Buying in Jerusalem from Abroad: The Complete Guide for Overseas Buyers

Buying a home in Jerusalem is a dream for many Jews around the world. Whether it is a holiday home for the chagim, an investment property, or preparation for a future aliyah — Jerusalem is calling you. But purchasing real estate in a foreign country, in a different language and under a different legal system, can be a complex undertaking.

As an agency that serves a large share of the Anglo overseas buyers purchasing homes in the heart of Jerusalem (Romema, Geula, Sha'arei Chesed and more), at Barskey Properties we have developed an American-standard service framework — a VIP Turnkey Service — which means one thing: you are in the safest possible hands.

How do you do it right without being physically present in Israel?

• Your eyes and ears on the ground: We carry out rigorous screening for you, conduct detailed virtual tours, and analyse the property not only by its square metres, but at the level of the community, the surrounding shuls, and the character of the neighbours. We understand the nuances that matter to you.
• A first-class network of experts: A good agent is your project manager. We connect you directly to Israel's top tier of professionals: lawyers who specialise in taxation for overseas residents, mortgage advisors experienced with foreign income, interior designers, architects and property managers.
• Total transparency: We believe in honest, candid advice — no spin. If a particular property is wrong for investment or will not meet your expectations, we will be the first to tell you. Your trust is the most precious asset we hold.

When you land in Israel, all that will be left for you to do is step into the precise home we built for you, in the heart of Jerusalem.
