✔ Sourced & reviewed · updated 25 Sep 2026| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Get a realistic valuation | Compare against current district asking-price data (see the relevant district's prices page) rather than pricing on hope |
| 2. List the property | Reach buyer requests across the partner network — see list-your-property |
| 3. Receive and negotiate offers | A realistic asking price typically draws serious offers faster; overpriced listings can sit for months (S1) |
| 4. Buyer due diligence & contract | The buyer's lawyer checks encumbrances, occupancy certificate and title before signing — see the Turkey due-diligence guide for what they'll be looking at |
| 5. Tapu transfer | Both parties (or representatives under power of attorney) sign at the Land Registry; the transfer fee is paid and ownership passes that day |
Alanya Realty's Q3 2026 data uses roughly 45-60 days as a working benchmark for a correctly priced standard apartment to sell; this is a general benchmark, not a guarantee for any specific property (S1).
The single biggest lever on how fast your property sells is the asking price relative to the current market, not marketing effort or presentation. Alanya Realty's data is explicit that overpriced listings can sit for months without serious offers, while correctly priced ones move within roughly 45-60 days (S1). If you're unsure where your property sits, compare it against sourced asking-price data for your specific district rather than a citywide average, since prices vary meaningfully between districts.
Alanya Realty's Q3 2026 data uses roughly 45-60 days as a benchmark for a correctly priced standard apartment; overpriced listings can take considerably longer (S1).
Pricing it correctly relative to the current market. Alanya Realty's data specifically flags overpricing as the main reason listings sit unsold for months (S1).
It's strongly advisable — comparing your property against current district asking-price data gives you a realistic starting point rather than pricing on hope.
Encumbrance checks, confirming you're the genuine owner, and reviewing the occupancy certificate against the property's actual condition — see the Turkey due-diligence guide for the full list from the buyer's perspective.
It's uncommon but possible if due diligence turns up an issue or financing falls through; this is one reason having clear title and documentation ready upfront reduces risk on both sides.
No — a power of attorney lets a lawyer or representative sign on your behalf, the same arrangement commonly used by buyers.
The sales contract is a commitment between buyer and seller; ownership only legally passes at the Tapu transfer itself, when both sides sign before the Land Registry officer.
Yes — if you're reselling an off-plan unit before completion, the process depends on your agreement with the original developer and what rights you hold at that stage; confirm this with a lawyer before listing.
You're free to negotiate and choose between them; there's no obligation to accept the first offer, and a realistic asking price often brings more than one serious buyer.
The seller's side of the process is the same either way; what differs is on the buyer's side of the rules — see the Turkey foreign-buyers guide for what applies to them.
