■ Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A) About Niseko 

Real Estate Sales: When buying and selling Niseko real estate, questions about how to sell and what not to do are common. We will answer these frequently asked questions in order. 

Q&A 1: What is the recommended method for buying and selling land or property in Niseko? While it depends 
on the type of property, its condition, and your needs, we generally recommend using a broker. Brokerage is the recommended method when you want to sell property in popular areas like Niseko at a high price or under better terms. Niseko real estate is popular both domestically and internationally, and it is not uncommon for sales to be made under favorable terms.
 For this reason we recommend using a broker who can help you sell under good terms or at a high price. 

Q&A 2: What are some things you should not do when buying and selling Niseko real estate? 
The following are some of the things you should not do when buying and selling Niseko real estate.

・Democratize a house and sell the land without consulting a real estate company.
・Consult a real estate company that doesn't understand the Niseko area.
・Conduct a real estate transaction solely with a specialized buyer. 

First, what you should never do is arbitrarily demolish a building because it's old. Since it 
may be possible to sell the property as is without demolishing it, arbitrarily carrying out demolition, which requires significant expense, is generally prohibited. 
Other options include consulting a real estate company that doesn't understand the real estate situation in Niseko, or consulting a specialized buyer only. 
This will reduce the chances of leveraging the area's unique characteristics to sell at a high price. 

Q&A 3: Can land and properties in Niseko be sold privately? 
It's not that land and properties can't be sold privately. 
This is true for real estate in Niseko as well. 
However, most real estate companies, including ours, discourage private sales because 
of the high number of problems they can cause. While 
private sales may occasionally occur between very close friends or relatives, it's best to involve a real estate company or lawyer to avoid potential problems. 
Problems are even more likely when dealing with complete strangers, and since it's not uncommon for Niseko real estate to be sold with overseas partners, the risk of conflict with overseas parties is also high. 
Private transactions in Niseko are not recommended. It's best to consider it a prohibited activity.
