Step 2: Choose a licensed real estate agent
A licensed real estate agent in Japan will:
- Market your property
- Communicate with buyers
- Handle negotiations
- Prepare legal documents
Working with an English-speaking professional is highly recommended.
Step 3: Sign a sales agreement
This agreement allows the agent to represent you.
In many cases, documents can be signed remotely.
Identity verification may be required.
Step 4: Complete the legal transfer
A judicial scrivener (legal specialist) will handle ownership transfer.
This ensures the transaction is legal and secure.
Overseas sellers can complete this process without being physically present in Japan.
