Buying Through a Licensed Turkish Agency
611 properties, $150K to $50M, all marketed by us directly. Türkiye's property market is served by a very large number of intermediaries of very uneven quality, and the difference shows up after the sale rather than during it. This page is about how we work and what to ask any agency you deal with here — including us.
What to ask any agency in this market
Are you licensed, and can you show it? Do you market this property directly, or are you the fourth party in a chain each taking a margin? Is the price I am quoted the price a Turkish buyer would be quoted? Will you introduce me to an independent lawyer, or would you rather I used yours? And what happens after the deed — do you have anyone on the ground in this market, or does the relationship end at completion?
None of those questions is rude and all of them are answerable in a sentence. An agency that becomes vague at the third or the fifth is telling you something useful.
How we work
We are a licensed agency with offices in Istanbul, Bodrum, Dubai and Miami, and every property we list is marketed by us directly with an independently verified title deed. Advisors are multilingual and are attached to a market rather than to a call centre, which is the reason a question about a Bodrum bay gets answered by someone who was in it this month.
Turkish citizenship applications are run by our own in-house team end to end rather than referred out — see the programme in detail — and we say plainly when a property clears the threshold but is not the right thing to hold for three years. That is a shorter list than the qualifying one, and it is the one worth having.
After the sale
Utility transfers, the tax number and bank account, the annual tax declaration, property management, the seasonal opening and closing of coastal houses, and the resale when it comes. Our advisors deal with the same owners years later, which is a fairly effective discipline against selling someone the wrong house.
