The average selling timeline in Japan generally ranges from three to six months, depending on factors like location, property type, pricing, and market demand. Properties in prime resort areas or central Tokyo can attract offers more quickly due to strong buyer interest. At H2 Christie’s International Real Estate, we start with a careful market analysis and tailored marketing plan to make the sale as efficient as possible while maximizing your return.

We maintain transparent, competitive commission structures in line with Japan’s industry standards. Typically, our commissions are (3% + 60,000JPY) plus consumption tax for both buyer or seller representation. Once a purchase price has been agreed upon by you and the Vendor, there will be additional costs – Purchase Related Costs. Before listing, we provide a clear breakdown of all associated costs so you can proceed with complete confidence, no hidden charges, no surprises, just professional service with integrity.

No, you do not need to be physically present. Our team can manage the entire process remotely, including documentation, marketing, negotiations, and settlement, through power of attorney (POA) arrangements. We coordinate with trusted legal and notarial partners to ensure overseas transactions are handled securely and efficiently, so you can sell your property from anywhere in the world.
