Deciding where to buy property in Turkey, the best way is like the locals do.

The search begins at the online portals. 

No Problem...! Online portals in Turkey require Turkish language reading and writing ability, to obtain the search results, communicate with the seller, etc. No Problem...! Help with the Turkish language can be had from the Team at mytapu.com. The help can provide guidance as to key words and terminology, or it can extend to creating the login registrations, doing the searches in each portal for you, and liaising with the seller for you. These are fee paying services but the charges are not much more than simple translation fees.

Consider the savings: buying from an English speaking agent is going to cost 10%-20% more. In any case, not less than 5% above market prices. That means buying a property for EUR 100,000 has an immediate resale value of EUR 95,000. The buyer’s loss is in the agent’s pocket. Even if the agent has given a discount… a 3% discount from a price that has been marked up 10% in advance, is not a discount.  So a buyer has an immediate SAVING of at least EUR 5,000 compared to buying from an on-line English speaking agent. With that saving the buyer can easily cover the expenses of translation and liaison to find a wider choice of properties on portals at real bargain prices.

Professional investors may prefer to have more extensive search. This is usually preferred by portfolio investors that are looking for the best rental properties to grow their portfolios and maximize rental income yields. For example, in the best rental income location in densely populated central Istanbul, a professional Property Finder Search & Selection Service that meets an investors pre-determined criteria, will identify 1,000- 1,500 properties, short-list 40-50 of these based on preliminary Due Diligence, and schedule 20-25 for viewings and then negotiations.

Flexible for all Budgets: The formal property searches come in all sizes and shapes, to meet all budgets. A second home buyer can easily cover the cost for just 10% -20% of the money saved by avoiding commissions and hidden price mark-ups from English speaking on- line agents.
