We were sitting in our rental car in the pouring rain in Kemer on a November afternoon - with just a few hours left before our flight back home. Our thirds holiday had been wonderful and the idea to live in Turkey had taken seed - we had been looking around. Now driving along we noticed the Secondhome office. Why not drop in?
Did we know what we wanted, how much to spend, where??? Not really however - Elif and Purlen did not seem put out by this and soon we were taken on a tour of the locality - and indeed we came across a house that immediately felt right! We made it to Antalya for the flight and the rest was done by email. In March we came back and had the keys to our new home.
But just as important were those first few days in Turkey, being guided by them through the intricacies of Turkish bureaucracy to sort out the title deed (TAPU), residence permit, water, electricity, telephone, internet. They were patient, helpful and efficient.
Dreams can come true.
Thank you Purlen, Elif, Sonmez, Selda - and the lady who makes the endless cups of tea and coffee.
To Whom It May Concern: My wife and I have been dealing with Purlen and Elif of Second Home Turkey for a couple of years and in that time they have shown several properties to us. So far we have purchased three properties and on each occasion the process has been smooth and professional.
Since then we have decided to rent them all out and they have assisted us in furnishing each apartment, they have negotiated on our behalf to fix any outstanding building issues with the builder and have organised tenants for each property at a satisfactory rental charge.
They even assisted us to open Turkish bank accounts. In addition to this they have sent updates to us including many current photographs of our apartments. To sum up they have done a great job and have made the issue of purchasing and renting property in a foreign country with a different language very easy. They are well supported by the rest of the Second Home team and are a pleasure to deal with Chris and Susie Kearton
I have now been working with all the team at Second Home Turkey for over 5 years, after branching out into buying a second home and later into property development in Turkey. This really follows on from being involved in the UK and Spanish market for 15 years.
In 15 years, I have experienced all the ups and downs that houses and property can throw at you, and met some great people and unfortunately some not so great people and companies. The reason I am still involved in Turkey is simply down the effort and attention that Purlen, Elif & Sonmez have applied in the past 5 years meeting some of my difficult requests. Like anyone buying outside their own country for the first time, whether it is a dream second home, or for investment - you really are taking a leap of faith . You may not understand the property law, pricing approach or even where to buy or not to buy - so finding someone you can really trust to advise you, is the most important step you can take. Just to add to this, many real estate companies I have met, are of course very friendly when it comes to the initial visits, meetings and tours, all the way to the date you sign the contract - but it is at this point when you really need the service and trust (the aftersales bit) - and this is where Second Home Turkey really impressed me, while others let me down.
Living in the UK and not having the luxury of being able to just drop everything in my business to pop across to Turkey, I need not just a real estate company, but a partner in Turkey. So having the support mechanism that the team offer me from initial selection of the property that meets my needs, to viewing (physical or remotely), through purchase, translation, legal and conveyancing is critical. In the age of low cost airlines, cheap internet deals and ebay; you often forget how important good service is. Next time you have terrible service in a restaurant or at an airport; just think how re-assuring it is when things go smoothly and you can actually talk to somebody knowledgeable, who can solve your problem. This for me, sums up the service I enjoy working with the Second Home Turkey team. Understanding, knowledgeable and giving you the valuable time you need to talk through your ideas, fears and concerns. Good service - you cant knock it!! If you haven t yet visited Kemer/Antalya and this region of Turkey, you are also in for a treat. Its natural beauty is stunning - with mountains, streams, forests and of course the beaches and sea.
There s no sign of the region becoming another High rise hell and even in the past 5 years with more people looking to settle down with a second home - it still keeps its natural charm. So if your thinking of taking a look at this beautiful area - whether for your dream second home, or even for investment, I would not hesitate to recommend the team at Second Home Turkey. If a new home in this beautiful region of the world isn t for you, well at least Sonmez knows some great restaurants!!
