Real Estate Club OPEN: Uniting Industry Professionals
In just one year since its inception, the "Real Estate Club OPEN" has surpassed 900 members, representing 21 prefectures across Japan. Managed by Shine Realty Business Co., Ltd, this dynamic LINE group serves as a crucial platform for real estate professionals to exchange vital information about buying and selling properties, along with discussions on rentals, management, construction, and various other sectors.
A Free Community for Real Estate Professionals
Launched in August 2024, the Real Estate Club OPEN is a free, open chat community on LINE dedicated to sharing the latest news and transaction cases within the real estate sector. The aim is to create connections across industries, allowing not only real estate companies but also those from construction, management, and equipment fields to participate. This initiative is set to expand nationally, striving towards a 10,000-member industry network.
Fostering Real-Time Connections
Regular real-life networking events hold great importance in the club’s activities, where 40 to 50 real estate professionals gather. These interactions have already facilitated successful business transactions, including a recent agreement for purchasing a condominium in Tokyo. The club's ability to translate connections from digital platforms to real-world deals sets it apart from other groups.
The Vision Behind the Community Establishment
The driving force behind the Real Estate Club OPEN is a desire to eliminate the barriers in the industry and promote a friendly environment for information exchange. Koichi Nitta, the CEO of Shine Realty, reflects this vision in the company's mission, which emphasizes a strong service spirit and commitment to client satisfaction without prioritizing profits. This strategy paved the way for developing a unique community focused more on collaboration than mere profit.
Positive Feedback and Real Transactions

Future Aspirations for National Expansion
Looking ahead, the Real Estate Club OPEN aims to create a structure that allows participation from real estate firms across all 47 prefectures. Utilizing various methods, such as real-life events, metaverse interactions, and AI tools, the club aspires to build a modern industry network. Additional goals include hosting online seminars, sharing event recordings, and supporting digital transformation initiatives within the sector.
Koichi Nitta envisions scaling up this concept into a 10,000-strong network that significantly enhances information sharing and collaboration within the real estate business, thereby contributing to the industry's overall development. _"We are constantly exploring new forms of engagement to align with the evolving needs of our members. Our commitment remains firmly rooted in enhancing the real estate landscape across Japan."_
