Being a real estate agent in Japan requires qualifications, which is clearly reflected in Japan's "business license".
Japanese business license is called business exemption, which is the format for the real estate industry.
Allowable grade+number+serial number
For example, the exemption number of Dongning Real Estate is: Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (1) No.9428.
1, "Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism" is a level that is not allowed, and most intermediaries are at the local level similar to "Governor of Tokyo". You can go door to door if you don't believe me.
2. "(1)" is actually a representative rank. For example, the governor of Tokyo (2) has a better reputation than the governor of Tokyo (1).
This is assessed by the Japanese government, which is directly reflected in the exemption and promotion of business, but it needs the unremitting efforts of the whole company for many years, so it is definitely more valuable than publicity and boasting. It can be said that an exemption number is worth a thousand words.
The high level of exemption shows that this intermediary has accumulated certain resources, services and reputation in the Japanese real estate agency market, so buying a house in Japan is more trustworthy.
