External House Committee Management
What is the role of an external management company?
An external management company’s role is to replace the existing house committee in a building or to develop, in collaboration with the house committee or representatives on their behalf, procedures and regulations designed to reduce the burden and hassle of managing a shared building. Managing a building involves a lot of work that takes up time from the tenants and also requires efficient professionals with time and knowledge in the subject so that they can manage the building in the best way possible without harming the quality of life in the shared building.
In recent years, with the development and growth of the construction industry, managing house committee taxes in a shared residential building has become a burden and a lot of hassle, including dealing with tenants who refuse to pay or are late in paying, to dealing with municipal systems that require knowledge in the field.
What services do we offer as a management company?

So how do you start the engagement with us:
Step one – a non-binding meeting between a representative from the company and the representatives of the tenants.
At the meeting, we will conduct a full review of the condition of the building and its systems, the tenants’ representatives will present the current conduct of the building and present their expectations for future maintenance.
Step two – convening a tenants’ meeting
At this meeting, accompanied by a representative from the company, it will be decided whether the management of the building’s committee will be transferred to our company. According to the Real Estate Law and the existing bylaws for a condominium – the decision must be made by a two-thirds majority of the apartment owners. After the decision to transfer the building to an external management company is made, the company will issue a price quote (which includes the committee fees and management fees) that will be presented to the building’s members. Approval of the price quote will result in a contract with the company for continued management.
Our representatives will be happy to assist you by phone 24/7.
