Anyone have experience with or information about the real estate company “First Step – Japan”?

As the title says – looking for any reviews or feedback on this company if anyone has any experience.

Looks like a legit and reputable company, but independent first-hand information is always appreciated.

  1. I mean just in case no one else has an experience with a company that has 24 5-star reviews: they have not posted in their blog since Jan 19 (they seem to have gaps after new year, but last year March was a post). they offer three things (buy/rent/short-term), but the actual links are for rent and if you are a property owner.

    The renting search base offers nothing under 100,000 JPY. are you comfortable with that price range?

    are you in Japan? (i think you are) then, you might find better services elsewhere (personally I use Suumo in Japanese, but UR housing is also often praised for English service).

    do you speak Japanese?

    do you want to rent or buy?

    they seem to be specialized for military (as the rent link and showings “base contract” suggest) – is that for you?

    you might find better advice in the subreddits for Japanfinance and Japanlife

  2. I’m not sure. It looks pretty legit but depends what you are looking for? It can’t hurt reaching out and seeing If they are a good fit?

    If you’re looking for something around / over 500k per month in Tokyo pls message me and I will hook you up with an absolute legend that will help you find something awesome, no Japanese speaking required and specialises in Expat lux cribs!!!
