What were your concerns when purchasing the apartment?

My biggest concern was the contract and other important documents. Since the contract is all in Japanese (not my native language), I needed to have strong trust with the real-estate agent.

Saitoh-san took a lot of extra time to explain the important points to me in English. So I felt comfortable with the contents of the contracts and documents. Also, he introduced me to other people in his trusted network for legal services. So the entire process was very smooth.

Do you have any advice about the loan process?

I would recommend that people should have more than one option for financing. Then if one option is not possible, you can have a back-up plan. For example, approach more than one bank and try to get pre-approval for your loan.

In my case, I approached one bank, but their decision making process was too slow. Luckily, Saitoh-san negotiated an extension for me. Then I was able to use my backup plan for the loan.

What did you notice by having really owned an apartment?
	There were many steps from the beginning to the end, however, I received lots of help through the entire process. It is a great feeling to own a new home!
