Leave the rental or sale of your property to us! Not sure whether to rent or sell? Don't worry! We'll provide you with an appraisal report and help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option. We assist with both long-term and short-term property rentals to suit your needs
For owners who wish to rent
Feel free to consult with us on any matter. We’ll begin with an appraisal and discuss the advantages and disadvantages based on your specific circumstances. We also offer guidance on renting out your property in Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama, whether as long-term rentals, private accommodations, or ryokan-style lodgings.
1. Consultation
SmileHome Inc. provides client-tailored property management services. We provide comprehensive services to meet the needs of property owners, such as recruiting tenants, collecting rent, managing and maintaining property, non-rental usage of properties, and managing taxes for owners living overseas. We also provide services in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese, in addition to Japanese.
2. Proposing Rental Prices
We will determine an accurate rental price for your property that is in accordance with its market value. Based on comprehensive market research, we will propose the most appropriate price. If renovation work is required, we will prepare an estimate of its future value, as well as hiring and supervising a contractor to carry out the work.
3. Property Marketing
We will develop a marketing strategy for your property using our real estate search platform and network of contacts. We can also assist you with corporate housing.
4. Preview, Negotiation, and Tenant Screening
We negotiate transactions to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. We achieve high rental rates with minimal risk to our tenants.
5. Conclusion of Contract
A real estate agent will conduct the legal work. We prepare invoices for rent, security deposits, and other contractual payments on behalf of the owner.
6. Tenant Support
We will coordinate with service providers to assess the condition of the property after repairs are completed, as well as for internet, cable TV, and other utility services. While the tenant is living in the property, the manager will respond to any complaints (damage, problems, etc.). We will communicate with foreigners in their native language as much as possible, and strive to maintain a positive relationship with our tenants by meeting their requests.
7. Representing the Owner
We will handle all matters related to the property on behalf of the owner. Our property managers will handle any problems that arise. For instance, we will remind the tenant of unpaid rent, bill the tenant for repairs and utilities, and store and manage spare keys. When necessary, we will hire and supervise contractors to conduct repairs and maintenance work.
8. Tenant Move-out
When a tenant moves out, the property manager will handle the tenant's move-out and restoration process. We will calculate the security deposit refund, make necessary repairs, and restore the property to its original condition.
