[Dispatch=Reporter Lee Myeong-gu] "It is no longer the time to admire real estate success stories or tales of the wealthy." A practical field entrepreneur who has carried out approximately 90 projects in the real estate development market. Heo Yun-kyung, Executive Director of RD Asset Management Co., Ltd. and REDPMC Co., Ltd., has published a theory book. 'Real Estate Economics of People Who Move Spaces' The book is scheduled to be adopted as textbook material at several universities starting next semester. It was co-written with Professor Kim Ji-hyun, a real estate economist. Director Heo previously garnered attention with 'Small Building Real Estate Investment: A Beginner's Guide,' a practical real estate manual. 'Purchasing a building does not immediately make you a building owner. You can only become a true building owner by establishing a professional system for tenants and efficiently operating the building.' He has captured his philosophy on real estate and practical experience. In 'Real Estate Economics of People Who Move Spaces,' Director Heo emphasizes 'real estate assets for myself.' Rather than relying on luck and following others, you should establish your own direction and view real estate accordingly. Even if small, you must design an asset structure that can take root and hold firm. Director Heo advises, "Strategy and choices based on your own standards become the right path only when the fundamentals are in place. From then on, you can continue somewhat stable asset management." This philosophy is directly reflected in his business approach. He does not merely stay in brokerage, construction, or management. He comprehensively analyzes data, practical experience, and the environment of the owner. Through this, he places greater emphasis on helping clients make optimal decisions when facing crossroads of selling, holding, or valuing up (new construction or remodeling) their real estate assets. 'Huh-dang' is the pen name of Heo Yun-kyung. Why would a real estate development entrepreneur pursuing a doctoral degree choose such a pen name? He says it carries the meaning of 'building solidly from the lowest foundation.' Director Heo explained, "Outside of work, I'm a person with clear mental limits. I'm not that meticulous and there are many things I miss in life. It's a name born from acknowledging myself." Though it appears as an expression of humility, it contains the philosophy of a real estate entrepreneur. It is one reason he has survived for so long in the intense market of Seoul's Gangnam. "In Gangnam, expertise is a given premise. If there is no expertise, investors won't pay fair compensation." "What comes next is what matters. Expertise is the basics, and then handling facility repairs that investors avoid, resolving disputes with tenants, PM (project management) work for new development—properly handling these roles cleanly according to investors' needs is essential." There is another reason he deliberately positions himself humbly. Director Heo explains, "If I seem burdensome in conversations or business relationships, people would find it difficult to approach me easily. It would also be uncomfortable for them to open up about their true investment direction or innermost thoughts. By approaching with a low stance, I can hear the real story." "When I first lower my stance, people then reveal their true feelings. Whether they are business partners I work with or investors who first sought me out, it's the same." The pen name 'Huh-dang' lowered the other party's guard. As relationships continued, over time they came to recognize the sincerity. Ultimately, it was the most important seed capital for building deep trust relationships.
