Property Access Japan

What Property Access Japan does

Property Access Japan is a cross-border real estate technology platform founded in 2017 that operates a dual-direction marketplace: serving Japanese investors seeking overseas real estate (Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia) and foreign investors seeking Japanese property. The company operates six offices across Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and Korea, with corporate subsidiaries in each market and a Singapore-based fund management entity (Property Access Pte. Ltd.). Cumulative overseas property transaction volume exceeded 10 billion JPY post-COVID, supported by an annual flagship conference (7 editions, ~6,000 cumulative attendees) and a sales-led consultative GTM targeting affluent and quasi-HNWI individuals alongside institutional bank and developer partnerships.

Core technology assets include an AI-driven price prediction system for Philippines real estate built on deep learning with Uber's Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index (HEX), macroeconomic indicators from UN/IMF/World Bank, and AirDNA short-term rental data covering approximately 27,000 units; the Zaiwealth blockchain platform enabling one-click online property purchase reservations with cryptocurrency (MetaMask) and fiat (Stripe) payment options plus smart contract escrow; and the Propertyaccess.com inbound platform (beta October 2024) supporting English, Chinese, and Korean. The Zaiwealth platform is developed in partnership with Bataan Province government for compliant KYC/AML transactions.

The business model derives revenue primarily from transaction commissions on completed cross-border property sales, supplemented by fund management fees (Indigo Narra Fund 01 — Philippines real estate, ~426M JPY), event ticket commissions from paid seminars and the annual conference, listing fees from approximately 100 Japanese real estate companies using the inbound platform, and property management fees for overseas assets held by Japanese investors. Distribution runs through direct sales, bank partner channels (SMBC Trust Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Bank, Nomura Real Estate), developer partnerships (Federal Land, Ortigas Land, Vinhomes, Vietnam Groove, PropEasy, Prince Vanguard), and the TERASS agent network of approximately 500 agents.
