Expert Knowledge of Tokyo’s Luxury Market
Selling property in Tokyo requires deep understanding of the city’s unique real estate landscape. Housing Japan specializes in luxury properties across Tokyo’s most sought-after neighborhoods, from the prestigious towers of Minato-ku to Exclusive Standalone Luxury Villas in Shibuya. This focused expertise means we know exactly how to position your property to attract the right buyers.
Over our 25 years in the industry, our team has developed deep insights into what makes Tokyo real estate special. We know which features matter most to luxury buyers, and what international clients look for when investing in Tokyo properties. This quarter-century of experience translates directly into better outcomes for sellers.
Tokyo’s luxury market moves differently than other segments. Buyers in this category have specific expectations about quality, location, and amenities. Our experience with high-end properties means we can highlight what makes your home stand out in this competitive market.
Comprehensive Marketing Strategy
Getting maximum exposure for your property requires more than just listing it online. Housing Japan uses a multi-channel approach that reaches both domestic and international buyers. Our marketing strategy includes professional photography that showcases your property’s best features, detailed descriptions in both Japanese and English, strategic placement across relevant platforms and an expansive EDM (Electronic Direct Mail) with over 21,000 interested clients that have already registered their interest in Japanese real estate.
Our carefully managed database includes over 21,000 prospective and established clients with genuine interest in Japanese real estate. We regularly update this list to maintain quality, removing inactive contacts to ensure your property reaches engaged buyers. Many clients on this list have been working with Housing Japan throughout our 25-year history, creating a loyal network of repeat investors and referral sources. Beyond email marketing, we maintain strong social media presence across multiple platforms, including LinkedIn where we’ve built over 28,000 followers, and active engagement through Meta’s advertising suite and our agents’ professional Instagram accounts.
We create compelling property stories that go beyond basic specifications. This means highlighting lifestyle benefits like proximity to top schools, easy access to business districts, or stunning views that make daily life special. These details help potential buyers imagine themselves living in your home.
Our international network is particularly valuable for luxury properties. Many high-end buyers in Tokyo are expatriates or investors from overseas. Over 25 years, we’ve built connections that mean your property gets seen by qualified buyers who might not find it otherwise.

Although there are no laws against foreigners selling or buying property in Japan, Selling property involves complex paperwork, legal requirements, and coordination between multiple parties. Housing Japan handles every aspect of the transaction process, making the experience smooth and stress-free for sellers. This includes managing all documentation, coordinating inspections, and ensuring compliance with Japanese real estate regulations.

Timing is critical in real estate transactions. Our project management approach keeps everything on schedule, from initial listing through final closing. We coordinate with lawyers, banks, and other professionals to prevent delays that could affect your sale.

For foreign investors, we offer complete end-to-end service that covers buying, managing, renting out, and selling properties through our comprehensive property management service.

We understand the unique circumstances expats encounter, from visa considerations to international money transfers, and can guide both buyers and sellers through these complexities.
Our buyer qualification process ensures that people viewing your property are serious and financially capable. This reduces disruption to your daily life and increases the likelihood of receiving strong offers. We pre-screen buyers to verify their financing and timeline before scheduling showings.
Many of our buyers are repeat clients or referrals from previous transactions. After 25 years in business, this trust-based relationship often leads to smoother negotiations and faster closings, as buyers know they can rely on our expertise and service quality. This anniversary year highlights the depth of relationships we’ve built across Tokyo’s luxury market.
