01Why a local manager

Knowing the neighborhood is part of managing well.

We know the market here

Who rents in these neighborhoods, what they look for, and what a realistic rent looks like for your apartment’s size and condition.

We know the buildings

Older stone blocks, building committees, and the TAMA 38 and Pinui Binui projects changing the area — we help owners navigate them.

We respond first

Many problems we solve ourselves. When we can’t, our regular, trusted tradespeople do good work at fair prices.

Close to your property

Viewings and repairs are simpler to arrange when we are around the corner.

02Our home ground

The neighborhoods we know best

Most of what we manage here is long-term rental apartments in residential buildings — from smaller units to family apartments, furnished and unfurnished.

03What we handle

Complete management for your apartment, from one local team.

How our property management works
  1. Property and rental assessment

    Condition, positioning, and what the property needs before it goes to market.

  2. Property preparation

    Cleaning, repairs and presentation work — coordinated and approved with you.

  3. Marketing and tenant placement

    We present the property to suitable long-term tenants and run the viewings.

  4. Tenant screening

    Applicants are checked before any lease is offered.

  5. Lease coordination

    Lease terms, guarantees and handover documented properly.

  6. Rent collection

    Payments are tracked and followed up, so you always know what has been paid.

  7. Tenant communication

    Tenants contact us, not you.

  8. Maintenance and repairs

    We respond first and often fix it ourselves; otherwise our trusted tradespeople.

  9. Arnona, utilities and bills

    We make sure tenants keep arnona, utilities and building fees paid.

  10. Owner updates and reporting

    Regular, clear reporting on the property and its finances.

  11. Turnover management

    Condition record, deposit settlement, refresh and re-letting.

An apartment managed for owners in New York

Owner situation
A family living in New York owns the apartment and had no local contacts in Jerusalem.
Challenge
The apartment had stood empty for several months and needed work before it could be rented. The owners wanted it rented and looked after without flying in for every decision, and they were uneasy about handing the keys to someone they had never met.
Work handled
Visited and photographed the apartment and sent the owners a written assessment · Coordinated repainting, a water heater replacement and a deep clean · Marketed the apartment, ran the viewings and screened applicants
Result
The apartment was let to long-term tenants and has remained under our management. The owners follow it from New York through regular reports, and repairs are handled locally without them needing to travel.

Five apartments, one point of contact

Owner situation
A Jerusalem-based owner of five apartments who wanted to keep the properties but stop managing them personally.
Challenge
Five leases with different renewal dates, three different handymen and no consistent records. Tenant calls and repairs were taking up much of the owner's time, and it was hard to see how each apartment was really doing.
Work handled
Visited each apartment at handover and documented its condition · Gathered leases, tenant details and maintenance history into one set of records · Took over maintenance as first responders, bringing in our regular tradespeople only when a job needs a professional
Result
The owner now deals with one point of contact and one consolidated report instead of five sets of tenants and tradespeople. Turnovers are planned rather than improvised, and two of the apartments have since been refreshed between tenancies.

Preparing a vacant apartment and finding the right tenant

Owner situation
The owner, based in Tel Aviv, had already tried to rent the apartment independently.
Challenge
The previous tenant had left the apartment scuffed, with a broken kitchen cabinet and mold in the bathroom. It had been listed twice without success and had been standing empty for several months.
Work handled
Assessed the apartment and identified what was putting applicants off · Coordinated repainting, kitchen cabinet and countertop repairs, and mold treatment with re-grouting · Arranged professional photography and relisted the apartment
Result
Once the visible problems were dealt with and the apartment was presented properly, it attracted suitable applicants and was let to long-term tenants. It remains under our management.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Do you find and screen long-term tenants?

Yes. We market the property, handle enquiries and viewings, and screen applicants, typically by verifying identity, checking employment and income, and taking references from previous landlords where available. We then present our recommended applicant and the reasons for the recommendation, and the final decision is yours. We coordinate the lease with you and record the property’s condition in writing and with photographs at move-in. Lease terms and any guarantees should be reviewed by your own lawyer.

Do you manage properties for owners living abroad?

Yes. Many of the owners we work with live abroad or outside Jerusalem. We act as your local point of contact: we deal with tenants and tradespeople, go to the property whenever something needs attention, make sure the tenants keep up with arnona and utility bills, and keep you informed in writing, with photographs of any repair work, so decisions can be made without you having to travel. Approvals and updates are arranged to work across time zones. Read more about how we work with overseas owners.

Which Jerusalem neighborhoods do you cover?

We manage properties across Jerusalem. Our home base is Ramat Eshkol, and many of the properties we manage are there and in the neighborhoods around it — French Hill, Ma’alot Dafna and Givat HaMivtar — where we know the buildings, the tenants and the local tradespeople especially well.

Wherever your property is in the city, tell us about it and we will talk through how we would manage it. See also property management in Ramat Eshkol.

How are property management fees determined?

Fees are set out in a written proposal after we have assessed the property. They depend on the type and size of the property, whether it is furnished, its condition and which services you need. Renovation and upgrade work is quoted separately for each project. The simplest first step is to request a property assessment, which does not commit you to anything.

Can you help if my building is going through TAMA 38 or Pinui Binui?

Yes. We have experience helping owners navigate TAMA 38 and Pinui Binui projects in buildings where they own a rental. We follow the project, attend building meetings on your behalf where you wish, keep your tenant informed and coordinate the timing of the lease with the project schedule. We work alongside your lawyer, who advises you on the developer agreement, since we do not give legal advice. Our guide to owning a rental apartment through TAMA 38 or Pinui Binui explains what to expect.
