We are now just over a week post settlement on our place in Otaru and have no hesitation in giving a 5 star review to Yuki Homes. This is the longest review I've ever done but buying a house in another country is an experience! Our first contact was with Derek who was really patient with our questions, listened and helped us think about a location that could work for our differing needs (ie: skiers/non skiers and all year round destinations). After signing up, the search process was thorough and proactive, with a lot of the market nuances explained clearly to us. The video tours were excellent (thank you Ryu).

These guys are great. They made the whole process of buying in Japan so easy. I was able to make it happen from my home in Alaska. The communication was fabulous and they always answered all my questions promptly. The whole team was really easy to work with. Way easier than I thought the process would be. If you want to buy in Japan this it the team to work with all the way from start to finish.

Derek and the team are doing a great job. We are still hunting for the right property but I know the team will keep looking until we do.

The team provided outstanding experience while assisting me with my property in Japan. Their process is exceptionally well-structured, straightforward and stress-free. They were highly accommodating to my schedule, even arranging property viewings at short notice when I informed them I would be in Japan the following week. Through their professionalism, I was able to secure a property that exceeded my expectations and stay under budget. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction set them apart. I would confidently recommend Yuki Homes to anyone looking to purchase in Japan.

I had an amazing experience with Yuki Homes! Derek was great to work with super knowledgeable, patient, and always quick to respond to my (many) questions. He really went the extra mile to help me understand the local market and find a property that checked all my boxes. If you're looking to buy a home in Japan, especially something a bit off the beaten path, I highly recommend reaching out to Derek and the team at Yuki Homes.

In specific, Nick and his team have been super responsive and detail oriented in throughout the process - which you can imagine is required and comforting when looking to purchase abroad. I also appreciate the portal's ability to view how different residential areas are zoned. This is much appreciated and I look forward to continuing the process.
