What makes Platinum Realty Group different from a typical real estate agency?
Unlike traditional agencies that focus on resale listings, we specialize exclusively in new developments and work directly with developers. This gives our clients access to early-stage pricing, off-market opportunities, and apartments that are not publicly available.
More importantly, we don’t just “broker deals.” We guide our clients through the entire process — from identifying the right opportunity to navigating contracts, customization, and post-purchase support. Our role is to act as your local partner on the ground in Israel, ensuring you make the right decision and see it through with confidence.
Which neighborhoods in Jerusalem do you currently work in?
We represent developments throughout the Jerusalem area, in many of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. From Katamon to Ramat Eshkol and Arnona, we are constantly expanding our portfolio and securing access to the newest and most exciting projects on the market.
Do I need to be in Israel to purchase an apartment?
Not at all. Many of our clients purchase their homes while living abroad. At Platinum Realty Group, we’ve built a process specifically designed for international buyers.
We manage everything on your behalf, from initial property selection and due diligence to contract signing and beyond. After the purchase, our customer care team can assist with ongoing needs such as property upkeep, handling tenants, and general management — giving you complete peace of mind, even from overseas.
When is the best time to buy into a new development?
You can reserve an apartment at almost any stage of the project, but the earlier the better. In most developments, prices tend to increase as construction progresses. The best way to access early opportunities is by joining our email newsletter, where we share pre-sale and off-market opportunities with our exclusive client database before projects are officially released.
What is the typical payment schedule for a new apartment?
Payment schedules vary from project to project, so there is no single structure that applies to every development. That said, we take our clients’ finances very seriously and work closely with developers to help secure the most comfortable and manageable payment plan possible.
Do you assist international buyers with the purchasing process?
Yes. We regularly work with buyers from around the world and guide them through every step of the process. Our team assists with everything from mortgages and currency exchange considerations to legal coordination and construction customizations, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
What types of apartments are available in your developments?
This depends on the specific project. Some developments offer smaller one-bedroom apartments that are ideal for investment or short-term rental opportunities. Others feature spacious four, five, or even six-bedroom garden apartments and penthouses with spectacular views of Jerusalem. Amenities also vary by development and may include features such as gyms, gymborees, swimming pools, and synagogues. Our agents can help match you with the project that best fits your needs.
How can I get more information or schedule a meeting?
You can reach us by phone, email, or by visiting our office when you are in the area. Our team will be happy to discuss current opportunities and help you find the right property.
