Yes, we absolutely serve buyers from abroad, and targeting the French Jewish market is not just a valid strategy – it’s a highly astute one, especially for certain types of properties. The connection between the French Jewish community and Israel is deep and multi-faceted, and this is reflected in their real estate investment patterns.
For decades, French Jews have been a significant force in the Israeli property market. They are drawn to Israel for a variety of reasons, including Zionism, a desire for a safe haven in a world of rising antisemitism, and a love for the Israeli lifestyle.
When it comes to real estate, French buyers often have a very specific set of preferences. They are drawn to cities with a strong French-speaking community, such as Netanya, Ashdod, and certain neighborhoods of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. They appreciate modern design, high-end finishes, and proximity to the sea.
If your property aligns with these preferences – for example, a modern apartment with a sea view in Netanya – then a targeted marketing campaign to the French market could be extremely effective. This would involve advertising in French-language publications, working with real estate agents who specialize in the French market, and creating marketing materials that are culturally attuned to a French audience.
However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you are selling a family home in a predominantly English-speaking suburb, for example, a different marketing strategy would be more appropriate. The key is to understand the unique appeal of your property and to identify the target market that is most likely to appreciate its value.
