Ask a questionYes, we are a licensed real estate agency based in Osaka. We operate as a direct, fully authorized realtor—not as intermediaries—ensuring transparency and reliability in all transactions. Our official license number is: 大阪府知事（1）第64927号.
Yes, we provide multilingual support to accommodate both local and international clients. Approximately half of our clientele comes from abroad. Our team assists in English, French, and Japanese, and offers clear guidance on both the practical and cultural aspects of the Japanese real estate market—from selecting the right neighborhood in Osaka to understanding lease agreements and setting up utilities.
Our website showcases a curated selection of available properties for rent and purchase. However, many high-quality opportunities are secured quickly or offered off-market. To access the most up-to-date listings and exclusive opportunities, we recommend contacting us directly. Our team is highly responsive and provides real-time updates.
Yes, foreigners can purchase property in Japan without any residency requirements. There is no need to hold Japanese citizenship, speak the language, or possess a residence visa. Japan imposes no legal restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate, including both land and buildings. However, we strongly recommend professional guidance to ensure a smooth and secure transaction process.
Alan was very helpful in finding a place. Found a nice well situated apartment in a couple of weeks. He was communicative and friendly the whole process.
I contacted Maido Estate to find an apartment in Osaka during my Working Holiday. Alan was very responsive and professional. I quickly found a place in [neighborhood] that matched exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend this real estate agency to anyone looking to rent in Osaka.
Alan's been incredibly helpful. I'm in a tricky situation: a foreigner with two cats. Instead of discouraging me, he offered many options since day one. He found a flat in the area that I liked the most, inside my budget and helped me with every doubt through all the process (and I had a lot, since I still cant speak japanese, and he's totally fluent of course). In less than a month, I'm living in the perfect flat for me, an amazing place that accepts my two cats without any extra fee!!!! Extremelly patient and kind. Always available for an emergency. His service is worth every yen. Thank you so much!
We highly recommend Alan! We discovered that it's much more efficient to use an agent who lives directly in the desired area: while an agent in Tokyo couldn't find us anything suitable in a month and a half, Alan, who lives in Osaka, found us a place in just one day. He helped us find the perfect apartment that accepted our two dogs, which is usually very difficult. Alan is extremely responsive: he offered us a property half a day after our initial contact, and we were able to view it the very next day. He also brilliantly handled the discussions with the property management company to ensure our pets were allowed. Impeccable, fast, and local service!
