Our bilingual team engages the appropriate licensed agent and checks whether the listing deserves more of your time and money. We may confirm: - Availability - Current price - Ownership type - Rebuildability - Verified address - Important agent notes - Whether the seller and listing agent are open to a foreign buyer - Early price changes, buyer restrictions, or other friction We start the relationship in Japanese so the licensed agent sees a serious, prepared overseas buyer represented by a local bilingual team, not a cold inquiry. Annual members receive one Basic Property Inquiry credit. Monthly members can add inquiries when needed. ## Get a team aligned with you We take: - No commission from agents or sellers - No kickbacks from agents or sellers - Membership fees from buyers - Fixed fees for property-specific services buyers request Whether you buy a JPY 3 million akiya or a JPY 30 million house does not change what we earn from the property price. That lets us focus on your best outcome, including telling you to walk away or choose a smaller property. ### Work with one bilingual point of contact AkiyaHub is owned and operated by Kintsugi Group GK, a Japanese company in Tokyo. We: - Coordinate buyer-side licensed partners and seller-side licensed agents across Japan - Provide English companion guidance alongside Japanese legal originals - Let you communicate with one bilingual team while we coordinate the Japan side General strategy and platform guidance are included with membership. Property-specific licensed-agent coordination is separate and billed only when used, except where an included credit applies. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need to live in Japan or speak Japanese? No. Most members live overseas and do not speak Japanese. Use the platform in English while our bilingual team handles Japanese-side communication and document flow, with English companion guidance where needed. ### Can I use AkiyaHub for a vacation home or investment property? Yes. Tell us whether you want a vacation home, primary residence, or income property. Your Market Match, tools, content, and guidance adapt to that goal. ### Is it too early for membership? If you have a realistic budget and want to own within the next one to two years, membership can turn random research into a plan. If you do not yet have a budget or timeline, start free. ### What is included, and what costs extra? Every membership includes full platform access and 3 Property Intelligence credits. Annual members also receive one Basic Property Inquiry credit. Deeper research, viewings, and transaction coordination are separate pay-as-you-go services. ### Can I buy without higher-priced services? Yes. Use the membership tools and add only the lower-cost services you need. Done-for-you support is optional. ### Why charge for membership? We do not rely on commission or seller kickbacks. You pay membership and fixed service fees so we can work toward your best outcome instead of maximizing a sale price. ### How much does membership cost? Pay $25 per month with monthly billing or $228 per year with annual billing, equivalent to $19 per month. Both plans renew automatically and can be canceled from your account. ## Important limitations 1. **Property Intelligence:** Our proprietary fair-market scoring reflects AkiyaHub's interpretation of market data. It is not a formal appraisal or valuation. 2. **Property Viewings:** Viewings provide visual documentation only. They are not professional home inspections. 3. **Comprehensive Reports:** Reports provide detailed pre-contract research, not the binding Important Matters Explanation required at contract. 4. **Companion guides:** English companion guides and context accompany legal originals. They are not certified translations and do not constitute legal advice. 5. **Platform role:** AkiyaHub is an advisory and support platform, not a real estate brokerage. We do not provide brokerage, legal, financial, appraisal, or certified translation services. 6. Additional licensed-agent coordination and property-specific services are not included in the base subscription except where a stated credit applies. 7. Property availability, pricing, investment return, financing, renovation cost, immigration outcome, and transaction success are not guaranteed. 8.
