- If you are a foreigner wishing to buy your dream house in Japan, then Taka-san is the best I recommend!
Myself with no knowledge of how things work here in Japan in real estate, Taka-san helped me from scratch and guided me in the entire process.
Dealing with banks with very little Japanese language proficiency was a big hurdle for me, however with him being on my side, everything went smoothly, he talked to banks on my behalf and even translated documents as and when needed.
Thank you Taka-san for finding my dream home in Tokyo🙏

- One of our dreams once we came to Japan was having a house in Japan.
Unfortunately, we were having difficulties learning Japanese.
On the other hand, loan procedures are long and all described in Japanese, including contracts, loan information and details.
We reached Taka-San for advice and he helped us a lot in all that procedures, including negotiating with sellers and understanding what is needed to be done from the bank and seller sides and guided us through them.
Every step we felt supported and tended to ask him a lot of questions and he was very patient and supportive.
During our house search period he was also able to understand our needs and look for candidate houses which almost match our needs to satisfy us.
We are very grateful for the support he gave and definitely we recommend others to deal with him.

- Takafumi Obata is basically a life saver – he is pro-active, diligent, methodical and very experienced !
I had an unprofitable investment property in Sapporo which was going nowhere after 2 years of listing it “for sale” with my local property manager whilst the monthly repair costs continued to increase.
He calmly listened and sympathized to my situation and the desirable outcome, travelled four times to Sapporo, met with over a dozen local property brokers to build a network and researched the pricing for similar properties and then formulated a way to shift the property within the desired time frame. His plan went relatively smoothly and although it took a little longer than initially anticipated, now my headache is gone!
Taka-San – You are a real gem! I’ve sold my property and made a new friend. Thank you !

- Obata-san helped us look for our dream house for almost a year.
From deciding on an area, narrowing down our choices, and keeping tabs on the house market, his experience was invaluable.
He sat down and explained every contract, from the initial negotiation to the final settlement, and is even still helping us out afterwards.
We felt quite secure in his hands.

- I would like to thank Taka san with all his help in my move from Japan.
Throughout the whole process I really felt that Taka san really cared about me and my family and went above and beyond in selling my home.
Not only did I get my asking price in a very short period of time, but he helped me dispose of all the leftover household items, cancel my internet service and continued to be there when needed even after I left Japan.
I would highly recommend Taka san to anyone looking to sell their home.

- Taka is everything you could need in a real estate agent.
He successfully helped sell my house for me and he made the entire process smooth, easy to understand and also enjoyable.
What sets Taka apart above other agents is that he goes the extra mile to get things done, is extremely helpful and is always there to support and answer any questions.
He made extra effort to make sure that my house was very presentable for the sale, he coordinated all of the house cleaning procedures and even personally helped with the gardening in order to make it look nice!
He is more than an agent, he became a friend.
Highly recommended, 10 out of 10!
Ben from England
- We were set on buying a house in a specific area which limited our options, and in the end it took us about a year to find one that worked for us.
Taka-san was exceedingly patient throughout the entire process.
He drove us around all over Tokyo to houses, plots of land, show rooms, architects, etc. giving honest advice, even when it meant it would have to further delay making a purchase.
Being an expert in the basics of construction, the market and the process Taka-san was able to take care of the hundreds of little things that need to be done when buying a house, leaving us with just some documents to gather and forms to sign.
He was incredibly helpful, whether or not it had anything to do with buying a house.
He even came to the ward office to help us with the complicated process of registering our baby!
I highly recommend Taka-san, especially to anyone who needs help with the Japanese.
Chris and Inga from USA
- Obata-san is the best real estate agent you could wish for.
He did not only help us to visit houses, he also took care of arranging the loan, translating everything for us, organizing briefings before important appointments, investigated the construction, dealt with handymen, helped us set utilities and supported us with the final inspection of our rental.
He was available night and day to soothe our worries and answer our questions.
He helped a friend in need to look for rentals too, even though this was not his usual line of business, and has been incredibly helpful to her too.
What’s more, he did so with a smile and genuine kindness.
During the months we spent working together on this house hunt, Obata-san was a real support to us.
We are grateful to have met him and warmly recommend him to any foreigner looking to settle in Tokyo.
