When looking for a place to live in, like the apartment in Seoul, people would usually go to the location to talk to the homeowner or landlord. Now that there is currently a pandemic and most people prefer to stay at home. How can future tenants search for listings in Seoul without leaving home? Ziptoss now provides a contactless rental service. To avoid having contact during the pandemic, we made a way for you to find your future home during times where traveling would be difficult.

This sudden pandemic has been tough for some of us. With the situation of staying overseas because of travel bans, business professionals and international students have a hard time coping with their current situations.
Ziptoss agents often receive messages such as:
“The house is about to expire and I want to transfer to another place, but I don’t want to walk around often because of the pandemic.”
” I don’t want to stay in an isolation center for a long time. I want to look for an apartment because I don’t have a place to stay and I can’t leave the isolation center yet.”
“I can’t come back to the apartment, can you help me deal with this situation?”
We sign contracts while following the proper protocols with protection(masks, gloves, etc.). To better help everyone through difficult times, we solve the issues of renting homes, for tenants and homeowners. Ziptoss is improving more upgrades of virtual viewing-related services to make it easier for you to choose an apartment, so stay tuned for more updates!
