Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

General Services

What kind of real estate company is Acuze?

Based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, we specialize in niche real estate markets that typical brokers avoid. Our services include off-market premium property transactions, tax optimization through aged wooden buildings (22+ years old), and purchasing hard-to-sell land. With 40 years of IT industry experience, our licensed real estate agent leverages AI for efficient, technology-driven services.

Is the consultation free?

Yes, initial consultations are free. We're happy to answer any questions about property searches, sales inquiries, tax optimization strategies, or any other real estate matters. Please feel free to contact us through our inquiry form.

What areas do you cover?

We primarily serve central Tokyo, focusing on Minato-ku and Shibuya-ku. For premium properties, we cover the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. For aged wooden buildings used for tax optimization, we can assist nationwide.

Off-Market Properties (7VIP)

What are off-market properties?

Off-market properties are not listed on REINS (Real Estate Information Network System) and are not publicly available. High-value properties (hundreds of millions to tens of billions of yen) where sellers prefer "quiet transactions" are only circulated through trusted, limited channels. Through our proprietary property information network, we provide access to these rare property opportunities.

What kind of information does 7VIP provide?

7VIP covers off-market real estate insights in Minato-ku, sharing real stories about high-value property transactions and decision-making processes. Properties are presented as anonymous specs (overview without specific location details). If you're interested, full details are disclosed after signing a Confidentiality Agreement (CA).

Can only corporations purchase these properties?

No, individual buyers are also welcome. Our clients include asset management companies, real estate funds, corporations, and high-net-worth individual investors.

4-Year Depreciation Navi (4navi.jp)

What is 4-year depreciation?

The statutory useful life of wooden buildings in Japan is 22 years. When you purchase a wooden apartment over 22 years old, you can depreciate the entire building cost over just 4 years using the simplified method. This is an effective tax optimization strategy for high-income individuals and corporations.

What kind of properties do you list?

4navi.jp specializes in wooden apartments and buildings over 22 years old. We carefully select properties based on occupancy rates, yields, and location. We also offer tax accountant referral services.

How much tax can I save?

Tax savings vary depending on property price, land-to-building ratio, and your income situation. For specific simulations, please contact us and we'll calculate the figures in cooperation with our partner tax accountants.

Rainbow Land Assessment (7tochi.jp)

What types of land do you handle?

We specialize in "hard-to-sell land" that other companies have rejected. This includes leasehold land, non-rebuildable properties, unregistered inherited properties, land with old buildings, remote properties, and irregular-shaped lots (flag lots, oddly shaped parcels).

Does Acuze buy the land itself?

No. We are a brokerage-only firm with no inventory, so we never act as the buyer. Rainbow Land Assessment is an assessment and consultation desk; we introduce sellers to our partner agents. We select those partners on the condition that they do not use high-pressure sales tactics.

Can I consult without giving my name?

Yes. Rainbow Land Assessment offers anonymous consultation — no name, phone number, or email address required. It is used by people who are not yet ready to tell their family, and by those who have experienced high-pressure sales from real estate companies in the past.

Is the assessment free?

Yes, assessments are free. Submit through our 60-second quick assessment form and we'll provide your valuation results.

About the Company

Do you have a real estate license?

Yes, we hold Tokyo Metropolitan Governor License No. (1) 112235. We are also members of the All Japan Real Estate Association and the Real Estate Guarantee Association, ensuring safe and reliable transactions.

What is the representative's background?

Our representative, Takaharu Saito, transitioned to real estate after working at a condominium developer and planning and managing real estate investment seminars. He writes all articles for our three real estate web media platforms. With 40 years of engineering experience, he developed the world's first mouseover multilingual dictionary app and received the Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award Special Prize (METI Minister Award, 2011). His paper was accepted at the JSAI National Conference 2026 'AI and Real Estate' session.

What does "IT × Real Estate" mean?

We leverage cutting-edge technology including AI to improve the efficiency and sophistication of our real estate services. With productivity that accomplishes 100 person-months of development in 3 months, we single-handedly operate specialized service sites (4navi.jp, 7tochi.jp, 7vip.tokyo).

Do you hold inventory?

No. We are a brokerage-only firm with no inventory. Our lean team leverages AI-powered rapid web development and focuses exclusively on high-value premium properties in Minato-ku. This high-unit-price model allows us to generate strong returns through brokerage alone, without the need for a large sales force.

How do you select your partners?

In a word: integrity. We don't just look for impressive mission statements—we look for companies that demonstrate honesty in their daily dealings. Respecting exclusive agency agreements, following through on purchase offers, handling information responsibly, and never pressuring clients into rushed decisions. We partner only with firms that practice these fundamentals consistently.
