MY SERVICES

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or searching for a luxury property in
Tokyo — local expertise with English-language support.

The support international
clients Rely on.

01

Full English Support

Navigating Tokyo's real estate market in a foreign language adds unnecessary stress to an already complex process. Every conversation and negotiation is handled entirely in English — so nothing gets lost in translation.

02

Tailored for International Buyers

Buying property in Japan as a foreigner involves unique challenges — from financing hurdles to legal requirements that differ from your home country. I provide clear, personalized guidance so you fully understand every step before you commit.

03

Post-Purchase Support

My support doesn't stop at closing. Whether you need help with property management, setting up rental income, or planning your eventual resale, I remain available to overseas owners long after the transaction is complete.

GLOBAL CLIENTS

Working with clients
around the world.

Having lived and worked in both Tokyo and New York, I understand how

to communicate across cultures, bridge different perspectives, and make the real estate process clear and comfortable for clients from around the world.

"True professional. I have closed 3 JP properties with Aki-san, and in each Aki-san has gone above and beyond to help us through the process, help us understand what we are buying, and close the deal. Aki-san can conduct fluently in both JP and ENG, and is familiar with end to end processes in multiple areas (rental, purchase, sales, loans, etc). At this point, having Aki-san to support is requirement for me in JP real estate deals."

She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free.
