home (hom) noun: the place where you live. That’s the dictionary definition. Homeland, homeland of a people or people. For Jews, Israel is one and the same. For Jiří Leizerowitz, it’s a calling.
Born in Israel to a father who was a Holocaust survivor and an Israeli underground fighter, Leizerowitz spent most of his life in the New York City area after many ups and downs before returning to Israel in 2021. He spent several years in America working as a mortgage loaner. A broker and manager, Leizerowitz has a natural love for real estate.
Upon arriving in Israel, he couldn’t help but notice the enormous amount of construction going on, with dozens of building sites, cranes, and workers coming and going. (Insert Israeli joke here: What is Israel’s national bird? It’s a crane!) Leizerowitz felt a strong desire to be a part of this growing industry and soon obtained his real estate agent’s license. and became a member of the Professional Association of Real Estate Agents in Israel.
“My passion is to provide suitable housing or investment property to English speakers anywhere in the country,” Leizerowitz explained. “I’ll work with you within your budget. And I know everything that will help you get the best value for your money.” Real estate prices in Israel are one of the most common areas that at least most English speakers pay attention to. In this field, it is usually the highest price. But he has 12 other lesser-known places where Brits can live and stay at very affordable prices. It’s not unusual for apartments in Jerusalem or Netanya to cost him more than $1 million, but Leizerowitz knows where to look to find apartments that offer big savings. For example, you can save up to 50% by purchasing on paper after land is allocated but before construction begins.
This is exactly what “niche marketing” is all about. Affordable or not, we find homes and investment properties of all sizes to fit your budget. The Israeli real estate market is in a continuous growth pattern and offers solid investments.
Leizerowitz is a very active and practical agent who never rests (except on the Sabbath!). Because he wants to be your personal real estate agent/advisor. They will hold your hand from the first day until after you move in. Leizerowitz is also a property management company and helps with all the bureaucracy (and there’s a lot of bureaucracy, and yes, it’s all in Hebrew!). Whether the property is Ashkelon in the south or Nahariya in the north, Leizerowitz is there.
“His attention to detail and personal touch made the process stress-free,” said one of his clients. “We really appreciated his ‘no pressure’ style.” There are many testimonials on the website that reflect Leizerowitz’s desire to please and his complete honesty. The website has videos of available properties, and Leizerowitz feels he needs to learn about the local real estate market before actually jumping in. Agents in Israel usually represent the buyer and work hard to satisfy their customers, unlike in the US where agents exist. They often act as the seller’s agent. In Israel, you don’t pay a fee to the seller’s agent, you only pay the agent. Also, fees are much cheaper than in the US. Typically, his fees are set at 2%, and Leizerowitz is happy to negotiate a fair price for all users.
One of Leizerowitz’s favorite regions is Rehovot, in the heart of the country, where he and his wife chose to settle. “Come here on the Sabbath and we urge anyone who doesn’t want to move here!” And even Tel Aviv continues to grow as an English-speaking religious center, with at least one near Gordon Beach He has five proper synagogues, all crowded.
Recent events in Israel and around the world demonstrate how important this country is and how welcoming it is to all Jews. Leizerowitz makes it easy to help even those who “just came to see” without making any commitments. Izzy will go the extra mile for you!
