Frequently Asked Questions
Which cities in Turkey are best for billionaires and ultra-high-net-worth buyers?
Istanbul leads by far — especially Bosphorus-front neighbourhoods such as Bebek, Yeniköy and Tarabya, along with branded residences in Beşiktaş and Şişli. Bodrum’s Yalıkavak and Türkbükü peninsulas are the summer choice of global elites, while Ankara and İzmir attract buyers seeking privacy and long-term value. A private agent can access off-market estates in all of these locations.
Why is a trusted private agent essential when buying property in Turkey?
The Turkish market rewards local knowledge. Title-deed verification, zoning checks, developer credibility and realistic pricing all require an advisor who answers only to you — not to a seller. A trusted private agent protects you from overpriced or legally problematic properties, negotiates on your behalf and keeps your identity confidential throughout the transaction.
Can foreigners buy luxury homes and apartments in Istanbul?
Yes. Citizens of most countries can purchase property in Turkey with full freehold ownership. The process involves a tax number, a bank account, an official valuation report and title-deed transfer — all of which Motelle Property manages end-to-end for international clients.
How does buying real estate lead to Turkish citizenship?
Foreign buyers who invest at least $400,000 USD in Turkish real estate and hold it for three years are eligible to apply for Turkish citizenship by investment. Motelle Property coordinates the entire application with vetted legal partners, from property selection to passport delivery.
What exactly does a private agent do that a normal agency does not?
A private agent represents the buyer exclusively. That means access to off-market and pre-launch opportunities, independent valuations, hard negotiation on price and terms, discreet handling of your identity, and continued support after purchase — from furnishing and rental management to eventual resale.
How do I start working with Motelle Property?
Simply send us an enquiry describing your goals — investment, lifestyle or citizenship. A senior advisor will arrange a private consultation, prepare a curated shortlist of verified properties and accompany you through every step, whether you visit Istanbul in person or purchase remotely.
