I have about five years experience in the real estate business. In the past four years, I've worked as an agent for buying, selling and leasing property, as well as a property manager. I believe that it's rare for a Japanese real estate agent to have provided all of these services to foreigners. I also have two years experience studying and working for a local company in Toronto, Canada. Moreover, I run another company which acts as an agent for students studying abroad. We also sell original okonomiyaki sauce among other products and services.
