Maxine Marks moves through the luxury real estate world like a professional, gentle Pink Panther – elegant, strategic and always securing the most elusive deals with effortless charm. Whether closing multimillion-dollar estates or orchestrating off-market transactions, she made every move with the precision of a master and the grace of a legend.

When it comes to luxury real estate in Israel, few names carry as much recognition and trust as Maxine Marks. Known affectionately as the “Pink Lady,” Maxine has built a family-run business that specializes in matching English-speaking clients with their dream properties in Netanya, particularly along the beautiful Israeli coastline. Since making aliyah from the UK in 1987, Maxine and her children have dedicated themselves to providing exceptional real estate services, particularly in the vibrant and sought-after city of Netanya.

Real estate is more than just a business for Maxine – it’s a way of life. Together with her husband Robert and their three grown children, Gabriella, Adam and Daniel, Maxine has created a company that goes beyond transactions; they make lifelong connections. Living and working in the areas they represent, the Marks family has an intimate knowledge of the local market, keeping a close eye on new developments, resale opportunities and investment prospects.

This deep-rooted involvement in the community allows them to offer a level of service that is unparalleled. Their clients, mostly English speakers, benefit from their firsthand experience and understanding of the unique needs of international buyers. Whether a client is making aliyah, purchasing a vacation home or investing in real estate, Maxine and her team ensure the journey is seamless and enjoyable.

Maxine’s philosophy is simple: Finding the right home is like making a shidduch. She and her team take great pride in carefully listening to their clients’ needs and preferences, ensuring they find a property that fits their lifestyle.

Netanya is a prime location for luxury real estate, offering a mix of breathtaking ocean views, modern developments and thriving Anglo communities. From the prestigious Ir Yamim neighborhood, where residents can walk everywhere without encountering cars, to the trendy Piano district, known for its many kosher restaurants and vibrant atmosphere, Netanya has something for everyone.

For those looking for proximity to major cities, Netanya is perfectly situated – just a 17-minute train ride to Tel Aviv and a little over an hour by train to Jerusalem. With its pristine beaches, luxury hotels, abundant synagogues, and a warm, welcoming community, it’s no surprise that Netanya is a top choice for English-speaking buyers.

Maxine’s signature color isn’t just a fashion statement – it’s a brand identity. From her pink car to the team’s pink attire, the Pink Lady’s distinctive look has become synonymous with trust, professionalism and personal touch. Clients and friends from around the world send her pink gifts, a testament to the lasting impact she makes on those she works with.

But beyond the color, what truly sets Maxine apart is her commitment to client satisfaction. She ensures that buying property isn’t just a process – it’s an enjoyable experience. From arranging property tours to assisting with legal and financial matters, and even helping clients set up utilities in their new homes, Maxine and her team handle every detail.

“Maxine and her family are an amazing team to work with. I drove them crazy at times with all my requests and thoughts,” said Ilana Goldman, “but Maxine and Gabriella were so calm and patient through all of it, they were the ones who kept me calm. Even when it looked like things were not working out, they were there through all the pitfalls.”

Buying a luxury property in Israel involves more than just selecting the right home. That’s why Maxine and her team work closely with top-tier designers, lawyers and mortgage banks to provide a full-service experience. Whether purchasing a newly built home on paper with a move-in timeline of three to four years or opting for an immediate resale property, clients can be confident that they are in expert hands.

Buyers Lynne and Stephen Shaffer gratefully recounted: “We would like to express our appreciation for Maxine’s wonderful service. Nothing is too much trouble and we really appreciated the bonus extras, such as doing the utility changeovers, recommending movers etc. Her son Adam was also extremely helpful and would always arrange viewings whenever we asked.”

For those considering investment properties, Maxine offers opportunities that provide excellent long-term value. With property prices ranging from $1 million to $8 million, buyers can choose from a variety of high-end residences tailored to their needs.

Maxine’s passion for real estate extends beyond Israel’s borders. Several times a year, she and her team travel to the United States to host exclusive property events in synagogues and private homes. These events, featuring expert speakers on aliyah, legal considerations and neighborhood insights, provide prospective buyers with a comprehensive understanding of the Israeli property market before they even step on a plane.

More than just a real estate business, Maxine and her family embody the Zionist dream. They live and breathe Israel, and their passion for the land is evident in everything they do. Helping others establish their own roots in Israel is not just a job for them; it’s a calling.

“We wake up every morning to the sight of the sea, and there’s nothing better than that,” Maxine said with a smile. She and her team encourage clients to take their time, visit for a few days, and truly get a feel for the different neighborhoods before making a decision.

For those looking to find their dream home in Israel, there is no better guide than Maxine Marks and her dedicated team. With a deep understanding of the English-speaking market, an extensive network of industry professionals, and a genuine love for what they do, Maxine and her family are the ultimate partners in luxury real estate.

Whether you’re buying, selling or investing, let the Pink Lady make your journey seamless, exciting, and, above all, successful.
