The 7 Best Real Estate Agencies in Tel Aviv (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 7 picks

The best real estate agencies in Tel Aviv in 2026 include Anglo-Saxon, RE/MAX Israel and Ronkin Real Estate. Tel Aviv is a broker-led market: almost nothing good reaches the public listings before an agent has shown it to their own buyers, so the agency you pick largely decides which apartments you ever see. Below are seven worth talking to, and what each is strongest at.

1. Anglo-Saxon Real Estate — National network, branches across the city

Israel's veteran national brokerage, built from the start around English-speaking buyers.

Specialty Residential sales and rentals, olim and overseas buyersLanguages English · HebrewBest for Olim, overseas buyers, first-time buyers in Israel

Anglo-Saxon is one of the oldest and most recognisable real estate names in Israel, and it has been serving English-speaking buyers and sellers since the 1960s. It operates as a branch network rather than a single office, so in Tel Aviv you are dealing with a local team that carries a national brand behind it.

That structure is the point: the branch knows its own streets and buildings, while the wider network means an agent can reach stock and buyers outside their immediate patch. For anyone arriving from abroad and starting from zero, it is a low-friction first call — the process will be explained in English, and the firm is used to buyers who are not physically in the country for every viewing.

Good to know: Branches are semi-independent, so ask which specific streets and buildings your agent actually covers rather than relying on the brand alone.

2. RE/MAX Israel — Multiple Tel Aviv franchise offices

The largest agent network in the country — the widest reach, agent by agent.

Specialty Full-service residential sales and rentalsLanguages Hebrew · English · Russian · FrenchBest for Buyers and sellers at every price point

RE/MAX runs the biggest franchise network in Israeli real estate, with several offices covering Tel Aviv and its surrounding districts. Its searchable national listings site is one of the more usable ways to get a feel for asking prices before you speak to anybody.

Because RE/MAX is a franchise model, the experience varies by office and by individual agent rather than being uniform across the brand. The upside is scale: whatever you are looking for in Tel Aviv, somebody in the network is likely to be working it, and there are English-speaking agents across most offices.

Good to know: Pick the agent, not the office — look at how many listings they personally hold in your target neighbourhood before committing.

3. Ronkin Real Estate

An English-speaking Tel Aviv agency focused squarely on international buyers.

Specialty Sales, luxury apartments and rentals for international buyersLanguages English · Hebrew · RussianBest for Overseas buyers, investors, relocating professionals

Ronkin is a Tel Aviv agency that has built its business around English-speaking and international clients, covering apartments for sale, luxury property and rentals across the city.

It sits in the useful middle ground between a one-agent boutique and a national franchise: small enough that you deal with people who know the stock personally, established enough to have a real pipeline. If you are buying from abroad and want somebody who will send video walkthroughs and handle the back-and-forth in English, this is the kind of firm to shortlist.

Good to know: Be explicit about whether you want a home or a rental-yield asset — the shortlists for the two barely overlap in Tel Aviv.

4. ProperTLV — Tel Aviv-Yafo

Relocation-minded agency covering the upper end of the sale and rental market.

Specialty Luxury sales and long-term rentals, relocationLanguages English · Hebrew · FrenchBest for Expats, diplomats, relocating executives

ProperTLV is a Tel Aviv-Jaffa agency working the higher end of the market — penthouses, duplexes, houses and new projects — for an international clientele, across both sales and rentals.

Its strength is the relocation case: people arriving for a job, a posting or a move who need somewhere good quickly and are not in a position to learn the market first. The firm works in several languages and is set up for clients who need the whole process, not just a set of viewings.

Good to know: For a relocation rental, start two to three months out — good long-term stock in central Tel Aviv moves within days.

5. Montefiore Real Estate Group

Boutique luxury specialist working with olim and overseas buyers.

Specialty High-end residential salesLanguages English · Hebrew · French · RussianBest for Luxury buyers, olim, international clients

Montefiore is a boutique agency concentrating on high-end residential property, with a multilingual team and a client base of international buyers and olim.

Boutique here means a deliberately small book of properties and a lot of hand-holding, which is what the top of the market usually needs — those deals turn on discretion, off-market access and knowing which seller is genuinely motivated. If your budget is at the luxury end and you want one firm to run the whole search, it is a sensible shortlist entry.

Good to know: At this end of the market, ask what is available off-market before you look at anything advertised.

6. MyPlace

A long-established Tel Aviv agency with deep local stock across the city.

Specialty Sales, investment property and new projectsLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Local buyers, investors, new-build purchasers

MyPlace has been a fixture of the Tel Aviv market for decades, handling apartments for sale, investment property and new-build projects, with an English-language site alongside the Hebrew one.

It is the more local-facing option on this list, which is exactly why it is worth a call — an agency that has worked the same city for that long tends to carry stock and seller relationships that never surface on the international-facing sites. Expect a straightforwardly Israeli process rather than a concierge one.

Good to know: Ask specifically about pre-launch new-build projects — pricing on those is set before the marketing starts.

7. Israel Properties by Stamelman & Partners — Nationwide advisory

A buyer's advisory rather than a listings shop — useful if you want someone on your side only.

Specialty Buyer's agency, seller's advisory, property consultancyLanguages English · HebrewBest for Olim, overseas investors, buyers who want independent representation

Israel Properties describes itself as a boutique real estate advisory and buyer's agency, working nationwide with local and international buyers, sellers, investors and olim families, and it has been operating for over 25 years.

The distinction matters. Most Israeli agencies are paid by whoever's property closes, which quietly shapes what you get shown. A buyer-side advisory is engaged by you, which changes the incentives — worth considering if you are buying remotely, buying an investment, or simply want a second opinion on a deal an agent has already put in front of you.

Good to know: Clarify the fee structure up front — an advisory paid by you should not also be collecting a seller-side commission.

Frequently asked questions

How much commission do real estate agents charge in Tel Aviv?

The market norm is 2% of the purchase price plus VAT, paid by the buyer, and typically the same again from the seller. Commission is negotiable in practice, especially on higher-value properties, and it should be agreed in writing before you start viewing. Rental commission is usually one month's rent plus VAT.

Do I need an agent to buy an apartment in Tel Aviv?

Legally, no — but practically it is hard to buy well without one. A large share of Tel Aviv stock is traded quietly between agencies before it is advertised, and an agent who knows a specific building or street will flag issues (Tama 38 works, shared-house disputes, parking rights) that are invisible from a listing. You will separately need a real estate lawyer; that is not optional.

Can I buy property in Israel as a foreign resident?

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy residential property in Israel, though purchase tax is charged at a higher rate than for Israeli residents buying a sole home, and financing from Israeli banks is usually capped at a lower loan-to-value. New olim are entitled to a reduced purchase tax band on a first home, which is worth checking before you sign anything.

Which Tel Aviv neighbourhoods are best for buyers?

It depends on what you want. Neve Tzedek and Old North carry a premium for character and location; Florentin and Kiryat HaMelacha are the renovation and investment plays; Ir Yamim and the Park Tzameret towers suit buyers who want new-build and parking. Jaffa spans the whole range within a few streets, so it needs local knowledge more than most.

Should I use an English-speaking agency?

If Hebrew is not comfortable for you, yes — but treat language as a starting filter rather than the decision. What matters more is whether the agent genuinely works your target streets, and whether they will represent your interests or the seller's. Ask directly who is paying them in the deal.
