How Ikei Real Estate Can Help

From renting and buying to investing and selling, we provide support tailored to your goals and circumstances.

Looking for a Rental Apartment

We'll review your workplace, school, family situation, preferred area, rent, floor plan, and other details to suggest properties that meet your criteria.

We’ll provide clear explanations regarding the move-in application, the guarantor company’s screening process, initial fees, contract terms, and the rules for living here after you move in.

Buying a Home

We'll help you find properties—such as condos, single-family homes, and land—that match your preferences and budget.

We provide attentive support every step of the way—from financial planning and comparing properties to viewings, purchase offers, sales contracts, closing, and handover.

Investment Real Estate

Here, we introduce investment condos and other properties in Japan.

We’ll review the rent, management fees, repair reserve fund, taxes, and other anticipated expenses, and provide you with a clear overview of factors that aren’t apparent from the surface yield alone.

Selling Real Estate

We are available to consult with you regarding the sale of condominiums, single-family homes, land, and investment properties you own in Japan.

We provide support for everything from appraisals, sales methods, and the fees and documents required for the sale, to brokerage agreements, purchase and sale agreements, and the closing. Please feel free to contact us even if you are an owner living overseas.

From Consultation to Delivery

The following is a general overview of the process. The specific steps may vary depending on the property, the terms of the contract, and the customer’s circumstances.

If you're looking for a rental home

STEP 1 Inquiries and Confirmation of Preferred Conditions

We will confirm your preferred area, rent, floor plan, number of occupants, desired move-in date, and immigration status.

STEP 2 　Property Listings

We will search for properties that meet your criteria and provide you with property information.

STEP 3: Property Viewing

We’ll take you to see the properties you’re interested in in person. If you’re contacting us from overseas, we’ll send you the property information first.

STEP 4: Tenancy Application and Screening

Prepare the required documents and undergo screening by the landlord, property management company, guarantor company, and other relevant parties.

STEP 5 　Explanation of Important Matters and Contract Signing

A licensed real estate broker will explain the important details to you, and once you have reviewed the terms of the contract and the initial fees, we will sign the lease agreement. We will hand over the keys to you after the contract procedures are complete.

When Purchasing Real Estate

STEP 1 　Inquiries and Financial Planning

We will confirm your purpose for purchasing, preferred area, type of property, budget, down payment, and financing preferences.

STEP 2 　Property Introduction and Comparison

We will introduce properties that match your preferences and compare factors such as price, location, management conditions, and costs.

STEP 3 　Viewing the Property and Submitting a Purchase Offer

After reviewing the property, if you wish to purchase it, you should clarify the terms and submit a purchase application.

STEP 4: Explanation of Important Matters and Sales Contract

A licensed real estate broker will explain the important details regarding the property and the terms of the transaction. After you have reviewed this information, you will sign the purchase agreement and pay the earnest money deposit in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

STEP 5 　Settlement, Registration, and Closing

Upon payment of the remaining balance, we will file the necessary paperwork, such as the application for transfer of title. You will then receive the keys and relevant documents, and the property will be handed over to you.

  • Depending on the property, you may be able to apply to rent without a Japanese guarantor by using a rent guarantee company. However, screening requirements and required documents vary depending on the property, landlord, property management company, and guarantee company.

  • In principle, people living overseas and foreign nationals can purchase real estate in Japan. However, documents such as proof of address, proof of signature, and Japanese translations may be required for the contract and registration procedures. Mortgage eligibility varies by financial institution, so we recommend consulting us early.

  • Foreign nationals may be eligible for a mortgage if they meet a financial institution’s lending criteria. Eligibility varies depending on factors such as permanent resident status, status and period of residence in Japan, income, length of employment, and the amount of funds available for a down payment. We can help you review these requirements and explain how to approach financial institutions. Please note that mortgage approval is not guaranteed.

  • In addition to the property price, purchasing real estate may involve brokerage fees, taxes, registration costs, fire insurance premiums, and financing costs, depending on the property and transaction terms. If you purchase a condominium, ongoing costs such as management fees and repair reserve fund contributions will also apply. We will provide you with an estimate of these costs in advance.

  • No. Purchasing real estate in Japan does not, by itself, qualify you for a status of residence. For specific procedures and requirements concerning status of residence, please consult the Immigration Services Agency of Japan or a qualified administrative scrivener who specializes in immigration matters.
