Kaz was very patient in helping us find places to go look even though we were not sure where or what we really wanted. He knows Tokyo well and understood how to fit our needs. The whole process was smooth and quick from start to finish and we were able to find a place we really like.

While looking for an apartment in Tokyo as a foreigner can quickly become troublesome, the help of Kaz-san made it smooth and efficient. Kaz-san is really a great support, English friendly and responsive in any situation. Highly recommended.

If you are looking to get things done when it comes to property/apartment searching, and you are looking for excellent customer service and execution all in English (or Japanese), Kaz is your guy. Very quick, responsive and attentive. Thanks again for the help, glad we could close on the new apartment so quickly.

We were very pleased with our experience here. Kaz is extremely professional, understands the Tokyo market, and empathizes with the difficulties foreign residents face when renting homes in Japan. With his assistance we have happily settled into a beautiful, affordable apartment that meets all of our needs! We will always recommend him to our friends in the future!

I really recommend Kaz, he was patient and did his best to find the perfect place for me. He can translate everything if needed so no worries if you don't speak Japanese.

I have great experience working with Kaz. I especially appreciated his response time and how quickly we closed the deal. Any question I had, he answered very fast and proficient. I will be happy to work again with Kaz for my next apartment hunt.

Getting an apartment in Japan is a complex and byzantine process. Most problems back in the states can be solved by spending more money, but that doesn't apply here. Unless you're proficient in Japanese, DIY is not going to save you money. You'll probably see no fee apartments on the classified pages and think you can Google translate the whole way. You need a professional. I was nonchalant about the apartment search, then ran into crunch time, and Kaz saved the day.
I'm an engineer and I really appreciated how effective Kaz was. He iterates quickly. You show up for a 1-1 consultation, specify some parameters for your apartment, and he will quickly narrowly down relevant entries. The next day he will give you a tour of a few of those places. It's rare to find a real estate agent that is as fluent in English, and the small talk is a nice bonus. That said, the process is no frills.
I'm a tech savvy person, but again, don't waste time going to the classified and thinking you can filter and curate yourself. For starters, some buildings in more local neighborhoods aren't thrilled to onboard a foreigner. Even if they did, the language barrier is huge. There's dozens of paperwork in the process, the risk with Google translation is not worth it. Finally, a professional real estate agent has the latest up-to-date rental availability on a special database whereas the public classified pages are likely stale and not updated. The market moves quick here, things can be gone in a few days, so that delayed / old data is huge. Conversely, Kaz can show you properties not yet on those sites.
