You can't walk the property, chase the paperwork, or sit across from the seller. I do all of it for you, on the ground. - from choosing the property and checking what it is really worth, through negotiating the price, the specification and the commercial terms, to the contract and registering the rights in your name. Israelis abroad, olim, and foreign residents.
Two gaps, not one
Across the table sit developers, contractors, brokers and salespeople who do this every single day. You? Once or twice in a lifetime. That gap is exactly where buyers get pressured, make mistakes, and overpay - and sometimes walk away from an excellent deal.
Buying from overseas adds a second gap on top of the first. You are relying on photographs and on what you are told. You cannot drop in unannounced, read the street at eight in the evening, or notice what sits on the other side of the wall. Every check that a local buyer performs by simply showing up, someone has to perform for you. And when the seller's lawyer sends a draft at four in the afternoon Israel time, you are asleep.
My job is to close both gaps. I bring to the table every discipline the other side holds and place it solely on your side, and I am physically there for the parts you cannot be there for. Flying in for a signing is not the problem. The problem is the ninety decisions that happen between the flights.
One person on the ground. Speaking only for you.
The professional background
Proven experience from both worlds of a real-estate deal - the business-professional side and the legal side - united in one person, on your side.
Years of real-estate development & business development at leading Israeli firms
Over NIS 5 billion - the combined value of the residential projects I've managed at Tidhar and Vitkin Perry. I've examined and analyzed hundreds of deals, negotiated huge land- and building-acquisition transactions, and led complex tenant engagements in urban-renewal projects.
Senior attorney, formerly at Fischer (FBC)
I've handled hundreds of sale transactions for Israel's largest developers and contractors. The contracts a developer puts in front of you are ones I know inside out - some I drafted myself.
A focused call of about 20 minutes.
The process
Two quick questions, and I'll play you a short story - exactly where I step in for you.
Tick what's already agreed with the seller - wherever it's still open, that's where I step in.

The full process
Guidance in choosing the property that fits - new-build or resale - against your criteria and needs, alongside a deep analysis of the real market prices in the neighborhood. I consolidate all the information and alternatives into a detailed report including an interactive map: a complete, cool-headed picture of the market, with a professional eye and not an emotional one - before diving into any specific property.
Pricing an apartment isn't just price times floor area. The right price is also set by layout, floor, orientation, specification and parking. A flat with planning flexibility is worth more and stays liquid.
As a developer, my apartments had to beat the competition. I apply that same eye to your property - good planning preserves value.
The sales specification is the apartment: what's written in it - you'll get; what isn't - you'll pay dearly for later, both in upgrade costs with the suppliers and in installation costs. I know these specs inside out, and I know the developers' real limits.
This is where it all comes together. I step in on your behalf against every party - agent, marketer, contractor, developer and seller - and everything we've analyzed becomes the cards I lay on the table in a determined negotiation over price, terms and specification. Here my experience, from both sides of the table, translates directly into better terms for you.
Everything we agreed is translated into a tight contract - no traps - that protects you all the way through.
Who manages the deal
For years I stood at the heart of the development and execution divisions of Israel's leading real-estate firms, and saw what a deal looks like from the strong side of the table - and just how alone home-buyers are against it. I realized they deserve exactly that same power, experience and resolve - only this time on their side. And that holds for both sides of the deal: I bring the same experience and resolve to sellers too - from accurate pricing, through negotiation, to the contract.

FAQ
In most cases the great majority of the process is handled without you being here, and often the entire process is. Viewing and assessing properties, checking the rights and the planning position, negotiating with the seller or the developer, and the contract itself are all things I do on the ground and report back on. Where your physical presence or signature is genuinely required, we plan it in advance around a single trip rather than discovering it at the last minute. What matters is deciding this at the start, because it shapes the timetable and the powers of attorney we prepare.
This is one of the most common points of confusion, and it matters because purchase tax treats the categories differently. An Israeli resident who happens to live abroad, a foreign resident, and a new oleh are three different positions, each with its own conditions, and some carry benefits that depend on timing. People routinely assume they fall into one category and turn out to be in another. It is worth establishing your status before you commit to anything, because it affects both the tax and the order in which you should do things. Your specific circumstances need to be examined on their own facts.
The time gap is a real operational issue, not a detail. Israeli deals move during Israeli business hours: a draft arrives at four in the afternoon here, a developer wants an answer by the morning, an authority closes at one. The arrangement that works is simple - I act inside the Israeli day on everything that has been agreed in advance, and we hold scheduled calls at a fixed hour that suits your time zone. What we never do is let a decision wait eight hours for you to wake up when it did not need to.
Yes, both - each with its own checklist. In a developer purchase the focus is on the developer, the Sale Law guarantees, the technical specification and indexation terms; in second-hand - the state of the rights, property checks, and fitting the contract to the facts on the ground. My experience from both sides of the table applies in both cases.
Absolutely. The same experience I bring to the buyer's side I also put at sellers' service: accurate pricing of the property, guidance through the sale process, reviewing the offers received, negotiating price and terms, and the full legal side through the contract, taxes and registration. End to end, or legal-only if that's what you prefer.
Absolutely. Investors get exactly the same full accompaniment: guidance in choosing the property that fits your criteria, professional pricing based on real closed deals, a planning review of the property's potential, negotiating price and terms, and the full legal side through registration. My experience from the developers' side helps spot properties that hold their value over time. The financial decision is yours - I make sure the deal itself is sound and secure.
With legal representation I'm responsible for the legal side of the deal - preliminary checks, the legal negotiation over the contract, signing, reporting and registering the rights. On the full track I manage the entire deal for you - guidance in choosing the right property, planning checks, negotiating the price, specification and commercial terms, plus the entire legal side through to registration in your name. The difference is the level of involvement: with legal representation I protect the deal you've made; on the full track I manage it for you, end to end.
Absolutely. Even once the apartment is found, the points that determine the quality of the deal are still ahead of you: pricing the property correctly, negotiating the price and the specification, preliminary checks, and the structure of the contract.
As early as possible - and most importantly: before you sign any document, including "registration forms" or "purchase requests" that look harmless. The earlier I come in, the more points there are where the deal can still be shaped. But even if you're already deep in the process - it's worth talking.
A focused call of about 20 minutes: you tell me where you stand - searching, found a home, or about to sign - and together we map the risk points and the right order of actions. By the end of the call you'll know the next steps, how I can help, and how to proceed if you choose to.
