Independent Real Estate Advisory
Research, analysis, and independent reports for anyone buying or building in Turkey — with no commission, no conflict, no compromise.
The Problem
Real estate in Turkey is expensive for those who don't know the market — not just financially, but in terms of risk. Prices are opaque. Processes are complex. Most parties in a transaction have their own interests to protect.
Agents want the deal to close. Developers want to maximise the sale price. Contractors want to bill more. And you — the buyer — are left trying to figure out who to trust, often from a distance, often without speaking the language, often without knowing what questions to ask.
This is the gap I work in. I research, analyse, and report — independently. I have no commission relationship with any agent, developer, or contractor. My only income comes from the client I am working for.
I tell you what the weather is.
Whether to carry an umbrella is your call.
What this is
Market data, legal status checks, technical assessments, process guidance. Sourced, compared, and documented.
The analysis is mine. The decision is yours.
I work exclusively on the buyer's side, with a written scope and fee agreed before any work begins.
Meetings are conducted online, in English. Site visits are available across Turkey when required.
What this is not
Not investment advice — I do not forecast returns or predict value appreciation.
Not legal counsel — I identify risks and refer you to qualified lawyers.
Not a sales service — I do not list, show, or sell properties, and I earn nothing from a sale.
Not a guarantee of outcome — I provide informed analysis, not assured results.
Services
All services follow the same structure: research and analysis delivered as a written report, followed by an online meeting. Fees and full scope details are available on request.
For buyers looking at completed residential or investment property in Turkey. Each service is a standalone engagement — start with one, continue if needed.
Independent check on a property you have found. Before you make an offer or transfer any funds, understand what you are actually buying.
Side-by-side analysis of multiple properties you are considering. Remove guesswork and compare options against the same criteria.
Regular independent progress checks on a property you are purchasing off-plan. Verify that what is being built matches what was promised — and what you are being asked to pay for.
For investors evaluating land, planning a build, or managing construction in Turkey. Technical and financial analysis delivered independently.
Assessment of a plot or area before purchase. Understand the planning context, restrictions, and whether the land is what it appears to be.
Full financial picture for a build project. Understand the complete picture before committing — and whether building makes sense against simply buying a finished property.
Regular site visits and independent oversight during construction. Know what is happening on site, verify that progress matches payment requests, and avoid being overcharged.
How It Works
Every engagement starts with a free initial call. Work begins only after scope and fee are agreed in writing. You can stop at any stage.
We discuss what you are looking for. I explain what I can offer. We decide together whether there is a fit.
Free · 15–20 minAfter the call I send a written summary confirming what was discussed and the proposed next steps.
Sent same dayRemote analysis with all sources documented. For site visits, travel costs and the visit fee are paid in advance.
Paid before startWe walk through the report together online. You ask questions. I explain what I found and what it means.
Online · 45–60 minContinuation is optional. Each stage is separate. There is no obligation to proceed beyond what you have paid for.
Your decisionFees and full scope details are provided in a separate document, sent on request after the initial call. There is no fee to discuss whether my service is right for your situation. For online meetings, payment follows the meeting. For site visits, travel costs and the visit fee are paid in advance.
Why Independent Matters
In Turkey, the concept of a buyer's agent — someone who represents only the buyer, with no stake in the sale — is almost entirely absent. Most agents and advisors earn their fee from the transaction itself. This creates a structural conflict of interest that is rarely discussed.
When I am hired, I am hired by you. I am paid by you. My analysis reflects what I find — not what anyone wants me to find.
If a property has problems, I say so. The report goes to you, not to the seller.
If a price is not justified by the market, I say so. I have no incentive to make the deal look better than it is.
If a contractor's quote is inflated, I say so. I source multiple quotes and compare them — independently.
I do not earn more if you buy more. My position is fixed: on your side.
About
My work sits at the intersection of architecture, market analysis, and process advisory. I start by understanding what you actually need before recommending anything — a practice shaped by an ICF coaching background as much as by technical training.
An architecture degree gives me the ability to read buildings and assess construction quality. An SPK Real Estate Valuation licence means I have formal training in how property is priced, what data matters, and how to document it. This combination is uncommon in Turkish real estate — and it shapes how I approach every project.
I have worked across different countries and time zones. I am comfortable operating in cross-border contexts and managing the information gap that comes with them.
Contact
15 to 20 minutes. We discuss what you are looking for, I explain what I can offer, and we decide together whether there is a fit. No obligation.
I will be in touch shortly to arrange the initial call.

The services provided are advisory in nature. They do not constitute legal counsel, formal real estate valuation reports, or investment advice. Formal valuation reports (in Turkey) may only be produced by SPK-licensed valuation companies. The analysis and information provided reflects research conducted at the time of engagement.
