Meet TORA Cyprus
You don’t need to rush to book flights, chase after contractors, or wonder what’s happening behind the construction fence. We are already here, on the ground everyday, following the neighbourhoods and closely monitoring every stage of construction while protecting your interests.
We always love it when you come visit to experience the island and the project for yourself, but when you are away, we are your eyes on the ground.
We will keep you updated on every stage of the construction progress. Most importantly, we will give you the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated local partner right here for you. And if you choose, we can continue to support you long after your purchase, helping you manage your property through our local service network.
The Team Behind TORA
TORA’s roots were planted in 2012, after Yarmit completed a decade of management at FedEx, and Yishai, a seasoned attorney since 2001, was appointed CEO of a local group of companies. Since then, Cyprus has become their home and the centre of their lives. Today, they are Cypriot citizens. Their children grew up here, are local citizens themselves, and even serve in the Cypriot military.
Real estate has always been at the core of our work. With over 25 years of experience in international business and real estate, Yishai brings an additional layer of legal and commercial insight to TORA. This extensive background strengthens our ability to evaluate transactions and understand the bigger picture.
In fact, it all started by word of mouth. Friends and investors began reaching out to us for advice on investment properties. We quickly realized we were answering a genuine need, and that is how TORA was born.
From personal investment consulting, we evolved into full partners with a long-established and highly respected and experienced local contractor and leading developers – an alliance that has proven to be a winning combination. We introduced efficiency, professionalism, and a hands-on management approach, while our local partner brought 40 years of construction experience on the island alongside an unmatched reputation.
Today, this combination allows our clients to enjoy the complete transparency and security that comes from working face-to-face with the very people developing and building our projects. You work directly with us – directly with the people developing and building the projects, with full transparency and no unnecessary layers in between.
In-Depth Industry Expertise
Integrity and Transparency Above All – With us, everything is open and upfront, with no fine print and no surprises. Everything is on the table. We believe that the right decision starts with having the full picture from day one.
Your Interests Come First – To us, you are never “just another transaction,” but rather true partners in our journey and our community. We treat every purchase as if it were our own, carefully matching properties to your specific needs and goals, and guiding you with dedication and responsibility every step of the way.
Genuine Local Presence – Cyprus is our home. We are Cypriot citizens, business owners, and active members of the local community. We are right here for our clients long after the deal is closed.
Long-Term Trust – Most of our clients come to us through word of mouth and personal recommendations, and many return for additional purchases. They know they always have someone to turn to. For us, there is no stronger testament to the trust we have built over the years.
At TORA, we understand that behind every property purchase, there is a clear purpose.
Whether you are dreaming of a home just a short walk from the beach, searching for the perfect place for a peaceful retirement, buying for yourself or your family, or whether you are a private investor seeking an income-generating asset and capital appreciation, or a commercial investor looking for a broader opportunity – our mission is simple: to give your vision an address in Cyprus.
We handle every single detail on the journey to the keys, allowing you to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from working with a trusted, local team that lives and breathes the island.
You are purchasing a property in a project we know from the inside out, one in which we are actively involved as development partners and investors ourselves. Along the way, we will connect you with the right professionals and closely guide you through the entire process.
Security, belonging, and proven expertise.
At TORA, we don’t just “show properties” – we find the property that fits right for you.
Thanks to our in-depth matching process, a very high percentage of our clients ultimately choose the very first property we present to them.
This is no coincidence. We invest the time to understand your goals, budget, lifestyle, and expectations, filtering out options that simply aren’t right for you.
FAQ
It begins with a personal call.
Once you submit your details, we will reach out within 24 hours for an introductory call to understand your needs, budget, and goals. We dedicate a great deal of attention to this initial stage, because the more accurately we understand what you are looking for, the better the match will be. From there, we will review which of our projects and properties best suit your needs and share carefully handpicked options with you. The next step we recommend is a comprehensive tour of Cyprus, which includes airport pickup, touring the neighbourhoods, visiting the new projects, and meeting our local partner – or, depending on your preference, visiting other relevant properties.
Our clients form a community that has been built over years. For nearly a decade, a significant portion of TORA’s business has come through word of mouth: clients who purchased a property with us return when they are ready to buy another, and they refer their friends, family, colleagues, and business partners to us. For us, this is one of the strongest indicators of the trust we have built along the way.
We work primarily with three groups:
What they all have in common is simple: they are looking for a trusted local partner they can rely on – not just for one transaction, but for the long term.
