(Translated by Google) This time, I decided to sell my house. At that time, I would have to look through a huge amount of documents in English, so I decided to look for a reliable Japanese agent.

I searched through word of mouth and the internet, and found Miyuki Hoshina who had a good reputation. When I looked at her website, I realized that she had a long career, and I was able to learn the necessary knowledge when selling from the columns on her website.

When I contacted Mr. Hoshina, he listened to me very kindly, and I felt at ease and decided to entrust him with the job.

When selling our house, he visited the site many times and gave us many tips on things to fix before putting it on the market, as well as tips on how to sell it at a higher price.

Regarding pricing, they took into consideration our wishes and market prices, and proposed a reasonable amount. In the end, we were able to sell it for that price, so there was no mistake in entrusting it to her.

The agent on the buyer's side had little experience, and various inconveniences arose along the way, but Mr. Hoshina persevered and successfully negotiated and resolved the issue. The process was carefully explained to me in Japanese (and to my family in English), so I could always rely on them with peace of mind. I am very satisfied that I made a mistake in choosing her based on her long career and word of mouth.

今回、家を売却することを決めました。その際に膨大な英語の書類に目を通すことになるので、やはり信頼できる日本人のエージェントがいいと思い、探すことにしました。

口コミやネットなどで探し、評判が良かったのが保科みゆきさんでした。彼女のウェブサイトを拝見し長いキャリアがあることが分かりましたし、売却の際に必要となる知識もウェブサイトのコラムで学ぶことができました。

保科さんにコンタクトしてみたところ、色々と親身になって話を聞いていただき、安心してお任せすることにしました。

家の売却にあたっては何度も現地を訪れていただき、マーケットに出す前に直しておくべき箇所などの指摘や高く売るためのヒントなどをたくさんいただきました。

プライシングについてはこちらの希望、マーケットの相場などを加味し、妥当な額を提案していただきました。結果的にその価格で売却できたので、彼女にお任せして間違いはありませんでした。

バイヤー側のエージェントの経験が少なく、途中で色々と不都合なことも出てきましたが、保科さんは粘り強くうまく交渉をまとめ、問題を解決してくれました。そういう過程も丁寧に、私には日本語（家族には英語で）説明していただいていたので、常に安心して頼れました。やはり長年のキャリアとクチコミで彼女を選んで間違いなかったと大満足しています。

(Translated by Google) When I started living in San Diego, I looked for a local real estate brokerage company and decided to hire this company because it had a very good reputation. As expected, we received detailed support, including assistance with complicated real estate rental contracts, as well as various advice on living locally. I am very satisfied with the excellent service you provided. Various procedures, including local real estate rental contracts, are extremely difficult, so leaving it to a professional was very effective in avoiding various problems.

Miyuki and her team helped me sell my property very quick. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I would recommend her to my friends in Cali. The line of communications was always open and I was informed how the selling process will sail smoothly.

(Translated by Google) Thank you, Miyuki-san. I thought it would be impossible to purchase this year due to the coronavirus pandemic and soaring real estate prices, but by chance I found a good property. The owner's agent, who seemed reluctant to sell, decided that if Miyuki was the agent, she would have 30 years of experience and a good reputation, so let's move forward quickly, and the contract was concluded in no time. I am grateful that they took the time to provide me with inspections before and after purchase, useful information for my new life, where to go to restaurants, where to shop for groceries, etc. I want to move soon!
This is a major purchase in your life, and you will need more than just the purchase, so you will need to consult with us on various matters.

みゆきさん、ありがとうございました。コロナ禍、不動産価格の高騰、など、今年中に購入は無理かな、と言っていたけれど、偶然にも良い物件が見つかりました。　売り渋っていた様子だったオーナー側エージェントは、みゆきがエージェントなら、30年の実績、良い評判、ぜひ話を早く進めましょう、ということになり、あっという間に契約が成立しました。　購入前後のインスペクション、これからの新生活の為の有益な情報、どこのレストラン、どこでグロサリーショッピングなどなど、親身になって時間をかけていただき、有難いことでした。早く引っ越ししたい！
人生での大きな買い物で、買っただけでは済まないので、いろいろとご相談に乗っていただくことになると思います。

(Translated by Google) After living in America for over 20 years, I decided to sell my house and return to Japan. Since I will be moving to Japan after the sale, I was looking for a knowledgeable and reliable agent to avoid any problems later on. When I met with Miyuki, I found that she had a wealth of experience and knowledge, including dealing with situations such as selling and returning to Japan, and based on her personality, I felt that I could trust her with peace of mind, so I decided to ask her to help me.
In fact, Miyuki was not only highly skilled as a professional, but also very friendly and someone I could talk to about anything. They not only consulted me about the sale of my house, but also the various issues associated with it, and they provided me with accurate advice and follow-up, which was really helpful. I think I was lucky to be able to ask Miyuki.
I'm in Japan now, and she was such a wonderful person that I thought it would be impossible to find an agent like her the next time I wanted to buy a house.

