Dear Umezawa San,

I have written the attached letter for you in gratitude of your outstanding support over the years as my agent with Plaza Homes. 
We are sad to have had to leave Japan, but your support during our entire 12 year stay greatly reduced the stress we had of finding a home, maintaining it, and finally helping with our exit procedures from Japan. We greatly appreciate all you have done for us. 

I will definitely recommend you to friends, colleagues or anyone else I know who is relocating to Tokyo. I hope you will still be an agent so you an assist them. 

Kind regards,

D.M.

Dear Toyoda-san,

Me and my wife just recently moved into our new apartment with the assistance of Mr. Asai-san. This e-mail is to give him a well-deserved praise for his diligence, patience, and carefulness during the whole process. We had previous experiences with real estate agents in Japan, and we can say with confidence that Mr. Asai-san has been the best. If only there were more like him! Mr. Asai-san is certainly a great asset to PLAZA HOMES. Please, make sure to celebrate and recognize his great work. He deserves it. Thanks, and have a great day.

Kind regards.

Dear Ms. Matsuzawa,

I am now the proud owner of a lovely apartment in Tokyo, and I am very grateful of that to you.
I thank you very sincerely for your wise advices by the difficult search -from afar- for the object and for your help all along the steps of the process of acquisition. Complicated things become simple with you.
You have particularly got my admiration by your serenity and your staunch calm. But by your great availability too.
Under these conditions, I continue with your company Plaza Homes and I trust her now with the renting out of my apartment.
Thank you so much again, Dear Ms. Matsuzawa !

Best regards,

Hi Matsuzawa san,

Just wanted to take the time to say thank you so much for everything these past few months! You have not only made my “first home purchase” but first home in Japan so much more comfortable than ever imagined.

You really reached to the extra stretch of doing real estate plus alpha, and I could not thank you enough for that. My parents also would like to send their gratitude for all you have done for us to make it as smooth as possible.

Thank you for all your time and efforts.

PLAZA HOMES,

I would like to strongly recommend the service of Suzuki san. She has been of a tremendous help in my search for an apartment in Tokyo, Minato-Ku. Always available and responsive, she assisted and guided me in all the steps to buy my apartment, from searching, finding, negotiating, borrowing and even renovating. This experience has been made easy and clear thanks to her knowledge or dedication.

Again, thank you very much Suzuki san.

Dear Uchida san & Mikako san,

We have been interacting for past 3 months for residence for next 4-5 years. We are finally settled at the residence and very happy too. I am realizing that at time, we were demanding & choosy but you did everything to meet all possible demands. I would like thank you on behalf of my family for all efforts, help from both of you. Mikako san was with us until very late in the evening, when we finally shifted to the residence and made it sure that everything is in place. This is a commendable sincerity and customer focus. Many thanks for everything.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Suzuki san,

Plaza Homes looked after my property search in Japan with great patience and understanding. The purchase of the property itself was handled extremely professionally and smoothly, from offer to settlement. The communication was outstanding, especially given that I wasn't able to be in Japan at every stage of the process. Thank you for all your hard work!

Best wishes,

My family had a great first impression, and are very much looking forward to living in Japan, and beginning a new cultural learning and experience. We cannot believe everything we were able to accomplish together - school visits, apartment search, city exploration, securing our first choice home, and selecting all our new furniture!

Thank you again for making our week such a nice and pleasant experience.

Suzuki-san,

We've had the most amazing experience in our property search and acquisition process. Our realtor Suzuki-san has been very attentive to all our needs and accommodating to our schedules. As result, we were able to find and successfully close on an acquisition of a beautiful apartment in Shinjuku with the most amazing views of the Nishi-Shinjuku skyline.

Nov. 1, 2016

Dear PLAZA HOMES,

For that I am very thankful to your company for everything that you have done through the process to make it happen as well as the excellent “post sales” service which was extremely helpful for me for a smooth set up.

Finally and in all fairness as the most important part of this message I can’t stress enough how satisfied and grateful I am with the role of your Yukina san. She proved her extreme professionalism and great disposition of time and resources during this lengthy process as well as fine knowledge of market conditions. Her patience, persistence and orientation to details made all this possible.

As a man with high responsibility in an international corporation I have some experience detecting talents with capacity to grow and develop a fine career through the years, this is no doubt her case so I am sure a fine company like Plaza Homes will have the interest in keeping her as invaluable asset; not just for now but more importantly for future developments in different roles.

I feel very welcomed in my new life in Japan and I am sure this new stage in Naka Meguro will be great part of that. I remain at full disposal and send my best regards,

G.D.K

Nov. 1, 2016
