Foreigners can sell their real estate in Turkey with the same conditions as a Turkish citizen. The procedures of property sales in Turkey are same for Turkish property sellers and foreigner property sellers. It is not compulsory to work with a real estate broker when you are selling your property in Turkey. You can choose to list your property yourself or you can get real estate agent service.
Before listing your property for sale, make good market research to understand the price level in your neighborhood for similar real estate. You should aim for same price or more price when you list your property. Don’t sell your property at a cheaper price than the market unless you need urgent cash. You can list your property yourself on main property listing websites in Turkey such as sahibinden.com and hepsiemlak.com. If you work with a Turkish real estate broker, check his real estate broker registration license and make sure that he has a good portfolio of potential buyers. The real estate brokers in Turkey receive 2% commission when they give real estate sales service for the property owner.
I advise all foreigners to work with a Turkish professional who has experience in property title deed procedures. A professional can help you to get a title deed appointment, preparing the documents for property sales. In Turkey, you need to collect your money before signing the property sales papers at the title deed office.
