About Aki Shimizu


Aki's Story
Growing up in Tokyo and spending over a decade living and working in New York gave me a perspective that's rare in this industry — I understand both sides of the experience.
New York is one of the world's most diverse cities, and living there didn't just make me bilingual; it made me bicultural. I learned how to connect with people from all walks of life, and that has shaped the way I work with every client.
At heart, I'm a people person. The relationships I build with clients are what drive me — whether I'm helping someone find the right property, guiding an owner through a sale, or working with an investor looking for opportunities in Tokyo.
As an English-speaking real estate agent in Tokyo, my mission is simple: to give international buyers, sellers, and investors the knowledge, clarity, and confidence they need to make the right real estate decisions. Whether buying, selling, or investing, real estate involves important decisions — often in a market and system that may be unfamiliar.
I take that responsibility seriously, and I'm committed to being the kind of agent my clients can truly rely on.
