Your project, read properly before anyone is asked to trust it.
Most of our buyers are deciding from another country, about a building they have not stood inside, under a legal system they have never used. The reason projects stall at that point is almost never the project. It is that nobody has made it legible. That is the work this desk does.
What we are
An independent Türkiye property desk. We take on a small number of projects, we write the pages that describe them ourselves, and we handle every buyer enquiry that follows through to the deed.
We are not a volume listings portal or an open broker directory. Your project does not get uploaded next to a thousand others and left to compete on photographs. It gets read, checked, written up, and represented by someone who can answer a question about it without calling you first.
How a project comes onto the desk
Five stages, in this order. Nothing skips ahead.
- 01IntroductionYou send the project. We read it before we meet, so the meeting is about the parts that need a person.
- 02File reviewTitle status, permits, ownership structure and delivery record. The legal review is done by an independent Turkish property lawyer we appoint — not by us, and not by your counsel.
- 03Terms in writingCommercial terms are agreed per project and signed before anything is published. Nothing goes live on a handshake.
- 04PublicationThe project gets an editorial page written here — the payment plan, what is included, what is not, and the honest disadvantages. Buyers can tell when a page is a brochure.
- 05The fileEvery enquiry is handled by the desk. You get a named contact and a written record of what was said to whom.
What we ask you for
All of it exists already. If a document on this list cannot be produced, that is usually the answer to a different question.
Commercial terms
We are paid by the developer. The buyer pays us nothing, and we say so on every buyer-facing page, because a buyer who discovers it later stops believing the rest.
What we are paid is agreed per project, in writing, before your project appears anywhere. There is no standard rate published on this page because there is no standard rate. It depends on the project, the work involved and what we are actually being asked to do.
We make no sales guarantee and we commit to no timetable. We will not tell you how quickly units will move or how many will. Anyone who does is selling you something other than property.
Who is on the desk today
Babacan Holding / Babacan GYO, an Istanbul developer operating since 1984, is on the desk. Their projects are described on the public site alongside everything a buyer needs in order to disagree with us about them.
We are adding projects deliberately and slowly. The constraint is not appetite — it is that every project on the desk has to be one we can answer questions about at this level of detail.
