The 6 Best Mortgage Advisors in Tel Aviv (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 6 picks

The best mortgage advisors in Tel Aviv in 2026 include First Israel Mortgages, Anglo Mortgages and Mortgage Israel. An Israeli mortgage is not one loan but a mix of tracks — prime, fixed, index-linked — and the bank will not design that mix in your favour. A broker who negotiates several banks against each other is where the saving is. Below are six worth talking to.

1. First Israel Mortgages

One of the country's largest and longest-running mortgage brokerages.

Specialty Full-service mortgage brokerage across Israeli banksLanguages English · HebrewBest for Olim, Israeli residents, foreign buyers

First Israel is among the best-established mortgage brokerages in the country, with an English-language practice and long experience across the Israeli banking system.

Scale matters in this business more than it might appear: a broker placing high volume has standing with the banks' mortgage desks, and that shows up in the rates a client is offered. It is a reasonable default first call for most buyers, olim or not.

Good to know: Ask for the offers from each bank in writing side by side, not just the recommendation.

2. Anglo Mortgages

Works exclusively with English speakers and new olim.

Specialty Mortgages for new olim and English-speaking buyersLanguages EnglishBest for New olim, Anglo buyers, first-time buyers in Israel

Anglo Mortgages is a brokerage built specifically for new olim and English speakers buying property in Israel, run by a broker with well over a decade in the market working only with English-speaking clients.

The specialisation is genuinely useful here. Olim files carry their own complications — foreign income, no Israeli credit history, benefit entitlements that affect the purchase — and a broker who sees only that kind of file handles them faster than a generalist.

Good to know: If your income is earned abroad, raise it at the first call — it determines which banks are even worth approaching.

3. Mortgage Israel

An English-speaking team serving buyers across the country.

Mortgage Israel is an English-language brokerage whose team includes people who have made aliyah themselves and worked through the process from the borrower's side.

That perspective tends to show in how the process is explained — the practical sequencing of approval, appraisal and closing rather than only the numbers. A sensible option for buyers who want the whole thing narrated in English from start to finish.

Good to know: Ask them to walk you through the appraisal stage specifically — it is where timetables most often slip.

4. Malchi Mortgages

A decade of serving the Anglo olim market, founder-led.

Malchi Mortgages, led by Odiel Malchi, has served the American and English-speaking mortgage market in Israel for close to a decade, and the founder made aliyah himself as a teenager.

It is a founder-led shop rather than a large office, which usually means direct access to the person who actually negotiates with the banks. For borrowers who want a single point of contact throughout, that is worth something.

Good to know: Founder-led firms are capacity-limited — check availability against your closing date.

5. Olim Advisors

Mortgage advice bundled with the rest of the aliyah and home-buying process.

Specialty Aliyah advisory with mortgage, real estate and legal servicesLanguages English · HebrewBest for New olim buying their first home in Israel

Olim Advisors has been running since 2016 as an aliyah and real estate advisory, with a team that covers the mortgage broking alongside a realtor, a real estate lawyer and a designer or project manager.

The appeal is coordination rather than any single service: for someone arriving, buying and renovating in the same year, having those pieces under one roof removes a lot of handoffs. Check pricing per service so you can compare each part against a specialist.

Good to know: Ask for the fees broken out by service — bundled offerings are easy to overpay for.

6. No Fryers (Yehoshua Oz)

An independent broker who also works as a certified financial coach.

Specialty Independent mortgage broking and financial coachingLanguages English · HebrewBest for Olim, Israeli residents, foreign buyers, first-time borrowers

Yehoshua Oz operates as an independent mortgage broker and certified financial coach, working with Israeli residents, olim chadashim and foreign buyers.

The financial-coaching angle is the distinguishing feature: the advice extends past securing the loan into how the mortgage sits within a household budget, which is a conversation most brokers skip. Useful for buyers stretching to the limit of what they can borrow.

Good to know: Worth a call if the question is not only 'can I get this mortgage' but 'should I'.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow for a property in Israel?

Israeli lending is capped by loan-to-value rules set by the Bank of Israel, and the cap depends on your situation: buyers of a sole home can borrow the largest share, buyers of an additional property considerably less, and foreign residents less again. Repayment is also limited by a debt-service ratio against income. A broker will model this before you commit to an offer.

What is a mashkanta mix?

An Israeli mortgage is typically split across several tracks — a prime-linked track, a fixed unlinked track, and often a CPI-linked track — each with different rates and different risks. Regulation constrains the proportions. Getting the mix wrong is the single most expensive mistake Israeli borrowers make, and it is the main thing an adviser is paid to get right.

Can a foreign resident get an Israeli mortgage?

Yes, though at a lower loan-to-value than an Israeli resident and usually with more documentation, including proof of income from abroad. Several brokers on this list specialise in exactly this case. Expect the process to take longer than a domestic application.

What does a mortgage broker cost in Israel?

Brokers typically charge a fee based on the loan size, often quoted as a percentage with a minimum, paid by the borrower. That is a real cost, so ask what it is up front — the case for paying it rests on whether the improvement in rate and structure exceeds the fee, which on a large multi-track mortgage it frequently does.

Should I get pre-approval before making an offer?

Yes. An approval in principle tells you what you can actually borrow rather than what you hope to, and it strengthens your position with a seller. It is also the point at which structural problems — income documentation, existing debt, residency status — surface while you can still fix them.
