What It Is

Home Plan（株式会社ホームプラン） is a local real estate and construction/renovation company based in Yamato City, Kanagawa, Japan, established in 1978. According to its website, the company covers real estate sales and purchases, rental brokerage, rental management, and construction work such as interior renovation, exterior walls, roofing, exterior facilities, and leak repairs in Yamato City and the surrounding area.

Key Features

The website lists properties such as newly built detached houses, pre-owned detached homes, and entire apartment buildings, with details including price, transportation access, floor area, land rights, zoning, facilities, mortgage simulations, and inquiry options. Its most notable selling point is “zero brokerage fee for newly built detached houses”: if the seller pays the brokerage fee, the buyer does not need to pay the usual fee of roughly 3% of the property price + 60,000 yen. The company also handles move-out inspections, security deposit settlements, restoration to original condition, rental management, and various residential construction projects, giving it an integrated offering from transaction to maintenance.

Pricing

Properties are sold at their listed individual prices, with the site showing everything from detached homes priced in the tens of millions of yen to investment apartment buildings priced above 100 million yen. For eligible newly built detached houses, the buyer-side brokerage fee is 0 yen, and the company states that it does not charge extra for mortgage application handling, property investigation, document preparation, and similar services. Standard prices for renovation and repair projects are not publicly listed and require a consultation and quotation.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its local focus and relatively transparent fee explanations, while the zero brokerage fee can reduce the initial cost of buying a home. The company also has a construction background, so during property viewings it can provide advice from the perspective of structure, repairs, and management. The drawbacks are that its service area is highly local and the website is only in Japanese. Some property pages indicate that information may not have been updated for more than two weeks, so buyers must confirm by phone before proceeding. The zero-fee offer also does not apply to all pre-owned or special properties.

Who It’s For

Home Plan is suitable for people planning to buy a home in Yamato City, Ayase, Ebina, Yokohama’s Seya/Asahi wards, and nearby areas; invest in an entire apartment building; manage rental property; or renovate a local residence. If you are searching for properties nationwide, platforms such as SUUMO and at home offer broader coverage.

Access from China

This is a standard Japanese corporate website and can usually be accessed directly. However, its services are aimed at local transactions in Japan, so communication, contracts, mortgages, and property viewings all require Japanese-language ability and local eligibility or arrangements.
