Life Shift, Inc. Launches “Real Estate Referral Partner Program,” Which Eliminates the Need for Sales and Property Presentations by Referrers

Life Shift Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Yuki Narita) will launch its “Referral Partner Program” for rental and sales brokerage services in September 2026, as the company enters its second fiscal year.

Under this program, businesses that receive housing consultations—without engaging in sales activities or providing property explanations—refer prospective clients to our company and receive a commission upon the completion of a transaction. The program is open to small and medium-sized enterprises and sole proprietors; qualifications such as a Real Estate Transaction Specialist license or experience in real estate sales are not required.There are no referral quotas, and participation is subject to a screening process conducted by our company. We aim to partner with 100 companies in the first year, focusing primarily on Aichi Prefecture and the Tokai region, with plans to expand nationwide in stages.

For our first fiscal year ending August 2026, we project sales of approximately 140 million yen based solely on referrals, without any advertising expenditures (this figure represents the company-wide projection, not just the real estate division). This program is designed to ensure that such results are not left to chance.

Program Structure

■ Background

Consultations regarding finding a new home, moving, or selling one’s home are often directed toward familiar local businesses with whom people have an existing relationship. Construction companies, renovation firms, insurance agencies, and professional service firms are typically the ones who receive these inquiries.

However, those receiving such inquiries do not necessarily know which real estate professionals are trustworthy, leading to cases where the customer’s needs go unmet. For those seeking advice, it is also difficult to independently identify a reliable real estate professional in a field where transactions occur infrequently.

With real estate brokerage as our core business, we have dedicated staff for both rentals and sales. Because we have a system in place to handle inquiries based on their specific content, we established this program as a framework that benefits all three parties: the referring party, the customer, and our company. As we mark our first anniversary since our founding, we are launching our second-year initiative to build a network of partnerships with local businesses.

■ Program Details

Our referral partners are responsible for directing prospective clients to a dedicated webpage. The client enters the necessary information directly on this page themselves. This takes only a few minutes. There is no property description, financial planning proposal, appraisal value presentation, or contract processing involved.

All explanations, proposals, and contract procedures following the referral will be handled entirely by our staff. We assume full legal responsibility for all mandatory disclosures—including the explanation of important matters required under the Real Estate Transaction Business Act—and referral partners bear no liability for these disclosures.

A commission is payable only upon successful completion of a transaction. Rather than a commission tied to sales volume, we pay a predetermined amount based on the transaction category. Details regarding the commission amount and payment terms will be explained during our meeting. Payment is made in the month following our confirmation of receipt of the funds after the transaction is completed.

Regarding customer information, rather than having referral partners provide lists or similar materials, customers enter their information directly via a dedicated webpage.

We do not set quotas or minimum requirements for the number of referrals, and there will be no contractual penalties even if there are periods without referred cases.

Before participating, we will conduct a screening process to confirm your business operations and approach to clients, after which we will enter into a contract. Contract documents will be prepared based on expert advice and will be implemented with clearly defined terms regarding compensation, information handling, and scope of liability.

■ Message from the CEO

Our company name derives from the fact that our work involves being present at the turning points in people’s lives—specifically, when they are considering a new home. When clients find themselves at such a turning point, the first people they turn to for advice are the local businesses they know and deal with on a daily basis. We have always aspired to be the trusted partner that these businesses can confidently refer their clients to.

That is why we designed our system so that referring partners bear no burden for sales or explanations. We assume responsibility for providing expert explanations, and we will handle each case with care to ensure it results in the best possible choice for the referred client.
