Trade-In — Direct Price from the Developer

The Trade-In service offers property owners the opportunity to exchange their old real estate for a brand-new home directly from the developer. This practice has existed in Israel since the 1970s and has proven to be a reliable and convenient solution for buyers.

ASR Service Israel Real Estate carries out Trade-In transactions in Israel’s largest cities, including Netanya, Herzliya, Holon, Hadera, Rishon LeZion, and Caesarea.

How the Trade-In Service Works

New apartments and houses are built according to modern construction standards and feature energy-efficient heating systems, advanced lighting, and improved sound insulation. Owners of older properties sign an agreement with the developer or their representative: the old apartment is put up for sale, and the proceeds are used to purchase the new home.

Trade-In Options

ISale of Secondary Property
The client selects a new home from the developer, which is reserved during the sale of the old property. Once the transaction is completed, the proceeds are credited toward the purchase of the new apartment or house.

Trade-In with Mortgage (Mashkanta)
This option is used when the client cannot sell their old property immediately. The proceeds from its eventual sale are applied toward repayment of the mortgage.

Advantages of Trade-In

  1. Sale of the old property at a fair market price.
  2. Time efficiency: purchase and sale are combined in a single process, with all viewings and negotiations handled by professional managers.
  3. Extended reservation period for the new home from the developer.
  4. Convenience and transparency: clients receive up-to-date information about construction progress and transaction terms directly from the sales office.

APARTMENTS AND ROOMS FOR RENT

Renting an apartment or a room in Israel requires careful consideration and a clear understanding of the rental contract. It is important to make sure that the offered price matches the market value and includes all mandatory expenses.

ASR Service Israel Real Estate helps both Israeli citizens and international clients rent properties safely in the country’s major cities, including Netanya, Herzliya, Holon, Hadera, Rishon LeZion, and Caesarea.

Factors That Influence Rental Prices

  • Location: city center or outskirts
  • Proximity to schools, parks, shopping centers, and hospitals
  • Floor level, presence of an elevator, or a “Shabbat elevator”
  • Apartment condition and quality of renovations

Key Points in Rental Agreements

Rental Term
Contracts are usually signed for one year, but it is essential to include the possibility of renewal in advance.

Utility Payments
The tenant pays Arnona (municipal tax), water, electricity, internet, and cable TV. Expenses for major repairs and building improvements are the responsibility of the property owner.

Financial Guarantees

  • Bank guarantee (equal to three months’ rent)
  • Promissory note
  • Third-party guarantors

These measures protect landlords from financial risks and safeguard tenants from unreasonable demands.

Safe Rental Transactions

Renting directly from a private individual can expose tenants to risks, including sharing sensitive personal information with strangers. Working with a professional company is a much safer and more reliable solution.

ASR Service Israel Real Estate ensures transparent agreements, full legal support, and fair pricing in the rental market. We provide comfort and security for our clients, making the rental process simple, reliable, and stress-free.

BUYING AND SELLING REAL ESTATE

Purchasing, selling, or renting an apartment, office, or any other property in Israel requires careful planning and professional support. It is vital to ensure contracts are valid, conditions are transparent, and every step is handled by qualified specialists.

ASR Service Israel Real Estate provides full legal assistance nationwide — in Netanya, Herzliya, Holon, Hadera, Rishon LeZion, Caesarea and beyond. We focus on details and always meet client expectations.

Transactions Without Realtors

In Israel, the role of realtors is limited because the process is strictly regulated by law. That is why more clients now prefer a “no-realtor” transaction, where their interests are represented by a lawyer. This guarantees legal clarity and full protection of rights.

Supported Transactions:

  • Purchase and sale of residential and commercial property
  • Rental agreements for apartments, houses, offices, and retail spaces
  • Acquisition of new and second-hand real estate
  • Participation in Pinui-Binui and Tama 38 projects

Advantages

  • Tenants receive contracts with clearly defined rights and obligations
  • Landlords are protected from property misuse and late payments
  • Commercial rentals include long-term stability and buyout rights
  • All legal and financial aspects are fully addressed

Legal Support

Our services include:

  • Drafting and execution of contracts for housing, land, and commercial property
  • Verification and supervision of all transaction stages
  • Registration of trust accounts (Heshbon Neemanut) and control of transfers
  • Protecting interests in the purchase of previously confiscated property
  • Proper registration of ownership transfers and approvals
  • Legal support in preparing documentation

Assistance in Tama 38 and Pinui-Binui

We help residents:

  • Obtain maximum tax benefits and avoid unnecessary Mas Shevach costs
  • Sign preliminary agreements (Ikronot LeBitzua)
  • Draft main contracts with developers
  • Defend tenant interests independently of developers

ASR Service Israel Real Estate ensures transparency, client protection, and reliability at every stage of your real estate transaction.

SALE OF APARTMENTS AND OFFICES

Buying an apartment or office in Israel is a multi-stage process that involves legal, financial, and tax aspects. The rules differ for citizens and foreign buyers, which makes it essential to have a reliable partner who will guide you through every step of the transaction.

ASR Service Real Estate helps clients purchase residential and commercial properties in Netanya, Herzliya, Holon, Hadera, Rishon LeZion, Caesarea, and other cities. We work closely with leading developers, lawyers, and interior designers to ensure that every purchase is both secure and a profitable investment. For us, the client’s wishes are inviolable.

Step-by-Step Process of Buying an Apartment or Office in Israel

1. Negotiations and Property Evaluation

We analyze market value, select comparable options, and guide you through negotiations. Bargaining is standard practice in Israel, and well-structured negotiations can significantly reduce costs.

2. Mortgage (Mashkanta)

  • Verification of credit history and financial capacity
  • Selection of the right bank and mortgage program
  • Obtaining preliminary approval (Ishur Ikroni)
  • Making the down payment (typically 25–40%)
  • Assistance during contract signing with the bank

We provide consulting to optimize mortgage conditions and reduce the total loan cost through careful program selection.

3. Taxes and Mandatory Payments

  • Mas Rechisha (property purchase tax) — depends on the property value and must be paid within 50 days
  • Arnona (municipal tax) — monthly payment for property usage
  • Vaad Bayit — expenses for building and common area maintenance

We calculate tax liabilities in advance and advise clients on how to avoid overpayments.

4. Additional Expenses

  • Developer’s fee (around 1.5% of the property price)
  • Notary and registration fees
  • Real estate lawyer services
  • Technical inspection of the property
  • Home and property rights insurance
