- LIFULL Co., Limited delivers extensive real estate information and associated lifestyle services primarily within Japan. The company operates LIFULL HOME'S, a premier online platform offering a vast array of real estate and housing data, assisting users in finding properties for rent or purchase, including apartments, houses, and land. Beyond its flagship portal, LIFULL engages in projects like LIFULL Revitalize Rural Japan, proposing innovative living solutions through the refurbishment of vacant properties, and managing LivingAnywhere Commons, a network of communal spaces for flexible work and living. The company also offers LIFULL Nursing Care, a prominent online directory for senior living facilities and care homes, and Kenbiya, a significant resource for real estate investment opportunities. Additionally, LIFULL provides various supplementary services such as moving support and insurance-related offerings. In a strategic shift to emphasize its domestic market, LIFULL completed the divestment of its overseas subsidiary, LIFULL CONNECT S.L.U., in January 2025, which previously managed international property aggregation sites including Trovit and Mitula. This realignment allows the company to concentrate its resources on enhancing its core Japanese operations, where it generates revenue predominantly by charging real estate professionals for property listings and access to its comprehensive services, utilizing an inquiry-based pricing model for rental and resale markets. LIFULL continuously integrates advanced technology, such as AI-powered features for property search and vacant home valuation, to enrich user experience and streamline its offerings. The firm was established as NEXT Co., Ltd. in March 1997 by Takashi Inoue in Yokohama, later rebranding to LIFULL Co., Ltd. in April 2017 to unify its brand identity, and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Its overarching mission is to foster comfort and happiness through continuous social innovations within the housing sector, supporting both individual property seekers and real estate businesses.
