In Australia, interest in real estate is very high, and I often hear about real estate on a daily basis. While living in such an
environment, I naturally became interested in real estate and wanted to work in the real estate industry someday, but after I returned to Japan after graduating from university, I decided to work
independently. Since returning to Japan, I have been working without being directly involved in the real estate industry, such as managing a restaurant and leveraging my strengths to open an agent specializing in studying abroad in Australia. In the study abroad industry, there are many forms of service provision that strongly emphasize only the good points and send the client off once the contract is concluded, and if post-arrival support is required, it is common for support to be expensive. Study abroad agents receive referral fees from the educational institutions that students attend after studying abroad, so although it varies depending on the size of the agency, in general, they are able to operate their services sufficiently without paying for other services, mainly focusing on support costs. It is possible. In this situation, I would like to provide a second opinion and provide all the services associated with studying abroad free of charge in order to ensure that the precious study abroad funds are used correctly.If I were to borrow some words from the Home Company Declaration, I would say, If I had known, I wouldn’t have hired you as an agent…” This later became one of the major reasons why I wanted to become a member of the Ouchi Company, and I strongly sympathized with the philosophy of communicating the “good points” and “bad points” to customers, as stated in the Ouchi Company Declaration. did. Because this is exactly what I have practiced in the study abroad industry. Even if the industries are different, there are many things in common that are negatively perceived, and we share the same desire to change those perceptions for the better and convey the true way of being. It will be a huge challenge for me to see if I can put what I have practiced so far into practice in the real estate industry, which is an even bigger market. However, when we achieve this, it becomes a new model for our company that allows us to utilize not only the narrow perspective and scope of personal growth, but also the knowledge of the real estate industry even if we are starting from scratch.Although this may seem presumptuous, I believe this will lead to further increasing the value of the Home Company. I would also like to express my gratitude to Chairman Fujii, Mr. Iwasaki, Mr. Asano, and the members of the FC Headquarters for their continued support and understanding until the very end. I want to become a member of the Ouchi Company because I was moved by this idea! That was a big deciding factor. Currently, we are active mainly in Kasuga City, Onojo City, and Chikushino City around Fukuoka City. Every day is a lot of studying, trial and error, and repeated revisions, but I am enjoying the work with a fresh feeling just like when I was a child. As mentioned at the beginning, I realized that my desire to work in the real estate industry someday came true after many years of
encountering Ouchi Company, and I believe that Ouchi Company is a huge presence with whom I can share my philosophy and ideas. Masu. In order to realize our big ambition of increasing the number of stores in the future, mainly in Kyushu, we will work as a member of the Ouchi Company with strong determination at the newly opened “Ouchi Company Fukuoka Kasuga store”. . Thank you for your continued support of Ouchi Company Fukuoka Kasuga store.

Mr. Ippei Shimizu I have had various experiences in the real estate industry for 16 years. For example, I have been involved in a wide range of tasks, including walk-in sales for apartment construction, dealing with owners, financing, and building management. In building management, where I have had the longest experience, I have contributed to the upkeep of buildings by arranging maintenance and repairs through cooperation with subcontractors as a manager. My father ran a construction company, so I naturally learned the skills to do simple maintenance and repairs myself while helping out. When I was young, I remember that I loved secretly collecting tools that were no longer used by the company as my own. I still use it carefully. [Encounter with “Home Company”] I came across Ouchi Company at the time when Ouchi Company was expanding into Kitakyushu City. Although I have been involved in the real estate industry for a long time, I have never been involved in operations based on the Real Estate Business Act. On the other hand, since I had obtained the qualification of a real estate agent, I wanted to be involved in real estate buying and selling, and I consider myself truly fortunate to have been able to connect with Ouchi Company at that time. At Ouchi Company, we have a solid training system in place, and we are able to provide detailed training in each detailed category, making it very easy to understand. I also appreciate the environment where I can constantly absorb new knowledge through practice. I find it very rewarding to be able to use my experience and knowledge to contribute to urban development while learning. [Vacant house problem and the future of Kitakyushu City] There are approximately 500,000 houses in Kitakyushu City, of which approximately 79,300 (vacancy rate 15.8%) are vacant. We have recorded the second highest vacant house rate among ordinance-designated cities, and we believe that this vacant house problem is a serious issue for the region. In particular, abandoned vacant houses can pose a danger to the surrounding area, and immediate action is required. *From the 2018 housing and land statistical survey I don’t view vacant houses simply as “properties that need to be managed,” but rather as the key to regional revitalization. We believe that by purchasing vacant houses and renovating them into new buildings, we can bring new vitality to the town and create a bright future for the area. We believe that this will not only allow residents to live with peace of mind, but also contribute to the revitalization of the region. Image

