Real Estate Sales & Brokerage | Vacant Houses & Poorly Managed Properties
We clarify the property's current situation
and connect it to its next value.
We also handle vacant houses that are not on the general market and properties that are difficult to manage. From options such as sale, utilization, demolition, and redevelopment, we propose an approach suited to both the property and its owner.
We start by sorting through each one, step by step.
01You inherited it, but no one lives there.
02You do not know the demolition cost, so you cannot decide whether to sell.
03The registration has not been completed, and you do not know where to start.
04You live far away and cannot visit the property frequently.
05A real estate company told you, “We can’t handle this property.”
SELF CHECK
If even one applies, you can consult us even if you have not decided what to do yet.
This check does not submit any information. It is a simple tool to help you organize your current situation.
Send photos of the vacant house or ask simple questions through LINE. You can consult us even before deciding to sell. For formal consultations or document submissions, please also use the inquiry form.
INTRODUCTION
Not just selling— we start by sorting out the property's issues.
An inherited home that remains unused, a building that has become difficult to maintain, or a property requiring costly repairs or demolition—every property has its own circumstances.
At Rerise Co., Ltd., we do not simply place land or buildings on the market. After reviewing the property's condition, rights, cost burden, and the owner's wishes, we propose options for sale, utilization, or disposition.
We look beyond the transaction itself to demolition, land grading, development work, administrative procedures, and coordination with external specialists, identifying one by one the factors that make a property difficult to market.
We review the condition of the land and building, rights, surrounding environment, and other relevant factors.
We compare options beyond sale alone, including utilization and redevelopment.
From brokerage and specialist coordination to demolition and land grading, we support the process through a single point of contact.
A property's value and the best way to sell it are not determined by the building condition alone.
We review building deterioration, site shape, road access, boundary confirmation, and surrounding conditions to identify issues that may affect sale or utilization.
For vacant houses and properties left unmanaged for long periods, we compare options such as selling after repairs, selling as-is, or demolishing the building and selling the land.
Current condition of land and building
Road access and surrounding environment
Building deterioration and management condition
Boundary and rights confirmation
Need for repairs or demolition
We present multiple options based on your goals and the property's condition.
Priorities differ by owner—such as “I want to sell quickly,” “I want to preserve the building as much as possible,” or “I want to reduce maintenance costs.”
We propose a realistic approach by considering not only price, but also the costs and time required for sale, management burden, and future utilization potential.
Sell as-is
Sell after repairs
Rental or business use
Demolish and sell as land
VACANT HOUSE SUPPORT
For properties that have become difficult to manage, we help move them toward their next use instead of leaving them unattended.
We organize the issues surrounding vacant houses and poorly managed properties, helping reduce the owner's burden and improve marketability.Cleaning, garden maintenance, periodic inspections, and other responsibilities continue.
Fixed asset tax, repair expenses, management costs, and other expenses may arise.
Buildings left unused for long periods tend to deteriorate more quickly.
Cases may require organizing co-ownership relationships such as inheritance registration and co-ownership shares.
Before listing a property on the market, we identify factors that may hinder a sale. When necessary, we work with judicial scriveners, administrative scriveners, land and house surveyors, attorneys, and other specialists to address inheritance, registration, boundaries, and legal issues.
MODEL CASE / BEFORE & AFTER
This is a model case based on the type of consultation we may realistically receive, not an actual completed transaction. Conditions, costs, and timelines vary by property.
Overgrown trees encroached on neighboring land, roof leaks had progressed, and inheritance registration was still incomplete. The owner did not know where to seek help.
The assumed total cost for demolition and land grading is approximately ¥1.2 million for a 30-tsubo wooden house. The model assumes completion of a sale agreement in about four months after inheritance registration is completed.
On-site inspection of the building, boundaries, and encroachment conditions
Coordinate with a partner judicial scrivener to complete inheritance registration
Obtain estimates from two demolition contractors and compare an as-is sale with a post-demolition sale
Based on local land demand, propose demolition followed by sale as a vacant lot
*The above is a model case. Actual costs and timelines vary depending on the property's condition and location.
Uncertainty about construction costs can become an obstacle to selling a property.
For aging buildings and poorly managed properties, buyers may find it difficult to make a purchase decision when demolition or land-grading costs are unclear.
Rerise Co., Ltd. works with a First-Class Civil Engineering Construction Management Engineer to identify the work and costs required for demolition, land grading, site development, paving, and related work.
We compare selling the property as-is with carrying out construction before sale, and determine the method best suited to the property.
Demolition of existing buildings and structures
Land grading and site development
Removal of trees and remaining belongings
Improvement of access roads and parking areas
Sales planning that accounts for construction costs
CONSTRUCTION PARTNER / AFTER SUPPORT
Beyond real estate brokerage, we leverage our in-house First-Class Civil Engineering Construction Management Engineer to make proposals that account for demolition, land grading, and site development.
We also maintain a network of partner demolition contractors and renovation companies, so you can continue consulting us about renovation or utilization after the contract.
Our team includes a First-Class Civil Engineering Construction Management Engineer who also holds an Assistant Surveyor qualification.
We work with partner companies that can handle demolition, land grading, and site development.
We make proposals with renovation, rental use, and resale in mind.
In-house specialists
External Specialist Network
*Depending on the case, we coordinate with the necessary licensed professionals, external specialists, and partner companies.
PROPERTY REUSE
Rather than considering demolition alone, we also explore the possibility of reusing buildings as shops, offices, homes, and other purposes.
For vacant houses and vacant storefronts, we also introduce properties to entrepreneurs looking to open restaurants, shops, or other businesses.
We connect owners who are struggling with unused properties to businesses seeking a new location, exploring utilization options beyond sale alone.
Reuse as a residence
Conversion to shop or office use
Matching with prospective business operators
Utilization proposals including renovation and construction
PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
We organize the multiple issues involved in real estate transactions.
Inheritance, registration, boundaries, debt, permits, and other issues sometimes cannot be resolved through brokerage alone.
Depending on the case, we work with external specialists in each field and prepare the conditions required for sale step by step.

FAQ
Common questions about selling property and vacant houses
Can an old building still be sold?
We review the building condition and land conditions, then compare selling as-is, repairing before sale, or demolishing and selling the land.
Can I consult you about a vacant house located far away?
After reviewing the property's location and condition, we explain the available support. Please start by sharing the property information with us.
Can I consult you even if inheritance registration has not been completed?
Yes. When necessary, we coordinate with a judicial scrivener, organize the inheritance and registration status, and prepare the property for sale.
I am unsure whether I should demolish the building before selling.
We review the building condition, demolition cost, and demand for the land, then compare an as-is sale with a post-demolition sale.
There is still furniture and other belongings inside the house.
We review the remaining items and explain the sale preparation process, including removal when necessary.
Can I consult you even if I have not decided whether to sell?
Yes. We can also organize options such as continued ownership, rental, and utilization—not only sale.
Are consultations and estimates free?
Yes. The initial consultation and an estimate based on property research are provided free of charge.
How much is the brokerage fee?
