The decision to buy a property in Alanya is an exciting one, filled with visions of sunny balconies and relaxing days by the pool. But for a foreign buyer, this excitement can quickly turn to anxiety if you don’t have the right partner on the ground.
In a market you’re unfamiliar with, a trusted real estate partner isn’t just a salesperson—they are your guide, your advocate, and the primary guardian of your investment. Choosing the right one is the single most important decision you will make in your property journey.
This guide provides a checklist of 7 essential questions that will help you cut through the noise, identify the true professionals, and find a partner you can trust implicitly.
First, it’s helpful to understand the two main types of property sellers in Alanya. A real estate agency typically sells properties on behalf of many different construction companies and private owners. A developer, or construction company, builds and sells its own projects. A company that does both, like Kurt Safir, offers a unique advantage: end-to-end knowledge and direct control over the quality and process, from the first brick to the final signature.
Use these questions in your initial meetings to gauge the professionalism, transparency, and reliability of any company you consider working with.
What to Listen For: Promises are easy, but proof is what matters. A reputable company will be proud to showcase their history of finished and delivered projects. Ask to see photos, locations, and even videos of their past work. A strong, diverse portfolio is a clear sign of experience and reliability. A vague answer or a small, unconvincing portfolio is a major red flag.
What to Listen For: While good agencies exist, a company that is also the developer of the property offers distinct advantages. They have complete control over the construction quality, materials, and timeline. They possess the deepest knowledge of the property because they built it. This direct model often means better value for you, as there is no middleman commission.
What to Listen For: A truly client-focused company knows that the relationship doesn’t end when you receive the keys (TAPU). Ask specifically about after-sales services. Do they help with utility subscriptions (water, electricity), residency permit applications, finding furniture packages, or even rental management? Comprehensive after-sales support shows they are invested in your long-term satisfaction, not just a quick sale.
What to Listen For: Transparency is the bedrock of trust. A professional partner will immediately provide a clear, itemized list of all potential costs beyond the property price—the Title Deed (TAPU) transfer fee, VAT, notary fees, valuation report fee, etc. They should welcome questions about costs and provide clear answers. If they are evasive or say “we’ll figure it out later,” be very cautious.
What to Listen For: The ultimate proof of a company’s reliability is its track record with other people just like you. A confident and trustworthy firm will have a list of satisfied international clients who are happy to share their experiences. While online reviews are helpful, being able to speak directly to a past client is the most powerful reference you can get.
What to Listen For: An experienced firm should be able to explain their process for the final transaction with military precision. They should clearly outline the steps for getting a tax ID number, opening a bank account, scheduling the official valuation, and the final meeting at the TAPU office. A chaotic or unclear explanation of this critical final stage suggests inexperience.
What to Listen For: This direct question gives them the chance to state their core values. Disregard generic answers like “we have the best prices.” A truly trustworthy partner will talk about their commitment to quality construction, their long-standing reputation in Alanya, their philosophy of honoring every promise, and their focus on building lasting, trust-based relationships with their clients.
Asking these tough questions will empower you, transforming you from a hopeful buyer into a confident, savvy investor.
