We’ll tell you when a new apartment is listed
Get an alertThree steps. We do two of them.
Your work: describe the apartment, keep the viewing times updated, and decide.
Tell us about the apartment
A short WhatsApp interview — details, costs, photos, tenant criteria and viewing times. You can stop halfway and pick it up whenever.
You · a short interviewWe publish and handle the enquiries
An ad shaped for each platform, a reply to every enquiry, screening against your criteria, and viewings booked into the slots you set.
UsYou choose the tenant
You get a side-by-side of the strongest candidates, you choose, and everyone else gets a polite answer.
You · always your call
What you get
An ad for every platform
Text shaped for each platform, with a link that identifies the apartment — ready to copy.
Candidate screening
Every enquirer is asked what matters and checked against the criteria you set.
Viewing scheduling
Candidates pick a time from the slots you set, and the booked viewing shows up for both sides.
One daily update
What happened today, who is waiting on you, and what needs a decision.
A full, transparent board
Every enquirer, every stage, every viewing — in the dashboard, at any moment.
Your apartment on our listings site too
Every apartment we manage is listed here as well, at no cost.
What does it cost
At this stage the service is free of charge, and three things are already true.
- Who pays
- If and when a fee is set, the owner pays — never the tenant. Israeli law forbids passing agency fees to the tenant — and that includes any payment to us.
- When you’re charged
- There is no billing in the service today. If and when a fee is set, it will be shown to you explicitly and your consent will be required first.
- You can stop
- There is no lock-in, and you can stop at any point. Anything already in motion — a published ad, a booked viewing — we close together.
You’ll get the exact terms in the first conversation, before you commit to anything. The full terms.
Full transparency, no surprises
Three rules we never break — not in a single message.
Gabbai says it is an automated agent
“An automated agent, not a person” — on first contact with every renter, with a link to the privacy notice.
The decisions are always yours
We never negotiate, never commit on your behalf, and never pick a tenant.
The numbers come from the system
Prices, dates and terms are stated by you and stored by us — Gabbai never invents them.
Nothing yet? We’ll tell you
Save a search — city, price, rooms — and get a message the moment a matching apartment is listed. Good rentals in Israel go within hours.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
At this stage the service is free of charge. If and when a fee is set, only the owner pays — never the tenant. The full detail is in “What does it cost” above.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Everything happens in the WhatsApp you already have, and the dashboard is an ordinary website.
The apartment is occupied. Is that a problem?
It’s a normal case for us: viewings are coordinated with the current tenant, and the move-in date is aligned to the move-out.
Who talks to renters — a person or an automated agent?
Gabbai, an automated agent — and it says so in its first message and links the privacy notice. When a decision is yours, the conversation comes to you.
Are you an agency? Is there a fee?
No, and no. We are not an agency, and we never charge tenants an agency fee. At this stage the service is free for the owner too. We are not a licensed real-estate agency and we hold no agency licence, and we represent neither you nor the other side. We do the work — the ad, the enquiries, the screening, the viewings; you make the decision. The full terms.
