Stay price, deposits, host charges, licensed-broker fees, and optional services are separate unless your proposal says otherwise.
An honest service boundary
Availability and host acceptance are not guaranteed. Regulated brokerage, legal advice, and formal lease negotiation are handled only through appropriately licensed partners.
Common questions
Before you send your brief.
Yes. The brief, three candidate profiles, fit reasons, trade-offs, and personal Seoul setup guide are free. No card is required.
Only if the three free matches feel right and you want exact details and Korean verification. Paid work begins after the $49 retainer and your explicit request.
The $49 retainer is credited dollar-for-dollar toward the final 10% concierge fee. The minimum total concierge fee is $200. Stay price and separately disclosed third-party costs are not included in that fee.
Our Seoul team targets a first reply within 1 business day and the free 3-match preview within 2 business days, unless we are waiting for information or the brief changes materially.
The free preview includes up to 3 candidate profiles with fit reasons and trade-offs. Exact availability and final pricing are checked only after Verify & Unlock begins, with 1 refinement round included.
Across Locali’s current stays and selected Korean partner sources that fit the agreed brief. We check the Korean-language details instead of simply forwarding links.
We tell you clearly and discuss the next step. A suitable property, continued availability, and host acceptance cannot be guaranteed. Retainer refunds follow the agreed proposal and Housing Concierge Terms.
No. Locali provides furnished-stay search and booking coordination. Regulated brokerage, legal advice, and formal lease negotiation are referred to or coordinated through appropriately licensed partners under separately disclosed terms.
Your Seoul home starts with a clear brief.
Tell our Seoul team what matters, what cannot change, and where you can be flexible. The initial review is free.