No. In the projects we offer, TORA is a part of the development itself.
This means our interests are completely aligned with yours: we will only offer you projects that we have personally invested in and wholeheartedly believe in. Long before a project is ever presented to you, we rigorously screen dozens of plots of land based on location, proximity to the sea, growth potential, pricing, and building rights.
In our projects, we are full development partners, involved from the initial land selection and acquisition, through design and development, all the way to construction and handover.
We invest in the projects ourselves, and in every development we undertake, we even keep one or two apartments for ourselves because we truly believe in the project and its potential. That is why, when we offer you a property in one of our projects, we are sitting on the same side of the table, investing right alongside you.
That is absolutely fine. We believe that the client shouldn’t have to adapt to the project. If we don’t currently have a property in our own projects that matches your needs, budget, or goals, we will expand the search through our network of long-standing, trusted local colleagues whom we have known for years – primarily in the Larnaca area, and if necessary, in Limassol as well.
We operate primarily in Larnaca and Limassol, with a central, strategic focus on Larnaca – our home and the area where we have lived, worked, and invested since 2012. Larnaca is one of the strongest development opportunities on the island, offering untapped investment opportunities and significant room for capital appreciation.
We have been active in real estate development in Larnaca since 2016, working alongside a local partner with 40 years of proven industry experience. Whenever a client’s specific needs call for it, we can also assist in sourcing properties in the Limassol area.
That is exactly why we are here! We live in Cyprus and are on the ground every single day. In the projects where we are development partners, we are directly involved in the progress. We send you regular on-site updates at every major project milestone – all with 100% transparency.
For properties we source for you on the open market, we will help connect you with the right professionals and closely guide you through the local processes.
You are always welcome to come visit and see things for yourself, but even when you aren’t here, you have a dedicated local partner you can rely on.
We believe in absolute transparency, which is why we never offer “guaranteed” returns.
In our areas of operation, and with the right properties, we often see long-term rental yields of around 5%, and sometimes even higher. The actual yield varies from property to property and depends on several factors, including location, purchase price, property type, level of finish, rental rates, and associated expenses.
Beyond the ongoing income, we also look at the quality of the location, market demand, and the potential for capital appreciation over time.
We offer end-to-end guidance, with the process varying slightly depending on the property type:
Needs Discovery: Following our introductory call, we pinpoint your exact needs, goals, and budget, and present you with the most relevant options.
Legal Due Diligence and Contract Signing: In our projects, the partnership’s in-house legal department handles the legal matters relating to the development itself. We highly recommend that buyers be represented by their own independent lawyer for the purchase transaction. If you do not have a local attorney, we can refer you to experienced external legal advisors in Cyprus, though the final choice and engagement are entirely up to you.
Milestone-Based Payments: We will only ask you to make payments following the completion of each construction stage. To facilitate this, we will send you photos and videos directly from the construction site. You are also welcome to visit the site independently, allowing you to proceed with complete peace of mind.
Construction and Updates: You choose the finishes yourself, with the option to make these selections virtually (though we are always happy to host you here and guide you through the process in person!). Concurrently, you will receive 3D renderings and ongoing progress reports directly from the site.
Handover and Setup: We offer an optional, fully installed furniture and appliance package, ensuring your home is perfectly ready for you the moment you arrive.
Post-Handover: The choice is yours – keep your new property strictly for private use, or utilize our property management services to enjoy a professionally managed, income-generating property.
The timeline moves at your pace – it is not dictated by a rigid schedule.
Our first call usually takes place within 24 hours of your inquiry. Because we handle the meticulous screening upfront, you will be presented with tailored opportunities rather than long, overwhelming lists. Over our years of operation, a very high percentage of our clients choose the very first property we show them – a direct result of the careful matching and filtering process we conduct before presenting any options.
From that, the process moves through contract signing, site preparation and construction.
It is important to note that construction times vary from project to project: the timeline for completed properties is significantly shorter than for those currently under construction. In both scenarios, we will provide you with regular updates with complete transparency.
It starts with a single phone call, completely obligation-free. We are not a call centre – we understand that every client has their own unique vision, which is why we provide a highly personal, one-to-one approach.
From that moment on, you will receive comprehensive, 360-degree guidance that extends long after the keys are handed over, including dedicated post-purchase support and optional property management services.
For us, real estate is never just a transaction. When you join the TORA family of clients, you gain loyal, long-term partners and truly feel at home.
