Everything you need to know about buying property in Israel with Y Realty Group.

We charge transparent, fixed fees for our services — no commissions, no percentages based on property value, and no hidden costs. You pay directly to suppliers and contractors, with us managing the process. This model eliminates conflicts of interest and ensures we always act in your best interest.
Yes! We offer power-of-attorney options that allow you to complete the entire purchase remotely. We serve as your trusted on-ground representative, handling property viewings, inspections, legal meetings, and even renovation oversight. We provide detailed photos, videos, and reports so you stay fully informed.
We operate across all major Israeli markets, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Netanya, Haifa, Ra'anana, Herzliya, and surrounding areas. We'll help you identify the neighborhoods that best match your lifestyle, budget, and investment goals.
A typical property purchase in Israel takes 3 to 6 months from initial search to closing. This includes property search, due diligence, legal processes, mortgage arrangement, and closing. If renovation is involved, additional time may be needed depending on the scope of work.
The "American Price" refers to the practice of inflating property prices and service fees for overseas buyers. Because we have no financial ties to sellers or developers and charge fixed fees instead of commissions, we have zero incentive to push higher prices. Our local presence and market expertise ensure you pay fair, Israeli-market rates.
Not necessarily, but many buyers choose to finance a portion of their purchase. Israeli banks offer mortgages to foreign buyers, typically covering 50–70% of the property value. Our mortgage advisory service helps you navigate the options, compare rates, and secure favorable terms. We coordinate the entire process.
Key taxes include purchase tax (Mas Rechisha), which varies based on property value and buyer status, and potential capital gains tax upon future sale. Non-residents may face different tax rates. Our tax experts advise on both Israeli and U.S. tax implications, helping you optimize your investment and ensure full compliance.
We provide end-to-end renovation management: obtaining fixed-price quotes from vetted contractors, independent construction supervision, and detailed weekly progress updates with photos. You pay contractors directly, and our independent oversight ensures quality, timeline, and budget adherence.
Our inspectors are fully independent — they have no ties to sellers, developers, or contractors. This means their findings are unbiased and purely in your interest. We provide comprehensive reports covering structural integrity, electrical, plumbing, and any potential issues that could affect your investment.
