You don’t need another list of a thousand apartments. Instead, you need three Istanbul property options that actually fit your budget, your goal and your timeline. So answer four questions, and our Maslak team will build that shortlist by hand.
Most agencies show you everything and then let you guess. However, we do the opposite: first we understand what you actually need, and afterwards we bring you a short, honest comparison — including the Istanbul property projects we think you should avoid.
01
We listen first
Citizenship, rental income, capital growth or a family home — therefore each goal points to a completely different building. So we start there, not with a price list.
02
We shortlist three
Then, from the 23 projects and the resale stock we track in Maslak and central Istanbul, you receive three matched options — with real prices, not brochure prices.
03
We compare honestly
First, side by side: yield, service charges, delivery date, resale history and citizenship eligibility. In addition, we tell you which ones we would not buy, and why.
04
We stay after the deed
Finally: title deed, valuation, citizenship file, utilities, furnishing, tenants and resale. Because the same team that sold it to you also manages it for you.
Project Matcher
Let’s Find Your Three.
In short: four questions, under a minute. Also, no account and no obligation — because a real advisor prepares your shortlist by hand.
What is your main goal in Istanbul?
In fact, this decides the building more than anything else.
What is your budget?
In US dollars. Then we’ll show you what is realistic at each level.
When do you want the keys?
Of course, ready apartments and under-construction projects are priced very differently.
Have you visited Istanbul before?
So we know whether to start with a video tour or a viewing day.
Good — that’s everything we need.
An advisor will hand-pick three projects for you and send them within 24 hours, in your language.
In short: no form, no sign-up, no mailing list. Instead, your answers open a WhatsApp message — and one advisor reads it and replies personally.
Citizenship by Investment
If Citizenship Is the Goal, the Choice Gets Narrower.
Not every apartment qualifies, and above all, not every qualifying apartment is a good buy. Therefore we only shortlist Istanbul property with a clean title, a valuation that holds at $400,000, and a realistic resale market after the three-year holding period.
Clean title, no encumbrance, and a valuation that will actually support $400,000 — because we check all of it before you see it.
2
Purchase & valuation
Then the title deed transfer, with a licensed appraisal report; meanwhile the payment runs through the Turkish banking system.
3
Application
Next, our sworn legal partners file the residence permit and citizenship application on your behalf.
4
Passport, then the asset
Then approval usually arrives within 3–6 months. Finally, we rent, manage or resell the property for you.
Our Advisors
Meet the People You’ll Actually Deal With
First, no call centre and no anonymous inbox. Instead, one Istanbul property advisor takes your enquiry, and then stays with you through the viewing, the title deed and everything after it. In short, here are ten of our twenty-six.

Our Offices
Two Offices, Both Sides of Istanbul
Because anyone can build a website and nobody can fake a front door. We work from two offices – one in Maslak on the European side, one in Cinarkoy on the Asian side – and you are welcome to walk into either of them before you commit to anything.
European Side / Head Office
Maslak
Maslak 1453, Sarıyer / Istanbul
Our head office sits inside the Maslak 1453 residence, in the middle of the business district. Because most of the buildings we cover are a few minutes away by car, we can usually show you three of them in a single afternoon.
Emlak Konut Çınarköy Evleri, A Blok, Güngören Mah. 34788 Çekmeköy / Istanbul
On the Asian side, our Çınarköy office covers Çekmeköy and the forest-and-villa corridor. This is our largest single portfolio, and the one families relocating to Istanbul most often end up choosing.
Three Istanbul Property Corridors — Not All of Turkey
Of course, most agencies claim the whole country. Because our focus is narrower, we work three corridors only, and we have sold, rented or managed units in every building listed below. So start by choosing the corridor that matches how you want to live or invest, or browse every Istanbul property project we cover.
Istanbul’s Business District
Maslak
Because the office towers of Maslak sit right next door, rental demand here is corporate, year-round and in hard currency. In addition, metro on the doorstep, 25 minutes to the new airport, 15 to Levent. As a result, this is where our portfolio is deepest — roughly 220 units across seven buildings. You can also see current Maslak apartments for sale and rent.
Best for: citizenship buyers who also want a tenant from day one, and anyone who wants the easiest exit later.
Buildings we cover here
MashattanMaslak My HomeMaslak 1453Maslak 42SkylandAs Maslak
The Growth Corridor
Vadistanbul & Kâğıthane
Then there is Istanbul’s newest residential corridor, built along a green valley with its own shopping mall and park. Moreover, entry prices are noticeably below Maslak for the same square metres, and the metro line has already arrived — which is usually where capital growth comes from.
Best for: capital growth and family living, and for budgets that do not stretch to Maslak yet.
Finally, low-rise and villa projects on the forest edge, north and east of the city. Quiet and green, with international schools nearby — therefore a different buyer entirely from the tower investor. Meanwhile, our largest single project by unit count sits here.
Best for: families relocating to Istanbul, and buyers who want space and garden rather than a tower.

Also active in Şişli–Bomonti, Beşiktaş and Levent — ask us if you have a specific building in mind.
Sometimes the Right Istanbul Property Isn’t a New Build.
Most agencies only sell new projects, because the developer pays them more. In addition, we hold a resale Istanbul property portfolio inside the same buildings — frequently below new-build pricing, and with the title deed already issued. You can also browse more apartments for sale in Istanbul.
Because the title deed is already in hand, this is the fastest route for a citizenship file
Real transaction history, so the valuation is not a guess
Still room to negotiate, which a developer price list never gives you
In addition, HDR photography and video tours for every unit we list
Of course, all listing prices are shown in Turkish lira (TL). However, ask us for the equivalent in your currency — we quote in USD, EUR or AED on request.
Video Tours
See the Apartment Before You Book the Flight
Because photographs flatter and floor plans leave things out, we film the units we handle – the actual corridor, the actual view, the actual light. Here are three recent walkthroughs of apartments and villas we have for sale, and there are more on our channel.
A Narrow Focus Is Why Our Istanbul Property Advice Works
🏛
One district, 17 years
Above all, we don’t sell the whole country. Instead, we know every building in Maslak — including the ones we tell clients to skip.
⚖
Legal & citizenship team
Because the paperwork decides everything, sworn lawyers and translators handle the title deed, permits and citizenship file end to end.
🔑
We’re there after the deed
Utilities, furnishing, tenants, rental management and eventual resale — likewise the same team, in the same office.
🌍
Your language
English, Arabic and Russian — so you are understood from the first WhatsApp message to the day you sign.
Come and See Us
Our Offices Are in the Districts We Sell
On the European side we are inside Maslak 1453 — that is, the same complex we advise on. On the Asian side we are in Çınarköy, Çekmeköy. So visit either one for a coffee when you are in Istanbul, or if you prefer, start with a video call from wherever you are today.