20年以上のアメリカ生活を終えて、家を売って日本に帰ることにしました。売却後は日本に行ってしまうので、後々問題がないように知識が豊富で信頼できるエージェントを探していました。みゆきさんにお会いしてみると、売却して日本帰国というような状況を含めて経験と知識が豊富で、人柄からも、この方なら安心してまかせられると感じてお願いすることにしました。
実際、みゆきさんは、プロフェッショナルとしての能力が高いだけでなく、とても気さくで、何でも相談できる方でした。家の売却そのものだけでなく、それに付随したいろいろな問題の相談にも乗っていただき、的確なアドバイスとそのフォローアップもしていただき、本当に助かりました。みゆきさんにお願いできたのはラッキーだったと思います。
今は日本ですが、次に家を買うことがあっても、彼女のようなエージェントを見つけるのは無理だろうと思うくらい素晴らしい方でした。

(Translated by Google) I have lived in San Diego for 30 years. I thought that I could solve most things myself, but after all, mochi is a mochi shop (sorry for the old analogy!) The other day, I consulted Mr. Hoshina about some real estate matters, and he was willing to listen to what I had to say, and he was really helpful. I received some good advice. Of course, that advice completely solved the problem I was having. It feels refreshing.
Speaking of Ms. Hoshina, she had a column published in a San Diego Japanese information magazine for a long time, so I felt like she was a distant figure, but those unfounded worries disappeared as soon as I heard her voice on the phone. He disappeared somewhere, and we were able to talk without hesitation, as if we had been friends for ten years.
If you have any real estate-related questions, we highly recommend that you consult with Mr. Hoshina, who has a wealth of experience and knowledge as well as a wealth of unique ideas.

保科さんといえばサンディエゴの日本語情報誌にも長くコラムを掲載しておられたかたで、なんだか遠い存在のような気がしていましたが、そんな杞憂は電話で彼女の声を聞いた途端にどこかへ消え去り、あたかも十年来のお友達のように気負わずお話しする事ができました。
不動産関係のご質問がお有りでしたら、経験と知識が豊富で且つ奇抜なアイデアも沢山お持ちの保科さんにご相談される事を是非お勧めします。

They helped us tremendously when we bought our first home six years ago, and they helped us again this fall when we sold. We were able to successfully close escrow the other day thanks to Mr. Hoshina's straightforward personality, appropriate advice from his extensive experience, and quick response. I am sincerely grateful.

(Translated by Google) This time, my American husband went to the United States first, so my child and I looked for a house remotely from Japan.
Shortly after we started looking for a house, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, making it difficult to casually drop by open houses, making it increasingly difficult to choose a property, and we almost gave up on the house search many times along the way. Ta.
However, even in such a situation, Miyuki-san did not give up, and even though everyone was worried about the coronavirus pandemic, he continued to wear masks, disinfect, and maintain thorough hygiene management from the beginning.
They treated me with great care and I was very reliable.
We did not meet Miyuki-san through an introduction from anyone in particular, but when we read her blog, we were so impressed by her passion for her work that we decided to contact her. was. To my surprise, even though it was my first time contacting her, she was very polite and kind, and made me feel at ease as she seemed like a friendly lady. In addition, they not only listened to our requests, but also provided us with professional advice based on their long experience. I think we were really lucky not only to find a good property but also to meet Miyuki-san.

Miyuki was, and is, an extremely valuable partner in the process of buying our home in San Diego. She earned our trust early in our relationship, and we often relied on her expertise and deep knowledge of the market to guide us through the many decisions involved in making such a major commitment. In addition, she is very professional and service oriented, always being available to answer questions, but more importantly, listening closely to our thoughts and dreams for our new home and providing advice to help us find the right opportunity. Even after the sale, she continues to assist us with finding reliable professionals to assist with the move-in details.

(Translated by Google) Mr. Hoshina helped me six years ago when I bought a house for the first time in my life. When I made the offer, there were competitors, but I think Mr. Hoshina's hard work and sincerity were what got him through. The seller trusted us, and we were able to successfully purchase the home of our dreams.

