Secure Your Property Purchase with RE/MAX L-Style’s Escrow Account

Buying property in Japan can feel overwhelming, especially for foreign buyers navigating an unfamiliar process. At RE/MAX L-Style, we believe that peace of mind is just as important as finding the perfect property. That’s why we offer an escrow service—a trusted, secure way to handle your funds during a real estate transaction.

Why Escrow Matters

Escrow ensures that your money is held safely by a neutral third party until both buyer and seller have fulfilled their obligations. This means your funds are never at risk of being released too early or mishandled during the process.

Out of more than 130,000 real estate agencies in Japan, only 10 agencies nationwide offer escrow services. RE/MAX L-Style is proud to be the only agency in the Kansai area providing this extra layer of protection.

Our Escrow Service at a Glance

  • Service Fee: ¥88,000
  • Covers: Both the initial deposit and final closing payments
  • Security: Funds are safely held until all contractual obligations are completed

Important Timing Requirements

To ensure a smooth transaction, funds must be transferred to our escrow account at least 3 days before:

  • The contract date (when the deposit is paid)
  • The closing date (when the final balance is paid)

This buffer gives us time to confirm your funds and prepare for a seamless handover.

Required Documents

To use our escrow service, we will need the following identification documents:

  1. A copy of your passport
  2. A copy of your driver’s license
  3. One additional proof of address (such as a utility bill or an official document issued by the government of your country of residence)

Why Choose RE/MAX L-Style?

Our escrow service gives you the confidence to proceed with your purchase knowing your funds are protected at every stage. As one of only 10 escrow providers in all of Japan—and the only one in Kansai—RE/MAX L-Style offers security, transparency, and peace of mind you won’t find elsewhere.
