Services we provide to our clients include:

Real Estate Market Analysis
Sapient's practical and analytical experience enables us to provide our clients with insightful analysis of real estate markets in Japan . We are able not only to analyze basic details of the real estate market but we also combine such analysis with demographic and economic analysis to provide a unique depth of market understanding.

Real Estate Market Forecasting
Sapient's founder received his training in econometrics in the Economics and Regional Science departments of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States . This training, along with extensive practical application of econometric analysis to real world data enables Sapient to provide its clients with high-quality analysis and forecasting in the Japanese real estate market.

Building Market Valuation
Most real estate appraisers in Japan are focused on using accepted formulas rather than deriving value reflecting current market conditions. Sapient's focus is on producing valuations for its clients that reflect existing market conditions.

Building Portfolio Analysis
A significant percentage of asset book value for many listed companies in Japan is in real estate. However analysis of corporate real estate portfolios is in many cases superficial and the real value of real estate assets held by listed companies remains murky. Sapient has experience analyzing the real estate portfolios of listed companies in order to provide an accurate estimation of the market value of such assets.
