			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foreigners in Japan face various kinds of difficulties in finding conventional real estate companies that suits their requirement aptly. At times, it becomes very hard to find Tokyo real estate agencies for foreigners. One of the greatest problems foreigners face while living in Tokyo is that the landlords are very reluctant in renting their apartments to foreigners due to their lack of knowledge of Japanese. In order to avoid any kind of argument or misunderstanding, many landlords and house owners straightaway refuse to rent their apartments to foreigners. So, finding a good Tokyo real estate agency for foreigners is a bit tough if you arrive in Japan initially.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10" title="Tokyo real estate agency" src="http://livingnation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tokyo-real-estate-agency-300x209.jpg" alt="Tokyo real estate agency 300x209 Tokyo real estate agency for foreigners" width="300" height="209" /><br />
Real estate agencies for foreigners understand the need and challenges of expats living in the country. The preferences of the expats, their living standards, their work place and accommodation are to be kept in mind in order to find them a comfortable and convenient home in Tokyo, the most populous city in the world, and that too at such times when the economic boom in Japan is at its peak levels.<br />
In Tokyo, most of the real estate agents respect the no shoe rule. Even in schools and institutions, they generally ask you to remove your shoes and give another something to wear on instead of that. Their responsibility is to act as a real estate agent between you and the house owner or may be offering you a house they independently own. A real estate broker owes his client fiduciary duties, those duties include care, confidentiality, loyalty, obedience, accounting &amp; disclosure. A real estate broker owes his customer fair &amp; honest dealing. A real estate broker must request all parties (seller &amp; buyer) sign a dual agency agreement, to protect their license.<br />
Foreigners are requested to have all necessary documents handy as they will be required during the signing of the deals and also for further use. Once the lease agreement has been signed, please process the necessary payments and apply for house insurance. And before you sign the lease, make sure to finalize the moving in dates as there are many companies who are very strict regarding the schedules they have set as per written on the lease agreement without providing any support or flexibility. Being aware of the moving in dates and schedule is very important before signing any kind of deal with your real estate agency.</p>
