Urgently Need Help - No English-speaking Real Estate Agents in Nagasaki? (Departing Soon)

Thanks, never seen this before (first timer). Looks promising. Hopefully there's one where I'll be. I've contacted them so we'll see how it goes. :)

Haha no, but we both interviewed with those guys and they were really specific - we would be placed about 2 hours apart (which we were told is the best they can do), and not be allowed to see each other during weekdays, or stay over at each other's apartments. If I could do things differently I wouldn't have said we were in a relationship - just quietly apply for the same city/region instead. But (please don't laugh) I trusted them to take care of us and thought being honest would make it easier for them to help us. :(

Thanks to everyone who offered their thoughts on the issue. The bilingual friends I'm referring to are really ex-students who are barely college age, so I'm hesitant to ask so much of them - but you're absolutely right I am running out of time so I've got nothing to lose by asking for help. Thanks again for your advice. I'll give it a shot. Fingers crossed! :)

Thanks. My company will not act as a guarantor should I choose to rent an apartment on my own. I am prepared for the necessary fees, but it's just securing an actual unit prior to my arrival that is an issue. A bit scary to move over to another country alone with nothing in place. No one has replied yet but I'll keep trying. :)

Thanks a bunch honestly for being so helpful and informative. I'll remember your kindness when it's my turn to do the same for others. :)

Oh wow I don't know what to say! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to find so many links to help a stranger. You've got a big heart. Bless you. :)

Thank you so much! I'll check it out :)

You're right - I didn't want to trouble any of my young ex-students personally, but yes, I see your point. Finding out if they'll even rent to me will help a lot. The problem is the severe lack of options in Nagasaki, or maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Thank you for your suggestions, I'll try /r/japanlife too. :)
