Real Estate Package
Buying a home in Israel for people from around the world and for Anglos living in Israel can be a confusing and overwhelming process. Whether purchasing a home to live in now or in the future, or as an investment, the process is often very different from what buyers are accustomed to. In addition, many buyers are unsure which professionals they can trust.
Because Olim Advisors is not a real estate company, it is in a unique position to help without any conflict of interest. We guide Anglos and Olim through the home-buying process, ensuring they work only with reputable professionals. Our interests are 100% aligned with those of our clients, and our only goal is to protect them throughout the process.
Our experienced advisors provide this personalized real estate guidance FREE OF CHARGE, supporting clients every step of the way, from choosing the right community and searching for a home to signing the contract and receiving the keys to their new home.
Duration of service:
The service begins from when you sign up and continues for 6 months. In the event that the client is in the midst of closing a transaction at the 6 month point in time, your advisor will continue to support you until the transaction is complete.
This package Includes:
- Initial consultation – 1 hour video conference call to understand your situation and talk about your options in Israel.
- Checklist – We will supply you with a detailed checklist to help us identify which communities are suitable for you and the type of homes that will meet your needs.
- Overview of the Mortgage process – We will give you an overview of mortgages in Israel and go over a number of the key financial variables that may impact the buying process.
- List of Communities – Based on your preferences and requirements, we will compile a list of communities that best fit your needs.
- Introduction to Realtors – Once we have identified the communities that may be suitable for you, we will introduce you to realtors in our network. All of our realtors have been carefully selected because of their stellar reputation and genuine desire to help Anglos and Olim buy a home in Israel.
- Access to properties before they are marketed to the general public – Olim Advisors has strategic partnerships with a number of the leading developers in Israel. Through these partnerships, Olim Advisors’ clients may be notified of properties that suit their needs before they are marketed to the general public.
- Introduction to our network of real estate professionals – In addition to introducing buyers to realtors in our network, we will also introduce buyers to other professionals who are involved in the transaction including real estate lawyers, mortgage brokers, bankers, etc.
- Ongoing oversight of the buying transaction – Olim Advisors will remain involved in the buying process of our clients’ home in order to ensure that our clients’ interests are protected.
