I’m looking for an English speaking real estate agent for buying a detached house in Kyoto.

I googled, but it mostly lists apartment finding representatives. Does anyone with experience buying a detached house have a referral for a good agent?

Also, what was your experience going through the process in Kyoto? I find it odd that there is only one agent involved in the process and not two agents representing the interests of both the buyer and seller. Plus, there are many other laws and practices that seem illogical at times and having a good agent can help us understand the best moves.
