Case Studies
Case Studies: Trust in Results
Our success is measured by maximizing our clients’ profits and making them happy.
We provide a trustworthy, professional, and transparent partnership.
Key Success Themes
Axios Management excels where many companies fail—by providing top people to manage your investment after the sale.
Trust and Integrity
Clients are impressed by the professionalism and dedication of Tsuyoshi Hikichi, who works hard to protect the foreign investor's interest.
Operational Excellence
The team is extremely proactive in maximizing both short- and long-term property income. They are very communicative, responsive to questions, and quickly get things cleaned up at the property.
Peace of Mind
Clients feel a sense of peace of mind knowing their investments are well taken care of.
Quantifiable Results
We actively work to resolve common client concerns, such as the period of vacant units and the cost of repair and restoration work.
Maximized Returns
By quickly taking action, Axios can stabilize and increase rents and move properties "into the black." One client reported their costs have drastically decreased, resulting in a much better ROI.
Rapid Occupancy
We successfully fill empty units within weeks, not months. One client reported that over 95% of units have been filled over the years under our management.
Rapid Turnaround Case
When we started management for one apartment block, there were 30% of the total units vacant, but we successfully filled it up within 3 months.
Value Optimization
We helped with renovation, managed to increase the rent, and then sold the property for a higher price.
The Master Lease Pitfall and Axios’s Resolution
This case study demonstrates why it is crucial to work with trusted providers from the outset, as foreign property owners rely heavily on their agents and are easy targets for financial misspelling.
Case Study: Exclusive Agency and Uncompetitive Fees
The Pitfall
A foreign investor purchased a new condo but was prompted to sign a Master Lease Agreement with a local Japanese firm. While the agreement initially appealed by offering a tax avoidance scheme (deferring the 20.42% corporate withholding tax liability) , the investor found a hidden provision: an exclusive agent restriction that included property management.
Cost Discovery
Upon comparison, the investor discovered that the fees the Local Firm charged for acting as a tax agent and accountant were significantly higher than Axios Management's competitive fees.
Resolution
Feeling misled, the client terminated the restrictive Master Lease Agreement with the Local Firm and appointed Axios to manage all of its properties in Japan. Our competitive fees will help you maximize profits.
