New free service for Telfed members (& friends)!
Group-purchase: Save money & minimize hassle when buying your new home in Israel.
We can also help you find the right community - by buying with like-minded others to form a "community-in-a-building".
The first step is to take the matching-survey below, on this page. You can do that right now, or read this explanatory information first:
* We'll match you to other Olim having similar housing needs, whom you'll meet in a forum on our site. (The matching is based on your responses to the survey.)
* Mentors from Telfed and other major olim organizations have been invited to participate in these forums in order to assist your discussion-group investigate relevant possibilities, make good decisions, and arrive at consensus.
* If the discussion-group gets serious, we'll put it in touch with real estate agents & attorneys, architects & contractors who have committed to providing a group-rate (the discussions are with no committment, and here too mentors can help the group make wise choices ).
* We do not sell anything and we NEVER ask you for any payment - our fee is paid not by you but by the commercial providers your group chooses. And we're here for YOU: no commitment or pressure to buy anything.
* We do NOT ask you for personal information or phone #; we do NOT take your credit card information. We're just an internet-based 'platform', catalyzing the formation of a focused discussion group for you, and then at the request of your group matching it to the relevant commercial providers.

Creating community
If you wish, we can match you to others like yourself to form "a community-in-a-building", having as neighbors people who are similar to you, not just with similar housing-needs. (As you'll see, the "optional section" of the survey is meant to help you specify the appropriate similarity.) And of course you also get a group-discount.
