About REDS

Did you know that when you buy or
sell property through a broker,
the standard brokerage fee is
3% of the property price plus 60,000JPY, plus consumption tax!?

Because real estate transactions involve such high values,
these fees can get expensive quickly.
What's more, you have to pay them
whether you are buying or selling.

At typical real estate agents

Calculation Method
for Brokerage Fees

Amount exceeding
4 million JPY
× 3% + consumption tax
More than 2 million JPY
and up to 4 million JPY
× 4% + consumption tax
2 million JPY or less × 5% + consumption tax
■Quick Calculation Formula
(for sales prices over 4 million JPY)
Sales Price×3%+60,000 JPY+Consumption Tax

*Under a special provision, the maximum brokerage fee for properties sold under JPY 8 million is capped at JPY 330,000 (inclusive of tax)

Example: If the sales price is
50million JPY

For example, if the sales price is 50 million JPY, a typical real estate agent will require a brokerage fee of 1,716,000 JPY from both the seller and the buyer.

At REDS, brokerage fees are discounted or even free
