Kikumori Real Estate was built on a simple idea: buying, selling, or leasing property shouldn't be harder just because you speak a different language or come from a different culture. Novi, Michigan is home to the largest Japanese community in the Midwest, yet for years, many families and businesses relocating here struggled to find real estate professionals who truly understood both their language and their culture — not just their budget.
That's where we come in. We help Japanese families, businesses, and international investors navigate Metro Detroit real estate with clarity, honesty, and zero language barriers. Whether it's a family searching for their first home near the right school district, or a corporation establishing a new headquarters, every client works directly with someone who understands both worlds — American real estate systems and Japanese expectations for trust, precision, and respect.
No hidden terms, no confusing paperwork left unexplained. Every client knows exactly what's happening and why, at every stage.
We don't just translate words — we translate expectations, customs, and processes so nothing gets lost between two very different real estate systems.
Whether it's a $250,000 home or an $8 million commercial deal, every client gets the same level of attention and care.
We're not chasing a single transaction. Many of our clients come back for their next purchase, referral, or corporate expansion.







Pick a time that works for you — in English or Japanese — and book directly on Kenta's calendar. No forms, no back-and-forth.
We understand your goals and timeline, in your preferred language.
Every recommendation is backed by real market knowledge.
Proactive updates, so you're never left wondering.
We walk you through every step, all the way to signing day.

Kenta did an outstanding job in the purchase of my new home. He was attentive, quick to respond, and always went above and beyond to get the best deal for me during the buying process as well as the inspection process getting concessions! He is very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had in a thorough manner and I never felt like I couldn’t get ahold of him. I would definitely recommend him as an agent to family and friends and will use him in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Kenta is very serious and does his job accurately. He also keeps his promises. That's why I was able to trust him with the task of selling my house. In the end, the house sold for a high price, so I was very satisfied. And it sold in a short period of time. After that, he was always there to give me advice if anything came up. He is someone I can be friends with for the rest of my life.
