At NHES, we believe transparency and legal integrity are the foundation of trust. Below is a clear explanation of our service scope under Japanese law, so you know exactly what we do — and what we do not do.
We do not sell property, broker deals, or assign official property values. All real estate transactions are conducted exclusively through certified and licensed Japanese real estate agencies.
What We Provide
NHES offers strategic cultural and structural support throughout the homefinding journey:
- Property analysis reports based on publicly available data and proprietary algorithms
- Strategic matching of clients to homes aligned with lifestyle, cultural fit, and risk factors
- Cultural onboarding for clients: etiquette, neighborhood roles, seasonal customs
- Renovation and restoration guidance with certified Japanese craftsmen
- Translated insights into Japanese heritage and architectural values
What We Do Not Do
- We do not act as brokers or middlemen in real estate transactions
- We do not assign property market values or provide certified appraisals
- We do not represent either party in the sale or purchase of property
- We do not handle financial transactions or escrow services
Our Role as Cultural Concierge
Our mission is to act as a cultural and strategic concierge, helping international clients integrate respectfully into traditional Japanese communities while working cooperatively with certified agents and local governments.
NHES bridges cultures with respect, intelligence, and legal integrity.
We guide your journey — we don't handle your transaction.
Legal Compliance
NHES operates in full compliance with Japanese real estate law (宅地建物取引業法) and maintains clear boundaries between consulting services and regulated real estate activities. Our partnerships with licensed Japanese agencies ensure all transactions meet legal requirements.
