At Home

What At Home does

At Home Co., Ltd. (アットホーム株式会社) is Japan's largest real estate information network, founded in December 1967 and headquartered in Tokyo's Minato-ku (Shimbashi/Hibiya district). The company operates a two-sided platform serving both B2B and B2C segments: real estate agents and brokers subscribe to the ATBB (Real Estate Business Comprehensive Support) platform and pay franchise/membership fees to access the network, while home buyers and renters use the consumer-facing At Home website and mobile apps to search listings, submit rental applications, and request property information. As of June 2026, the network comprised 63,439 member stores across all 47 Japanese prefectures, supported by approximately 50 regional branch offices and a Hibiya-headquartered staff of around 500 employees, with total headcount in the 1,001–5,000 range.

The core technology stack centers on ATBB, a centralized property listing and information management platform that distributes listings from member stores to both internal professional tools and consumer-facing media. Supporting services include FARBO (fact sheet distribution and recycling), Smart Bukkaku (24/7 voice-recognition property inquiry handling), Smart Moushikomi (online rental applications), a cloud-based rental management system, Real Estate Data Pro (market trends and property history), and a CMS-based website creation tool. The company holds ISO 27001 (since 2005, renewed December 2023 through December 2026) and ISO 27017 (since 2019, covering AWS cloud security) certifications, plus the JIPDEC Privacy Mark, and has integrated rule-based AI for automated property email recommendations (launched October 2025).

At Home's business model is anchored in recurring franchise/membership subscription fees from its large base of SMB real estate agents and brokers, supplemented by advertising revenue from real estate companies promoting services on the consumer platform and additional professional services revenue from government-related property information, market indices, and rental management tools. Reported annual sales for fiscal year June 2024 to May 2025 were ¥35.34 billion (approximately $235M USD at prevailing rates). In May 2026, Integral Group announced acquisition of shares in At Home Holdings, representing a notable ownership development for the closely held company.

Direct peers

• SUUMO (Recruit Holdings): Recruit's SUUMO is Japan's largest real estate portal and At Home's most direct competitor, serving the same consumer and agent/broker audiences with property listings, search, and related services. Comparable in mission and product, with SUUMO typically holding the leading consumer mindshare position.
• LIFULL HOME'S (LIFULL Co., Ltd.): LIFULL HOME'S is one of Japan's major real estate portals, directly competing with At Home for both consumer property search traffic and real estate agent subscriptions. Overlapping B2B/B2C model, similar network of agent members, and similar product extensions.
• Yahoo! Real Estate (LY Corporation / Yahoo Japan): Yahoo!不動産 is the real estate portal of Yahoo Japan, leveraging Yahoo's massive consumer traffic. Competes directly with At Home for both consumer property search and listings from real estate agents in Japan.
• Rakuten Real Estate (Rakuten Group): Rakuten's real estate portal leverages Rakuten's broader e-commerce ecosystem to attract both consumers and agents. Directly comparable as a Japan-based real estate listings and agent-subscription platform competing for the same customers as At Home.

Regional players

• REA Group (realestate.com.au): REA Group operates leading real estate portals in Australia and parts of Asia. Comparable platform/portal business model with agent subscription and consumer property search, though geographically focused on Australia/SE Asia rather than Japan.
• Rightmove: UK's largest property portal connecting agents and consumers. Operates in a different geography from At Home but offers a directly comparable listing-aggregation and agent-subscription business model, often cited as a global benchmark for portal economics.

Broad incumbents

• Zillow Group: US-based Zillow operates one of the world's largest real estate portals with a consumer marketplace, agent tools, and adjacent services. Not a direct geographic competitor, but the closest international analog to At Home's portal-plus-agent-tools business model.
• LIFULL Co., Ltd. Parent company of HOME'S, LIFULL operates a broader portfolio of real estate and lifestyle services beyond its portal. Comparable to At Home's platform-plus-services architecture, with overlaps in consumer search and agent subscription products.
• Recruit Holdings: Recruit operates SUUMO as part of a much broader portfolio of HR, marketing, and lifestyle platforms across Japan and globally. Comparable as the operator of At Home's most direct competitor, but with a much wider business footprint beyond real estate.

Others

• CrowdLoan: CrowdLoan is a Japan-based real estate lending/loan matching platform that has partnered with At Home to integrate vacant property financing with the listing platform. Adjacent ecosystem participant enabling financing options within At Home's marketplace.
