How a Long-Term Client Bought and Sold Property in Alanya

Why Turkey and Alanya Became a Conscious Choice

Anna lives between Russia and Northern Europe and was looking for a country where she could comfortably spend most of the year. Turkey attracted her with its combination of climate, infrastructure, and clear rules for foreigners.

Alanya, specifically the Mahmutlar district, turned out to be the optimal solution for living: a developed urban environment, proximity to the sea, and a stable real estate market. That is why Anna began to consider buying property in Turkey as a long-term step rather than a spontaneous decision.

First Purchase: The Beginning of Cooperation with RestProperty

The first transaction took place back in 2019. At that time, the task was simple: to select comfortable housing for personal use, without haste or experimentation.

The RestProperty team supported the client at every stage, explaining market nuances and legal aspects. This helped avoid common mistakes that foreigners often face when buying an apartment in Alanya.

An Investment for Family and a Successful Sale

Some time later, Anna returned with a new request — to purchase an apartment as an investment for her granddaughter. The property was selected with liquidity and future resale potential in mind.

In 2023, the apartment was successfully sold. This stage showed that real estate investments in Turkey can be not only comfortable, but also rational with the right choice of property.

When Lifestyle Changes: The Need for a Larger Apartment

After selling the investment property, Anna continued living in a studio in Mahmutlar. Over time, it became clear that for permanent residence, more space was needed.

The new request was clear:

• a 1+1 apartment;
• secondary market;
• a residential, well-established area;
• a limited budget.

Such tasks require precise market alignment, especially when it comes to secondary property in Turkey.

Urgent Sale and a Decision in 30 Minutes

The turning point came unexpectedly.

While relaxing on the beach, a property appeared on a very urgent sale. The RestProperty manager immediately contacted the client and explained: if action was not taken right away, the apartment would go to another buyer.

Within 30 minutes of the listing being published, a decision was made and the purchase was completed. This is how professional support works when a client trusts the agency’s expertise and understands the market.

Transaction Result: A Comfortable Apartment for Living

Anna purchased exactly what she was looking for:

• a 1+1 apartment;
• on the secondary market;
• in her favorite Mahmutlar district;
• a format fully matching her current needs.

The studio that was no longer relevant was put up for sale at her request. This made it possible to change lifestyle format without unnecessary pressure while staying in a familiar area.
