Turkey is a country located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with the main part being on the Anatolian Peninsula side in Western Asia, with a smaller portion (called Thrace) in Southeastern Europe.
Bordered by eight countries, Turkey is next to Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest, Georgia to the northeast, Armenia, Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan exclave), Iran to the east, and Iraq and Syria to the south.
Turkey is also surrounded by three seas, the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
The capital city of Turkey is Ankara, while Istanbul is its largest city and a major cultural and economic hub, famously spanning both Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait.
Popular areas of Turkey with International Buyers:
Leading or top agents often have extensive experience in local market trends, pricing, neighborhoods, and where to find investment real estate that fits the buyers financial goals.
A good real estate agent will be responsive, know how to negotiate, and keep the buyer and seller informed of the status of the deal at all times.
Who has the best reviews can be helpful, but word-of-mouth from happy clients, or friends and family, is usually the safest way to hire an agent.
Depending on your needs, you might want an agent who specializes in a specific market, like luxury homes, investment properties, or first-time home buyers.
The best agents in Turkey often have a wide network of contractors, inspectors, and mortgage brokers, which can make the buying and selling process smoother.
