Brokerage commission (sales)
For sales, the Real Estate Brokerage Act (宅地建物取引業法) sets a maximum commission. Where the sale price exceeds 4 million yen, the statutory maximum is calculated by the following formula.
Statutory maximum (where the sale price exceeds 4 million yen): sale price × 3% + 60,000 yen + consumption tax
* Where the sale price is 4 million yen or less, a different rate applies. Our brokerage commission is quoted individually within this statutory maximum, according to the property and the scope of your request.
Brokerage commission (leasing)
For leasing, the Real Estate Brokerage Act (宅地建物取引業法) sets the statutory maximum at one month's rent plus consumption tax. Our brokerage commission is offered within this statutory maximum.
