An empty apartment still needs someone

Thousands of homes in Jerusalem belong to families who live overseas. When nobody is checking, small problems quietly become expensive ones.

We are your eyes, hands and keys in Israel, so none of that happens.

1

A leak nobody sees

A dripping pipe or a blocked roof drain can run for months and damage your home and the neighbours below.

2

Bills and notices that slip

Arnona, vaad bayit, water and electricity keep coming. Missed payments bring fines, and letters pile up unread.

3

Arriving to a home that is not ready

Dust, a dead boiler, an AC that will not start and an empty fridge, on the first night of your trip.

What we take care of

Everything your home needs, one local team

Choose a package, or build your own from any of these.

Regular inspections

Water, electricity, boiler, AC, windows and security, checked on every visit.

Bills & payments

Arnona, vaad bayit, water, electricity and gas, paid on time with receipts.

Repairs & maintenance

Vetted tradesmen, quotes sent to you first, work checked when it is done.

Cleaning & arrival prep

Deep clean, fresh linens, stocked fridge and AC on before you land.

Keys & access

We let in contractors, deliveries, guests and inspectors, and lock up after.

Mail & official letters

Collected, photographed and explained to you in English.

Renovation oversight

We follow the work, the schedule and the materials, and send you updates.

Rentals

Short-term or long-term, managed for you, with dates kept free for your visits.

Always in the picture

You see what we see

After every visit you get a short report on WhatsApp: what we checked, photos of the apartment, and anything that needs your decision. Nothing is fixed or paid above your limit without your OK.

  • A clear checklist, in English, after every visit
  • Photos of every room and of anything unusual
  • A monthly statement with every payment and receipt

How it works

Getting started is simple

  1. A short call

    Tell us about the apartment, how often you visit and what worries you.

  2. A walk-through

    We visit, photograph every room and note the condition, so we have a clear starting point.

  3. A written plan

    Visit schedule, spending limit, key arrangements and a monthly price, all in writing.

  4. Reports, every time

    A photo report after every visit, and you only hear from us when something needs you.

Our commitments

Trust, in writing

Handing over your keys is a big step. These are the rules we work by.

A written agreement

Services, visit schedule and price are agreed in writing before we start.

A receipt for every payment

Every shekel we spend on your home comes with a receipt and appears on your statement.

Your spending limit

You set the amount. Anything above it waits for your OK.

Your keys, kept safe

Keys are stored securely and never given to anyone without your approval.

Questions

Home management, answered

How much does it cost?

Plans are monthly and depend on the size and location of the apartment and the package you choose. Rental Management is a share of the rental income. After a short call and a walk-through we send you a written quote, with no obligation.

How often do you visit?

You choose. Common choices are every two weeks or once a month, and we add extra visits after storms, heat waves or anything unusual in the building.

What happens if something breaks?

We let you know right away with photos. Small fixes under your spending limit are handled straight away; anything above it waits for your OK, with a quote attached.

Can you pay arnona, vaad bayit and the utility bills?

Yes, with the Full Management package. Every payment appears on your monthly statement with the receipt.

Who holds the keys?

We keep a set in secure storage. They are only used for visits and for people you approve, such as tradesmen, cleaners or guests.

Can I keep using my own plumber or cleaner?

Of course. We are happy to work with people you already trust and coordinate with them for you.

Can you rent out the apartment while we are away?

Yes. With Rental Management we handle the listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and repairs, and block the dates you want for your own visits. You get a monthly income report you can pass to your accountant.

Which areas do you cover?

Jerusalem and the surrounding neighbourhoods. If your apartment is elsewhere in Israel, ask us and we will tell you honestly whether we can look after it well.

Can I change or pause my plan?

Yes. We keep it flexible: you can change your package or pause it when your plans change. The terms are set out clearly in your written agreement.
