Real Estate Japan is pleased to present the online version of our popular series of seminars on buying your dream home in Japan.

For this session, we’re honored to be partnering for the first time with RE/MAX Amistad IREA K.K., a bilingual real estate brokerage based in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

In this seminar, we will cover the basics of buying a home, including:

  • Real estate market trends
  • Interest rates
  • Financing options based on your visa status
  • Government subsidies to help you with a home purchase
  • Tax benefits and tax deductions
  • How to negotiate the purchase price

This seminar is designed for foreign residents of Japan, but our partner RE/MAX Amistad IREA K.K. is also able to provide assistance to overseas residents who are interested in buying a home in Japan. They specialize in properties in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, among other areas.

Q&A session will be held at the end of the online seminar

Make sure to take notes of questions you have during the seminar, as we will hold a Q&A session at the end. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the home buying process and get first-hand expert advice!

Private consultations are available by appointment

For a private consultation, please indicate that you would like to request an appointment on the registration form. A consultant from RE/MAX Amistad IREA K.K. will contact you.

They are able to offer personalized consultation, including the following.

  • Property information from REINS (the Japanese version of the Multiple Listing Service) as well as additional information from local agents.
  • Consulting with banks to find out how much you can borrow.
  • Provide Income/Expenditure spreadsheets for properties you are interested in, including costs involved in finding tenants.

The seminar is free, but attendance is limited to 30 participants and previous seminars have filled up quickly.
