Shojiki Fudosan 2 (正直不動産2)

Mr. Tosaka.

How are you finding your new full-commission employee?

As expected,

he's quite the go-getter.

Thank you.

I hope the tiger isn't too aggressive in this Tiger Balm.

-Kiriyama. -Yes?

Thank you for everything thus far.

How can I ever repay you?

Well,

perhaps you could order me something sweet from here, like--

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I didn't realize.

Please. Take your time.

Kiriyama.

QUEEN OF REAL ESTATE MADAM

Was it something I said?

He must have taken it the wrong way.

Of course.

Here. Have a seat.

How is he, by the way? That boy of mine.

How is Kento doing?

KENTO TOKAGE GEN Z SALES

So you've been accepted into Hitotsubashi University.

In that case, I'd recommend this property, as it has no transfers for your commute.

That's nice,

but I'd really like to live in Yaoki while I'm in Tokyo.

I used to come here a lot when I was in Saitama.

FIVE MINS. ON FOOT FROM YAOKI STATION

Sorry to be a bother.

SHINGO AOE

My parents were always on my back during this interim.

FIRST YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT RENTAL CONSULTATION

Please, take all the time you need to consider your first solo apartment.

I knew it!

You have a good eye!

KEISUKE KUROSU REAL ESTATE SALESMAN

I knew this would be a winner.

Perfect for your first time on your own, and Mom can rest easy.

I knew it!

See, Mom? Mr. Kurosu says it's fine.

A big, obnoxious voice isn't going to persuade them.

I agree!

-I want her somewhere safe. -Of course.

It's over budget, but please?

Shall I arrange all the paperwork?

-Let's do it! -Hooray!

He did it!

-Here. -Thank you.

Right. I've made up my mind.

Great.

Can we see it again?

Okay.

Dang, how can I make him make up his mind?

Consider it from the money side of things.

They're all within your budget,

but in terms of facilities and proximity to the station,

will you find something better than this?

Because I think you will.

I've handpicked all of these properties,

but I won't stop until you're satisfied

so let's get out there and see more properties!

Come on. Let's go.

What?

RENTAL APARTMENT AMBITIOUS YAOKI

I just need one more month.

Then I'll be able to back pay for two months.

CONSULTATION REGARDING RENTAL ARREARS

Two months?

I got a new job, so I promise!

Miss Kiyokawa.

Can you tell me why you're three months in arrears?

I thought everything was all right when I found this place for you.

ASUMI KIYOKAWA THEATRICAL PERFORMER

I couldn't get enough hours at work until just last month.

LIAR ROMEO AND HONEST JULIET

Don't tell me…

ASUMI KIYOKAWA

It's you!

You're with Honnami Theater?

Yes, but it's only a minor role.

You said you'd always dreamed of performing with Honnami Theater.

That's why you came to the big city.

I'll bet your parents are thrilled.

Yeah.

They've always had your back.

I've got a long way to go.

I've finally got another big audition lined up.

And so,

I can't lose my home right now.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

What's up, Tsukishita?

Well…

I just had an arrears consultation.

It's an all-inclusive studio apartment at 59,000 yen a month.

AMBITIOUS YAOKI RENT 59,000 YEN

It's a great property, the best in the area,

but the tenant is now three months in arrears.

I see.

And beyond three months, the owner can issue eviction proceedings.

They're not in a good place right now.

EVICTION PROCEEDINGS

COURT GETS INVOLVED IN ORDERING A TENANT TO VACATE

I want to be able to help.

It's just that "customer first" is very hypocritical.

No.

I'll do my best.

Hello?

Yes, it's good to hear from you.

Yes.

And that's a done deal!

KEISUKE KUROSU

-Wow. -Impressive.

Nagase. Better watch your back or you'll lose the upper hand.

That's full commission for you right there.

-Full commission? -Yeah.

What's full commission?

Full commission means everything I earn comes through commission.

Like a freelance partnership with Tosaka Real Estate.

That sounds like a sweet deal.

However, Kurosu must pay for all branded business cards out of his own pocket.

Business gifts are also at his own expense.

If he wants to use our photocopier, that's 10 yen per page.

But here's the kicker!

SALARY-BASED - FULL COMMISSION

Unlike us salary-based employees,

his income is capped only by his results.

Compared to us, he gets a 60% commission on sales at Tosaka Real Estate.

The sky's the limit!

Or you could end up with nothing.

Of course, some of us are out there

enjoying the high-rise life, even without being on full commission.

Yeah, the high rise.

I'd love to see how you do it.

I can do it whenever--

Say it, hero.

Not so straight and narrow now, are you?

Tell him, Nagase!

I'll get there soon, you'll see.

Hello, Saichi Nagase from Tosaka Real Estate.

You should think about full commission, Tokage.

Buy yourself a watch, a car, whatever you like.

And just watch all the girls flock to you.

I don't care about that.

But…

This will be your second viewing.

I'll lock it in.

I'd like to schedule a time to speak directly with the owner.

Sounds like time well spent.

TIM - TIME IS MONEY

Major respect.

You know it.

Finger snap? Really? Yes, well done.

THE HONEST REALTOR 2

Here. Leaflets for our newest additions.

Give them a good check.

EP 6 OF 10 COMING INTO FULL BLOOM

All the first-year students and new employees come out in the spring.

Can't this all be digital?

Who uses paper anymore?

The real estate industry

stands resolute in its old, fuddy-duddy ways.

Listen up.

These leaflets

are a sacred relic of the ingenuity of realtors over the decades!

Only paper can give you that certain sense of warmth!

The age of analog is not over yet!

Hey, Nagase, can I ask you something?

One of my landlord friends is in a bind.

It seems one of his tenants is constantly in arrears.

He wants the money, or he wants them out.

RENTAL PAYMENT HISTORY

Either way, he wants this resolved as soon as possible.

Can't the rental guarantor company handle it?

Well, this guy's pretty old-fashioned.

He approved the rental agreement

with just a relative as guarantor to bypass a guarantor company.

What is this landlord, a dodo?

Can you help me, Nagase?

Well…

Mr. Nagase.

I need your advice.

First him, now you.

I'm about to go and see the landlord for that client of mine who's in arrears.

In arrears?

May I ask which property it is?

It's Ambitious Yaoki.

Ambitious Yaoki?

That's it, Nagase!

The owner is Mr. Inoguchi. He's the one I need to help.

What?

This is perfect! Two birds with one stone.

How is this perfect?

The landlord and the tenant are at complete odds with each other.

What do you mean?

I see how it is.

You knew Tsukishita would take the tenant's side,

and you knew it would complicate things so you come crawling to me.

Nagase. You owe me a favor, remember?
