Overview
Naoko helped an American couple find a condo in Yokohama for their long-term stay in Japan. With a focus on accessibility, flat terrain, and proximity to their son, she found the perfect property that met their needs. The purchase was completed smoothly in one week, and the couple is now enjoying a comfortable lifestyle in their new home.
Challenges
An American couple with a long-term stay visa planned to spend half of their year in Japan after retirement. They were looking for a fair size condo in Yokohama where they could live with their son, who has already been settled in Japan. The couple’s primary requirements were a location close to their son’s work, with easy access to public transportation. Due to health concerns, they needed a flat, accessible area, avoiding the steep slopes that are common in many parts of Yokohama.
The challenge was to find a property that combined convenience, accessibility, and livability, while steering clear of the hilly areas that could complicate daily movement.
Solutions
With over 35 years of living in Yokohama, she knew the city’s neighborhoods inside and out. Rather than limiting the search to the bustling central areas, she introduced the couple to quieter, more serene neighborhoods just slightly outside the city’s core. These areas still offered excellent access to services and transportation, but without the heavy foot traffic and hills of the central regions.
She found them a perfect match: a spacious condo, near a station, without any steep inclines, and with an elevator for easy access. This location not only provided a comfortable living environment but also made it easier for the couple to commute and enjoy their time in Japan without worrying about accessibility issues.
Her deep knowledge of Yokohama’s topography allowed her to find a property that precisely fit the couple’s lifestyle and health needs.
Results
Thanks to her expertise and tailored approach, the couple was able to finalize their purchase in just one week. The process was seamless, and they quickly settled into their new home. With the convenient, flat location and excellent transportation access, they now enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life in Yokohama.
Her thorough understanding of the area, combined with her ability to address the couple’s unique needs, made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The couple is now enjoying a well-balanced, convenient lifestyle in their new home, and they are thrilled with the outcome.
