A few years ago,
I was in the exact same place you are now.
Sixteen years ago, I made aliyah, and I still remember the initial shock. I didn’t understand anything about the Israeli financial system. It was so different from what I knew back home—the banks, the services, and worst of all, no one spoke my language. The service I received was terrible, and I felt completely lost. This feeling allowed others to take advantage of my situation, just like what happens to so many Olim.
As a senior manager in high-tech, I thought I had a solid grip on my financial situation. I paid my mortgage each month and thought I was doing the right thing—until one day I opened my bank statement and saw something shocking.
After six years of monthly payments, I realized that my mortgage principal had barely decreased. Yes, I had been paying every month, but the high interest rates meant I was paying far more than I thought. Instead of moving forward, I felt stuck—it was awful!
That moment was a wake-up call for me. I knew I had to take control of my situation. I started learning everything I could about mortgages, read everything possible, took courses, and came back to my bank armed with new knowledge.
After tough negotiations, I managed to save 250,000 shekels in interest, cut eight years off my mortgage term, and reduce my monthly payments by 500 shekels.
That was the turning point when I realized just how important it is for new and veteran Olim to truly understand the mortgage process.
Why did I leave high-tech and
switch to mortgage consulting?
Why did I leave high-tech and switch to mortgage consulting?
In that moment, I made it my mission. If I, with all my experience, almost fell into the trap of Israel’s banking system, how many other Olim are being taken advantage of?
That’s why today, I help English-speaking Olim get their first mortgage in Israel and make sure they don’t face the same challenges I did.
I’m here for you, in the same place I once was—confused, lost, and looking for someone who could explain things in my language. This is my mission: to ensure you don’t make the mistakes I almost made. I’ll speak to you in clear, simple English and make sure you get the best possible mortgage terms.