Since then, to this day, whenever I have a problem with my home, I have always consulted with them kindly. I'm not very familiar with American customs and my English is poor, so her advice is very helpful. But above all, the most wonderful thing about Mr. Hoshina is that he thinks and acts in a way that not only makes himself and his customers happier, but also everyone involved, and even the whole community. That's it!

私は６年前、人生で初めて家を買う時、保科さんのお世話になりました。オファーした時、競争相手がいたのですが、保科さんの努力とまごころが、通じたのだと思います。売り主に信頼していただき、無事、念願の家を手に入れることができました。

その後も今日に至るまで、家のことについてトラブルがある度、親身に相談にのっていただいています。私はアメリカの習慣に十分通じていないし、英語も下手なので、彼女のアドバイスはたいへん助かります。しかし何といっても、保科さんの最も素晴らしい点は、自分や自分の客だけでなく、関わっている全ての人たちが、さらには地域全体が、よりハッピーになるよう考えて、行動されていることです！

For me the most important thing in the real estate transaction is the happy closure. A lot of money is involved in the transactions of course. I want to feel happy about the transaction and I want the other party (either seller or buyer) to feel the same way.

I am so glad that I experienced such transactions with Miyuki not just once but twice in five years, one for selling and other for buying. She has so much knowledge and expertise that she can easily guide you through the process.

If you want to experience the happy closure (and I believe most people do) I recommend working with Miyuki.

This time, we would like to ask you to sell condominiums as the coronavirus infection continues to spread.
I was very worried about what I was going to do.
However, thanks to the efforts of the buyer, Mr. Hoshina, and the escrow company, it was successfully completed.
I'm really happy that escrow has closed.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone involved for their efforts.

(Translated by Google) Thanks to Mr. Hoshina, we were able to purchase the property we were looking at.
Since it was a big purchase, we were worried that there would be things we didn't understand before the purchase or during the contract, but Mr. Hoshina has a wealth of knowledge about real estate in San Diego, and when we asked questions, he responded quickly and clearly answered what we wanted to know. I was able to leave the work to him with peace of mind.

He not only pointed out good things about the property, but also points to be careful of, and pointed out things that the average person would not notice, such as what the property would look like in the future, so he helped me find a better property that suited me. I was able to find it.

Even after the purchase, they will happily answer any questions you have and provide follow-up, so they are the best agents in San Diego who will work with you responsibly from before to after the purchase.
I will definitely ask Mr. Hoshina the next time I buy or sell.

My elderly aunt, who lives alone, was looking for an agent to sell her house in order to return to Japan.

(Translated by Google) If you are looking to buy a property in San Diego, I recommend Miyuki. She is quick to act, knowledgeable about San Diego geography, and knowledgeable about properties.
What sets Miyuki apart from others is her personality. We were very grateful for her bright smile and honest opinion, even though we had no knowledge of real estate.
I believe that buying a property requires a relationship of trust. I think it's a quick response. Miyuki's sincere response was immediately evident, and I was convinced that she was someone I could trust.
Every week when we were looking for a property, he would find us a lot of properties that matched our wishes and go out to look at them with us.
When I had a question, I was immediately given a detailed explanation via phone or message.
When I finally found the property I wanted, I was able to get in touch with the other party quickly, and thanks to that, I was able to conclude a contract and purchase.
Before I met Miyuki, I searched for properties with several agents, but none of them were as quick and friendly as Miyuki.
I would recommend Miyuki to anyone looking for a property in San Diego.

(Translated by Google) I suddenly decided to move from Japan to San Diego, and I was in a hurry to find a new home. So I looked for an agent with a good reputation locally and found Mr. Hoshina. I informed her of my wishes and received accurate advice from her, and we exchanged emails many times. In this way, we were able to narrow down potential areas and properties before coming to the United States. Thanks to that, I was able to have Mr. Hoshina show me around potential areas and properties right after I moved to the United States.
Although it still took some time to find the ideal property, I was able to obtain a variety of information from Mr. Hoshina about purchasing local real estate. I found a property that I thought was right for me, made an offer, and was able to purchase the property within my desired budget.
My family and I are very grateful to Mr. Hoshina, who understood our family and financial situation and gave us compassionate and accurate advice. Since it's a big purchase, I realized that it's important to have a relationship with an agent you can trust.

日本からサンディエゴへの転居が急に決まり、急いで新居を探すことになりました。そこで現地で評判のいいエージェントを探したところ、保科さんにたどり着きました。彼女にはこちらの希望を伝え、彼女からは的確なアドバイスをいただきながら、何度もメールでやり取りをしました。そうやって渡米前には候補のエリアと物件を絞り込むことができました。そのおかげで渡米してからすぐ候補のエリアと物件を保科さんに案内してもらうことができました。
