Why it's affordable
How we keep agency fees at ¥0 to 0.3 month's rent (+ tax).
How advertising fees work
An agency (real estate company) can sometimes receive an advertising fee (AD) from the landlord. When there is an advertising fee, the agency fee is ¥0; when there isn't, the agency fee is 0.3 month's rent + tax. It's a clear, easy-to-understand rental brokerage service.

※ Initial costs charged by the landlord, such as the deposit and key money, are separate.
※ The agency fee is 0.3 month's rent (minimum ¥30,000).
※ When rent is ¥100,000 or less, the calculated fee is under ¥30,000, so the minimum fee applies.
We need your cooperation
To make low agency fees possible, some steps require your cooperation — for example, searching for properties yourself and meeting on-site for viewings. Please read our service guidelines in advance.
Service Guidelines →Cutting fixed costs
Unlike other agencies, ieree does not run a prominent storefront near the station. We use a low-cost office and acquire customers online. By cutting fixed costs and returning the savings to our customers, we make low agency fees possible.

FAQ
Q.Can I communicate in English?+
Yes. We provide support in English from introducing listings and explaining the contract to after-move-in support, so please feel free to reach out.
Q.Can I sign for a property I already viewed or applied for through another agency?+
This goes against industry etiquette, so we are unable to accept such cases. Switching a property you are already discussing with another agency over to us may ultimately interfere with your contract.
Q.Can I apply before viewing a property?+
Depending on the property, sometimes yes. Out of consideration for the landlord's and our workload, we may decline cases where the likelihood of moving in is low or there is no reasonable justification.
Q.Can I negotiate the rent start date or initial costs?+
We do our best to accommodate your requests, but we cannot accept requests beyond a reasonable range. During busy seasons, negotiation may not be possible at all, so we recommend planning your move with some budget to spare.
Q.What kinds of properties can you introduce?+
Essentially every agency searches the same industry databases (REINS and ATBB) that licensed brokers can access. As long as a property is listed there, we can introduce it. Please note that some properties can only be handled by a specific agency.