Currently, many customers are worried and do not know which real estate company to contact. In addition, customers are overwhelmed with quotas and overtime, and they end up signing contracts without being able to fully explain the situation at the time of signing the contract, and the customer ends up regretting it later. There are many cases where it becomes too thin. At “Home Company,” we make sure to honestly tell our customers not only the “good points” of their homes, but also the “bad points.” This is to ensure that our customers do not regret their purchase. For example, when you tour a home on Sunday, it may be quiet, but on weekdays there may be noise from a nearby factory, or smoke and odors from a restaurant that you may not have noticed during the day come into the night. By openly communicating these facts, we have created a system that allows you to make a purchase decision with confidence. I believe that it is important to convey to customers not only simple materials and data information, but also “live information” that can only be understood by actually living in the place. The future that I envision as a member of the “Ouchi Company” is not just about buying and selling real estate, but also about providing the foundation for new lifestyles rooted in the local community. We aim to revitalize the entire region, including Kitakyushu City, by renovating abandoned vacant lots and houses into new housing and breathing new life into the city. This initiative will not be limited to Kitakyushu City, but will inevitably spread throughout the country. Ouchi Company is expanding nationwide as a franchise chain, and we believe that by addressing the issues faced by each region, we can breathe new life into Japan and revitalize towns across the country. [Contributing to society and challenging the future] The biggest appeal that I feel about “Ouchi Company” is that we seriously aim to make not only our customers but also our staff and all other people happy. We believe that if our staff are happy, they will be able to provide thoughtful service to our customers, and as a result, a “cycle of happiness” will be born. In addition, “Ouchi Company” hopes to dispel mistrust in the residential real estate industry as a whole and make the real estate industry a profession that children aspire to. This is a goal that cannot be achieved alone, but I believe that by working together with the philosophy of “Home Company”, we can definitely achieve it. Our mission is to improve the livability of the region and enhance the attractiveness of the city, and this is our challenge for the future.

Representative Director Takeo Kai The reason I decided to join Ouchi Company was because I wanted to try something new. While running a real estate company by myself, my duties became fixed, and I spent many days wondering what I should do next to improve my management. At that time, I heard about Ouchi Company’s franchise plan and became particularly interested in the purchasing and resale business. I decided to become a member because I was able to operate a newly built housing business even on a small lot, and because I thought that I could take on new challenges of my own in this environment, knowing that we have a comprehensive follow-up system that includes floor plan planning and purchasing know-how. I did. Currently, we are working on the purchase and resale business (newly built housing business) in collaboration with everyone at the Ouchi Company FC Headquarters. Since I run the business by myself, everyone at the Ouchi Company FC Headquarters uses their know-how to help me with things like creating floor plan materials and posting them on the portal site, which has been extremely helpful. I’m here. One of the things I am glad about being a member is that we have a system in place that allows me to focus on sales. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase the product quickly, and we are receiving inquiries from customers, so we are seeing a positive response. I think this is also thanks to everyone at Ouchi Company FC Headquarters.

As a result, the nature of the residential real estate industry is likely to change as well. In particular, I believe that a major challenge for our industry is how to effectively utilize the increasing number of vacant lots and houses. The Ouchi Company’s new home construction business, which is possible even on small lots, can be used to deal with vacant land and vacant houses, and we would like to actively develop this business in the future. We would like to grow together with Ouchi Company FC Headquarters by leveraging our strengths that other companies cannot. Also, I grew up in Taku City, Saga Prefecture, a rural area with a very high aging population. I believe that there are many issues regarding vacant land and houses in Taku City. I currently live in Saga City, but my parents’ house in Taku City is empty and I can only go there to freshen the air. In fact, many vacant houses are in the same situation, and I would like to think of good solutions for vacant lots and houses in the future. Finally, if the current business of Ouchi Company Saga Chuo Branch gets back on track, we would like to consider the next development, including increasing the number of employees. We would be happy if we could expand our business with the support of everyone at Ouchi Company FC Headquarters. Ouchi Company Minami Fukuoka store nukumori Co., Ltd. Executive Officer Satoshi Asano I first encountered Ouchi Company when I met Chairman Fujii again. At that time, I asked him about his business plan, and I wanted to work with him. I decided to work because I sympathized with the vision of “making the residential real estate industry an industry that children aspire to” and the attitude of “honestly conveying the good and bad points of homes (residential real estate).” In the Kitakyushu area, we started purchasing activities in March of this year by leveraging the know-how of Ouchi Company, and have already been able to purchase over 25 plots of land. I used to run a real estate company, and while I was surprised at the speed of the Home Company Headquarters, I enjoyed it and enjoyed my work. Thanks to you, we have received great feedback when reselling our purchased items, and we are looking forward to our future activities in Kitakyushu. We have decided to launch the Ouchi Company Minami Fukuoka store and are currently in the preparation stages, but just like in Kitakyushu, we are looking forward to making a large purchase and bringing the Ouchi Company homes into the hands of many customers. The area of the Minami Fukuoka store is Kasuga City, Onojo City, Chikushino City, and Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is a betting town in Fukuoka City, and I feel that the market price is currently rising, so there are many competing companies in the area. However, we would like to make the most of our home company’s know-how to develop our business. Additionally, we would like to promote our business so that we can build good relationships with local real estate companies. I used to run multiple real estate companies, etc., but I fell ill and was hospitalized for a long period of time, so I had to step down from management. I am still working while dealing with my illness, but I also empathize with Ouchi Company’s approach of putting my private life first and doing my best at work. And I was able to come this far with the help of my co-workers. I feel very grateful.

