Idan Ben Shimon — Founder

Agada was founded on a simple premise: international and domestic investors deserve better access to Israeli commercial real estate than what traditional brokers provide. Most Israeli brokers operate on personal networks built over decades — great for insiders, frustrating for everyone else.

Idan Ben Shimon brings deep expertise in Israeli logistics, warehousing, and industrial real estate — the asset classes experiencing the strongest demand growth. His understanding of Israeli commercial property markets spans from the central industrial zones of the Dan region to logistics corridors in Ashdod and the northern industrial parks.

In 2024, Agada launched what we believe is Israel's first AI-powered commercial real estate intelligence system. The system scans 500+ properties daily across 8 data sources — including court receiverships, public auctions, Israel Land Authority records, and municipal registries — scoring each opportunity across 15 parameters before a human ever reviews it.

For international investors, this means: verified data in English, market intelligence your competitors don't have, and a single point of contact who understands both Israeli market dynamics and international investment requirements.

Our Values

Transparency

No hidden fees, no dual representation without disclosure, no selective data. Every AI score comes with full criteria explanation. Every commission is declared upfront. You know exactly what you're paying and why.

Expertise

Commercial real estate is not residential real estate. Logistics is not retail. We specialize deeply in the asset classes we represent — logistics, industrial, and commercial — so our advice is grounded in genuine market expertise, not generalist assumptions.

Innovation

The Israeli commercial property market has historically been opaque. We're changing that with technology. Our AI systems, data integrations, and English-language reporting are not features — they're our core commitment to giving clients an information advantage.
