業務提携を提案する海外不動産会社に、市場知識や顧客ネットワーク、収益分配を業務提携枠組みで説明する場面です。
👨💼【Teacher / International Real Estate Director】:
Thank you for meeting with us today. We're exploring a partnership to enter the Japanese market. Could you explain your company's strengths in local market knowledge and customer networks?
(本日はお会いいただきありがとうございます。日本市場参入のための提携を検討しています。貴社の地域市場知識と顧客ネットワークにおける強みを説明していただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Manager】:
Thank you for your interest. We have operated in Tokyo and Osaka for 15 years and built strong relationships with over 500 corporate clients. Our team includes 20 local agents who understand regional regulations and customer preferences. This network allows us to identify high-value properties quickly and close deals within 3 months on average.
(ご関心をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。私どもは東京と大阪で15年間営業しており、500社を超える法人顧客と強固な関係を築いてきました。当社チームには地域の規制と顧客の好みを理解する20名の地元エージェントが在籍しています。このネットワークにより、高価値物件を迅速に特定し、平均3か月以内に取引を成立させることができます。)
👨💼【Teacher / International Real Estate Director】:
That's impressive. However, we need to understand your service structure in detail. What kind of support can you provide for international clients, and how do you handle language barriers and legal compliance?
(それは素晴らしいですね。しかし、貴社のサービス体制を詳しく理解する必要があります。海外顧客に対してどのようなサポートを提供できますか?また、言語の壁や法令順守にはどう対応していますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Manager】:
We offer full bilingual support with English-speaking staff available at all stages. Our legal team reviews every contract to ensure compliance with Japanese property laws and tax regulations. We also provide after-sales services including property management and tenant coordination. These services reduce risks for international partners and help them avoid costly mistakes during market entry.
(私どもは全段階で英語対応スタッフによる完全なバイリンガルサポートを提供しています。当社の法務チームはすべての契約を審査し、日本の不動産法と税制への準拠を確保します。また、物件管理やテナント調整を含むアフターサービスも提供しています。これらのサービスは海外パートナーのリスクを軽減し、市場参入時の高額な失敗を回避する助けとなります。)
👨💼【Teacher / International Real Estate Director】:
I see the value in your services. Now, let's discuss the revenue-sharing model. What percentage split do you propose, and how do you calculate commissions on joint deals?
(貴社のサービスの価値は理解しました。では、収益分配モデルについて話し合いましょう。どのような割合の分配を提案されますか?また、共同案件での手数料はどう計算されますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Manager】:
We propose a 60-40 revenue split, with 60 percent for your company as the property source provider and 40 percent for us as the local partner. Commissions are calculated based on the final transaction price, typically 3 percent for commercial properties and 5 percent for residential. We will handle all local administrative costs, and you will cover international marketing expenses. This structure ensures both sides benefit fairly while keeping costs transparent.
(私どもは60対40の収益分配を提案します。物件提供元である貴社が60パーセント、地元パートナーである私どもが40パーセントです。手数料は最終取引価格に基づいて計算され、通常は商業物件で3パーセント、住宅物件で5パーセントです。私どもはすべての現地管理費用を負担し、貴社は国際マーケティング費用を負担します。この構造により、双方が公平に利益を得られ、費用も透明に保たれます。)
👨💼【Teacher / International Real Estate Director】:
That sounds reasonable. Let me confirm one more point. How soon can you start working on joint projects, and what initial steps do you recommend to set up this partnership?
(それは妥当に思えます。もう1点確認させてください。共同プロジェクトにはどれくらい早く着手できますか?また、この提携を立ち上げるためにどのような初期ステップを推奨されますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Real Estate Sales Manager】:
We can begin within 2 weeks after contract signing. I recommend we first set up a joint working group with 3 members from each side to define target property types and client segments. Next, we should prepare a shared database and communication platform for deal tracking. Finally, we can launch a pilot project with 5 properties to test the partnership model before full-scale operations. This approach reduces risks and allows both teams to adjust processes as needed.
(契約締結後2週間以内に開始できます。まず、双方から3名ずつの共同作業グループを設置し、対象物件タイプと顧客セグメントを定義することをお勧めします。次に、取引追跡のための共有データベースと連絡プラットフォームを準備すべきです。最後に、本格運用の前に提携モデルを試すため、5物件でパイロットプロジェクトを開始できます。このアプローチはリスクを軽減し、両チームが必要に応じてプロセスを調整できるようにします。)
👨💼【Teacher / International Real Estate Director】:
Excellent. Your plan is clear and practical. Let's move forward with drafting the partnership agreement and scheduling the first working group meeting. I look forward to a successful collaboration.
(素晴らしい。貴社の計画は明確で実用的です。提携契約の起草と最初の作業グループ会議の日程調整を進めましょう。成功する協力関係を楽しみにしています。)
