The Opposite of a Portal: Advisor-Led Property Search

A brief, an advisor, and access to properties that are not on the market

Most international property searches in Israel begin — and end — on a portal. The result is predictable: a qualified buyer scrolls through hundreds of listings, most poorly presented or already sold, never seeing the properties that actually match their brief. Our approach is different. We begin with a private conversation, define a precise brief, and conduct the search across our network of advisors, brokers, and direct sellers in Israel. You see fewer properties, but the right ones.

The Precise Brief

Vague briefs produce mediocre searches. Our initial conversation covers price range, target neighbourhoods, architectural type, surface, orientation, usage schedule, and — crucially — the investment philosophy (yield, preservation, future aliyah, primary residence). A well-constructed brief allows us to filter 80% of inventory before the first visit.

Off-Market Access

A substantial share of premium transactions in Israel happen off-market. Our role is to circulate your brief — anonymously, through a curated network of fellow advisors and known sellers — so the right properties find you. This is a relationship process, not a portal. It takes time. It is also why our clients access properties other buyers never see.

Negotiation

Once the property is identified, negotiation is handled by your principal advisor in coordination with your lawyer. We manage viewings, counter-offers, payment timelines, and conditions precedent. You make the decisions; we manage execution. Our interest is aligned with yours: a good entry price determines the asset's performance over ten years.

Process

How we work

01

Initial Conversation

Private, confidential brief. We assess your objective, your timeline, and the coherence of the brief with the current market.

02

Circulation and Pre-Selection

We circulate the brief in our network and pre-select 5–10 exactly-matching properties, the majority off-market.

03

Viewings and Shortlist

Viewings organised on a single Israel trip when possible. A 2–3 property shortlist at the end.

04

Negotiation and Closing

Offer, negotiation, contract, due diligence with your lawyer, staged payment, Tabu registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the service cost?

We are paid on acquisition commission, settled at closing. We discuss precise terms during the initial brief, depending on complexity and price range.

How long does a typical search take?

For a well-defined brief and realistic price range: three to six months on average. For a trophy asset or highly-constrained neighbourhood (Talbiyeh, Galei Tchelet), six to twelve months.

Do you work with foreign buyers?

It is our core business since 2009. The majority of our clients are French, American, British, and Latin American. We coordinate with your lawyer, bank, and tax advisors.
