Choosing the Right Real Estate Lawyer
When purchasing property in Israel, having the right legal representation is crucial. Yitzhak Steinberg, head of Steinberg & Co. in Jerusalem, specializes in helping foreign residents navigate the complexities of real estate transactions in Israel.
Steinberg emphasized that foreign buyers should be mindful of currency fluctuations, which can significantly impact the final cost of a property. While most transactions are in Israeli shekels (NIS), buyers may attempt to negotiate in their own currency to mitigate risks. “Even small fluctuations in exchange rates can lead to large financial consequences,” said Steinberg, advising clients to plan accordingly.
