*Including referrals from users
Launched on February 14, 2024, this service provides optimal matching centered on "trustworthy people (agents)" rather than property information. With registrations from agents themselves and a "chain of trust" driven by referrals from existing users, it is expanding a nationwide network of highly specialized and high-quality professionals.

■ Background of Agent Connect's Birth: Representative Tomiya's Vision
"Never again will the same tragedy be repeated" - A challenge born from a 200 million yen loss.
The background to Representative Tomiya launching this service stems from his own profound experience with the "Suruga Bank Pumpkin Carriage Incident." At the time, Tomiya, an employee of a major electronics manufacturer, began real estate investment due to anxieties about old age but became entangled in systemic fraudulent loans, incurring a massive debt of approximately 200 million yen.
After establishing a victims' alliance from the depths of despair and achieving an unprecedented resolution through "payment in kind," Tomiya concluded that there was a need for a system to discern "people (agents)" rather than properties.
His vision for social justice, "I want to resolve the information asymmetry prevalent in the real estate industry and create a place where sincere professionals are fairly evaluated," is the origin of Agent Connect.
■ Agent Connect Service Overview
"Agent Connect" is a real estate-specific platform that focuses on "who will support you"—the "people"—rather than traditional transactions that rely on property information or appraisal prices.
- Selected Agents: Professionals with visible track records, qualifications, and user evaluations join.
- Transparency Assurance: Users can easily consult agents directly via chat after checking their expertise and reviews.
- Third-Party Perspective: A "Real Estate 2nd Opinion" service is also provided by neutral experts with no conflicts of interest.
■ Choosing by "People," not "Properties." A new form of real estate transaction woven by 500 professionals.
The milestone of 500 registered agents is not merely an expansion of scale. The fact that many of these professionals joined through "referrals" from existing users and other agents holds significant meaning. This is proof that our philosophy, "sincere individuals should be fairly evaluated," resonates deeply with professionals in the field and consumers alike.
Agent Connect aims to break the "negative spiral" created by information asymmetry and establish a culture where users can "reverse-nominate" the best partner for them. With a robust network of 500 professionals established, a foundational infrastructure is in place to connect diverse nationwide needs with suitable experts.
■ Message from Representative Director Kosuke Tomiya on Reaching 500 Registered Agents
Having experienced life almost collapse due to a 200 million yen debt from real estate investment, I launched Agent Connect with a strong determination to "never repeat the same tragedy." Through victim support and relief activities, I keenly felt that the success of real estate transactions depends more on "who you meet" than on property figures.
This time, the number of registered agents has surpassed 500, and what is particularly significant is that many of them have expanded through "referrals" from existing users and other agents.
This is not just a number of registrations, but proof that many professionals resonate with our philosophy that "sincere people should be fairly evaluated." We aim to realize a market where "trustworthy people" are chosen, not an era where choices are made solely based on advertising or information volume. Agent Connect aims to resolve the anxiety and distrust caused by information asymmetry and create a world where users can "reverse-nominate" experts suited to them.
Moving forward, by utilizing technology, we will expand mechanisms where sincere agents are fairly evaluated and transform real estate transactions from "an anxious decision" into "a safe experience advanced with trustworthy companions."
