Our principles

Principles we hold to

i.

Your interests, only

We represent the buyer and the client — never the listing. Our advice is independent and our loyalty is undivided.

ii.

Discretion as standard

Privacy is not a feature; it is the way we work. Your plans, finances and identity remain entirely confidential.

iii.

Honesty before the sale

We will tell you when a property is wrong, when the timing is poor, and when patience will serve you better.

iv.

The whole picture

Property, residence, company and tax are considered together — because for our clients, they are never separate.

How we work

A considered, personal process

Step one

Consultation

We listen first — your goals, timeline, family and budget — before any property is ever discussed.

Step two

Strategy & search

A tailored plan across property, residence and company — with a curated, private selection to view.

Step three

Settle & support

We see it through to completion and beyond — permits, management and life in your new home.

A boutique advisory

More than property.
A trusted partner for the
life you are building.

For international clients, moving to Turkey is rarely only about a transaction. It is about residence, family, taxation, company structure and belonging.

Founded in 2011 by Dominique Le Doaré, Expat Turkey is a boutique firm that guides affluent buyers and expatriates through every step — from the first viewing to the day you receive your residence permit and feel genuinely at home.

About the founder

My role is to protect my clients' interests as if they were my own — to advise honestly, and to make a foreign country feel like home.