I am also the father of two children, and I am raising them with my wife in Kyushu, where I have no relatives. Raising children is a chaotic process that is out of your control. However, I am spending my days thinking that if I work hard at work while enjoying this chaos with my family, I may be able to see a new stage. The Ouchi Company
Minami-Fukuoka store is about to start, but we would like to work on our daily operations with the cooperation of the Ouchi Company headquarters to get it back on track as soon as possible. I would be very happy if you could support me. From Ouchi Company Group Representative Masakazu Fujii

President Yamamoto Home Company Saga Chuo Store Takeclass Co., Ltd. President Kai Home Company Kokura Kita Katano store nukumori Co., Ltd. Mr. Shimizu Home Company Minami Fukuoka store nukumori Co., Ltd. Mr. Asano I feel happy to be able to join everyone. President Yamamoto, who served as a second opinion in the study abroad industry, has contributed to creating a world where young people can play an active role. The residential real estate industry has been waiting for such a president, Yamamoto. Because Mr. Yamamoto has no experience in the residential real estate industry, he is able to create a new industry without being bound by convention. Mr. Yamamoto’s success is the success of Ouchi Company itself. Let’s work together and do our best. Mr. Shimizu has experience in apartment construction and building management, and believes that tackling the vacant house problem is the “key to regional revitalization.” Our company needs Mr. Shimizu. Let’s work together to build a residential real estate industry that conveys the bad parts of homes as well as the good parts. Mr. Shimizu is a senior in my life whom I respect and who values other people’s feelings. Please continue to hear more about Mr. Shimizu’s story. President Kai has extensive experience in the residential real estate industry. He started his own business in his mid-30s and is active in Saga Prefecture, where he was born and raised. President Kai considers the residential real estate business not only as a means of business, but also considers the community and his customers. Japan will flourish when young people like President Kai play an active role. Mr. Asano has managed several real estate companies in the past and is also a founding member of a famous real estate franchise chain. That experience and Mr. Asano’s vision for the residential real estate industry. Let’s combine this with our company and create a bright and transparent residential real estate industry. “Make the home company a dream job for children. Make the residential real estate industry an industry that children aspire to.” We will achieve this goal by working together with everyone. I have such a dream.
************************************** [Health checkup (second opinion) of floor plan is very popular! ! ! 】 “When building a new home, you will not be able to complete a home that you are satisfied with unless you build it three times.” This is a phrase that is often used in the world of custom construction. However, at the same time, the phrase “buying a home is the biggest purchase you will make once in your life” is often used. Such an important home. How about a health check of the floor plan before building? The floor plan health check is a service provided by Ochi Company to those who are considering building a new custom-built detached house to give a second opinion on the floor plan. After living here, I don’t want to have such regrets as “I should have done that.” “If I had known, I wouldn’t have done this.” “I’m thinking about the floor plan, but I can’t think of it the way I want.” “I’m not satisfied with the floor plan. I think it could be done better…” “I thought I was able to create the floor plan exactly as I wanted, but I’m worried that there might be a pitfall somewhere.” “I decided to leave it to one construction company, but I would like to consult with other construction companies.” A floor plan health check is perfect for those who have such wishes. It’s a relief to know that the floor plan you’ve decided on is healthy. If your floor plan is not healthy, Ouchi Company will provide the perfect treatment.
