My experience
What my experience brings you
In Istanbul since 1997
French, I have lived and worked here for almost thirty years. I know the city, its neighbourhoods and how things are done.
Licensed realtor since 2011
I am fortunate to have the full trust of my clients, who give me power of attorney to manage their property. I look after a building of 25 flats in Beşiktaş and work as an agent in seven districts of Istanbul: Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Şişli, Sarıyer, Beykoz, Üsküdar and Kadıköy.
An entrepreneur's pragmatic know-how
I have founded four companies in Turkey, so I know first-hand what setting up, importing and administration involve. I have given pragmatic support to companies such as Lotte Chemical, Nexen Tire, Viva Santé and Bic. I share that experience and bring you the solution — for your home, your office or your business set-up.
About the founder
I am French, and I have lived and worked in Istanbul since 1997.
My first job was at ADCO, a Turkish company importing wines from around the world for hotels and restaurants. In 1999 I founded my first company, importer and distributor of Bic Graphic pens (2000–2006). My second company imported promotional products and amenities for businesses until 2010 — a great opportunity to work with every sector of industry.
Expat Turkey Real Estate, created in 2011 — the year I obtained my realtor licence — began by offering practical, hands-on support to foreign companies setting up in Turkey. They needed offices and homes for their expatriates — and that is how real estate became my profession.
Figen Tesson joined me in the summer of 2015. The two of us are at your service and would be glad to manage your property. Call us, and let us meet at our office or at your property: it will be a pleasure to meet you. Our two entities, Expat Turkey and Expat Istanbul, will be delighted to serve you.
Relocation & business set-up
I support new entrepreneurs in setting up their own office in Turkey, pragmatically: finding the premises, introducing a lawyer, furnishing the office and handling the administrative steps — with practical guidance on logistics and importing.
