Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Do I need a visa to buy property in Japan?

No. Foreigners can legally purchase property in Japan without holding a visa or residency status. If you're considering relocation, I can also connect you with professionals who specialize in visa and immigration matters.

Can overseas buyers get a mortgage in Japan?

In most cases, overseas buyers purchase property with cash. Mortgage options for non-residents are limited, though some alternatives may be available depending on your circumstances.

Are you a licensed real estate agent?

I work as an independent consultant, helping clients understand the process, evaluate opportunities, and coordinate with licensed professionals when required.

How long does the purchasing process take?

Timelines vary depending on the property and circumstances, but many transactions can be completed within a few weeks to a few months.

What does your consulting service include?

My consulting service can include property search guidance, due diligence support, communication assistance, local coordination, purchase planning, and recommendations for trusted professionals.
