The founder
Expat Turkey was founded on a simple belief: that international clients deserve a partner who represents their interests alone.
How we work
We listen first — your goals, timeline, family and budget — before any property is ever discussed.
A tailored plan across property, residence and company — with a curated, private selection to view.
We see it through to completion and beyond — permits, management and life in your new home.
Client testimonials
Verified Google reviews from clients who relocated, invested and built their lives in Turkey with Expat Turkey.
Read our reviews on GoogleDominique guided our entire relocation from Geneva — the apartment, the residence permits, the school places. We never once felt like clients; we felt looked after.
M. & C. Reynaud Relocated from Switzerland
We invested in Istanbul from London with complete confidence. Every figure was honest, every introduction was the right one. A genuinely trustworthy partner.
James Hartley Investor · United Kingdom
From company formation to our villa in Bodrum, the process was seamless and entirely discreet. This is advisory of a different standard.
Familie Brandt Relocated from Germany
Dominique set up our Turkish company and structured everything around our residence goals from day one. Precise, patient and completely dependable.
Thomas Berger Relocated from Switzerland
She found us an apartment in Nişantaşı we would never have discovered alone, and handled the residence permits without a single misstep. Faultless.
Sophie Laurent Relocated from France
An advisor who genuinely represents the buyer. Honest about timing, candid about value, and tireless on the details. I recommend Dominique without reservation.
Élise Moreau Relocated from France
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.
Dominique Le DoaréFounder & Principal Advisor
Our principles
We represent the buyer and the client — never the listing. Our advice is independent and our loyalty is undivided.
Privacy is not a feature; it is the way we work. Your plans, finances and identity remain entirely confidential.
We will tell you when a property is wrong, when the timing is poor, and when patience will serve you better.
Property, residence, company and tax are considered together — because for our clients, they are never separate.
A personal introduction
Every relationship begins with a confidential conversation about what you hope to build in Turkey.
