The Process

The 8-Step Purchase Process

Straightforward from start to finish. Here is exactly what to expect at each stage.

Initial Conversation

Day 1–3

You contact DDG. We schedule a 30-minute call to understand your goals, budget, and timeline. No pressure, no obligation.

Same day to 72 hours response time. Available via Calendly or WhatsApp — whichever works for you.

Book a Call

Project Match & Materials

Day 3–7

Based on your conversation, we send a curated package: project brochure, floor plans, payment schedule, pro forma, and NDA.

Within 48 hours of first call. All projects have been through Razore Engineering's full due diligence process before reaching you.

Site Visit or Virtual Tour

Week 1–3

Qualified buyers receive a complimentary invitation to visit Israel and tour projects in person. Full virtual tours also available if you prefer.

Timeline is flexible — coordinated around your schedule. Alternatively, DDG travels to you anywhere in the world.

Unit Selection & Reservation

Week 2–4

You select your unit. A reservation agreement locks the unit and price for a defined period while legal documentation is prepared.

Typically 1–3 days to reserve. Your chosen unit is removed from availability while your attorney prepares the purchase documents.

Legal Review & Contract

Week 3–6

An Israeli real estate attorney reviews the purchase agreement on your behalf. DDG coordinates the attorney introduction. Contract is signed — remotely via Power of Attorney if you're not in Israel.

Documents required at this stage: Passport · Proof of funds · Power of Attorney (if remote)

Timeline: 2–4 weeks for full legal review and execution.

First Payment (20%) + Bank Guarantee

Week 4–8

Your initial payment — 20% of the purchase price — is transferred. The developer immediately provides a full bank guarantee covering this and all subsequent payments.

This bank guarantee is required by the Israeli Bank Guarantee Law (1974). Your money is protected from day one. If the developer fails to complete, the bank returns every shekel in full — automatically, with no legal action required by you.

Construction Monitoring

Years 1–3

Razore Engineering — DDG's in-house engineering team — monitors construction progress on your behalf throughout the build cycle. Regular updates delivered to you digitally.

No need to be in Israel. If something is off-schedule or off-spec, you will know before the developer tells you. This is the difference between passive purchase and active oversight.

Key Handover & Final Payment (10%)

Year 2–3

Construction completes. Your final 10% payment is made. Before you accept the unit, Razore Engineering conducts a full technical inspection to verify that everything meets the agreed specification.

Timeline: per each project's confirmed delivery date. You receive a snagging report and any defects are logged with the developer before you take the keys.

What You Need

Documents Required

Foreign buyers need fewer documents than most expect. Here is the complete list.

Valid Passport
Any nationality. A clear copy of the photo page is required for the purchase contract and attorney identification.
Proof of Funds
Recent bank statement or equivalent documentation demonstrating the ability to complete the purchase. Not a credit check — simply a funds confirmation.
Power of Attorney
Required if signing remotely. Your Israeli attorney prepares the POA, which is notarised in your home country, apostilled, and sent to Israel for use at signing.
Israeli Bank Account
Not mandatory — payments can be made via international wire. DDG assists with account opening if preferred.
Optional
Tax Identification Number
Your home country tax ID (e.g., SSN, NIN, TFN). Required for tax treaty assessment and Israeli purchase tax calculation. Consult a licensed tax advisor for specifics.
For tax purposes
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Every question international buyers ask before moving forward — answered directly.

Yes. The full purchase process can be completed remotely via Power of Attorney. Your attorney in Israel signs the contract on your behalf. DDG also offers a complimentary site visit for qualified buyers after the initial conversation — or we fly to meet you anywhere in the world.
Not mandatory. Payments can be made via international wire transfer directly to the developer's designated account. If you prefer to open an Israeli bank account — for rental income collection or other purposes — DDG assists with introductions to local banks experienced with foreign clients.
All DDG documentation and communication is in English. Legal documents are drafted in Hebrew (as required by Israeli law) with full English translations provided by your attorney. Every interaction with DDG — from first call through handover — is conducted in English.
Under the Israeli Bank Guarantee Law (1974), developers of new residential construction must provide a full bank guarantee covering 100% of buyer payments. This means a major Israeli bank formally backs every payment you make. If the developer encounters financial difficulty before handover, the bank returns every payment in full — automatically, without legal action on your part. This is a statutory right, not a contractual one. It cannot be waived.
Purchase tax (mas rechisha): 8% on the portion up to approximately ₪6 million; 10% on the amount above that threshold. Annual municipal property tax (arnona) applies from the date of delivery. DDG strongly recommends consulting a licensed Israeli tax advisor for your specific situation — we provide referrals. This information is general in nature and does not constitute tax advice.
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign owners renting their Israeli property. Tel Aviv consistently ranks among the highest-demand rental markets in the Middle East. DDG can assist with connections to reputable property management companies in Tel Aviv and Herzliya after delivery.
From first call to signed contract: typically 3–6 weeks, depending on legal review pace and your attorney's availability. Construction and delivery timeline varies by project — typically 2–3 years for pre-sale purchases. DDG provides project-specific delivery schedules in the initial materials package.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorises a named Israeli attorney to sign the purchase contract on your behalf. The process: your attorney drafts the POA → you sign it before a notary in your home country → it is apostilled (authenticated for international use) → it is sent to your Israeli attorney for use at contract signing. This enables a fully remote, legally binding purchase without you being present in Israel.
None. Israel has no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing real estate. Buyers of any nationality may purchase residential property in Israel under the same legal framework as Israeli citizens. There are no quotas, no approval requirements, no minimum residency conditions.
Your relationship with DDG does not end at handover. We can assist with connections to rental management services, furnishing logistics, and ongoing property oversight through Razore Engineering. The same team that monitored construction is available to you throughout ownership.
Why DDG

What Makes DDG Different

Three things that separate DDG from every other channel in the Israeli market.

One Engineering Team

Razore Engineering oversees every technical aspect in-house — from initial due diligence through delivery inspection. No subcontractors, no third-party oversight gaps. One accountable team from design to handover. If something is wrong, you hear about it from us first.

Remote-First

Every step of the purchase process can be completed from your home country. Contract signing via Power of Attorney, payments via international wire transfer, construction progress updates delivered digitally. The transaction never requires you to be in Israel unless you want to be.

We Come to You

After a qualifying conversation, DDG travels to meet serious buyers anywhere in the world — or brings you to Israel on us. We believe the relationships that matter are worth the flight. If a 30-minute call confirms this is the right move, geography is not an obstacle.
