From Dreaming to Owning: Your Japan Home Buying Journey, Demystified

Hey there,

So, you’ve been thinking about buying a home in Japan, maybe your chasing powder or looking to lounge on a beach, or maybe you just love Japan and don’t care where you buy a home (you’d be surprised how many people fall into this category)

But what’s the actual process? Is it complicated? Expensive? Full of red tape?

Good news: it’s surprisingly simple (at least the way we do it). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how we help our clients go from “curious” to “holding the keys to their very own home in Japan.”

Step 1: The Free Consultation

We start with a no-strings-attached 30-minute consultation. Ask us anything, taxes, legal stuff, recommendations on where we think the next hotspot will be. We’ll walk you through how it all works. And yes, I know it sounds to good to be true, 20,000 Dollar homes in a safe wealthy country, but there is no catch

Step 2: The House Hunt Begins

Based on your budget and location preferences, we’ll send you a list of solid options.

We skip the homes with legal red flags, structural nightmares, or roofs made of cardboard. You're only getting homes we’d buy ourselves.

Step 3: Didn’t Fall in Love? No Problem.

Didn’t click with any of the first-round picks? Cool. We keep sending more until something clicks. We’re basically your real estate dating app.

Step 4: Tours You Can Trust

Once we narrow it down, we’ll give you a live virtual tour and send you the video after for more analysis.

Want us to poke the walls? Smell the tatami? Done. Or if you’re flying in, we’ll set up in-person viewings.

Step 5: Offer Time

You’ve found the one. We make the offer, and if the seller accepts, we go over the contract with you live, on video chat, with real translations with our bilingual partners.

You’ll sign and send an earnest money deposit to lock it in.

Step 6: Legal Final Check

Two weeks before closing, we meet with the judicial scrivener or lawyer to make sure everything’s airtight. Can’t be there in person? You give us power of attorney, and we handle closing on your behalf.

Step 7: You Own a Home in Japan

Closing day! You’re officially a homeowner in Japan. We’ll either ship you the keys… or meet you at a local izakaya for a celebratory beer. Your treat (Just kidding)
