We are a start-up company that develops and provides 『REMETIS』 an integrated data platform that accelerates commercial real estate transactions. The service is currently being used by real estate developers and funds, as well as financial institutions, construction companies, and brokerage firms. The organization is composed of members with a rich international background, and is expanding its business both domestically and internationally.
Using 『REMETIS』is simple; simply drag and drop property information in PDF files to create a database. The data is automatically linked to a map and integrated with various data such as past land sales history, rents, yields, land prices, and development examples, making it possible to search for information necessary for real estate investment and financing analysis in a one-stop operation. In addition, for real estate distribution operations, buying needs can be organized along with properties for sale, and sales and purchases are automatically matched. This systematically introduces properties, which tends to be a personalized process, thereby preventing omissions. The above enables speedy and highly accurate information gathering, profitability studies, and property introductions, as well as revitalization of meetings, standardization of operations, paperless operation, and reduction of opportunity loss due to missing out on good deals.
