All 50
US states where Own Luxury Homes® has verified Israeli buyer specialists — South Florida is primary
Tax and legal rules in both the US and your home country change. Consult a US tax attorney with cross-border expertise before any transaction.
The best agent for an Israeli buyer operates in the Israeli community itself. They know the buildings in Aventura where most owners are Israeli. They know the Hebrew-speaking lender contacts. They know to ask about US citizenship before advising on ownership structure. And when the Israeli seller calls, they file the 8288-B the same day — not after the offer comes in.

Israeli Buyer Specialist Competencies
(1) South Florida community knowledge: active in the Boca Raton, Hollywood, and Aventura Israeli buyer networks. Knows the buildings with Israeli management, Israeli HOA representation, and buildings where Israeli buyers concentrate. (2) Dual citizenship question: asks “Do you have US citizenship?” as the first qualification question. The answer determines FIRPTA exposure and the ownership structure advice. (3) Hebrew language (preferred): Hebrew language capability or a Hebrew-speaking transaction coordinator reduces friction across time zones and language comfort levels. (4) Form 8288-B at listing: for non-dual-citizen sellers: files the certificate at listing, not at contract. Has done this before and knows the IRS processing timeline.
Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
"The Israeli buyer who contacts me gets matched to the South Florida specialist who is actually in that community. Not the highest-volume Boca luxury agent. The one who has sold to Israeli buyers, who speaks Hebrew or has someone who does, and who asked the citizenship question every time."
