Notably, the property management offers several unique services. They are open on weekends and holidays and provide extensive support for those new to life in Okinawa. As a special offer, they gift a "Pachira" money tree plant to successful applicants, which is said in feng shui to boost fortune, work, and love luck. Furthermore, as the agency has an affiliated administrative scrivener office, they offer free assistance with cumbersome administrative procedures like changing one's residence certificate for interested clients.
