Common Questions
Answers for Foreign Buyers
Yes. Israeli banks regularly extend mortgages to foreign buyers, typically financing up to 50% of the purchase price (sometimes 60%). Rates and terms vary by bank and profile — Tzion connects you with vetted mortgage brokers who specialize in non-resident files.
No. Through a Power of Attorney, your Israeli real estate attorney can sign on your behalf. Tzion coordinates virtual tours, video walkthroughs, inspections, and the entire transaction — many clients close without ever boarding a plane.
Purchase tax (Mas Rechisha) for foreign buyers and non-first-home buyers begins at 8% and rises to 10% on portions above a threshold. There is no annual property tax like in the US, but municipal Arnona applies. Tzion's network includes specialized tax advisors for both Israeli and home-country planning.
A developer's sales team is paid to sell their inventory at list price. A personal advocate sources from the entire market — including off-market deals — negotiates on your behalf, audits contracts, and stays with you through delivery. The result is typically a better property, a better price, and far less risk.
