Mrs. Decker
Your local contact person · Managing Director
German-speaking & on-site
The boss speaks German, lives in Turkey, and is present at the notary's table. No translator, no game of telephone.
Full support
Electricity, accommodation, furnishings, tenant management — we remain your contact person even after the keys have been handed over.
Personal instead of mass business
Not a portal with 50 apartments. An individual consultation process, tailored to budget, location and goals.
Bilingual documents
Every contract, every checklist — in Turkish and German. You understand exactly what you are signing.
Why buying property in Turkey without an escort can be risky
A foreign legal system, contracts in another language, developers of varying reliability, questions surrounding Tapu, İskan, and residence permits—much of this can be fully clarified with the right support. Without it, many buyers are left dependent on information from individual sellers who naturally favor their own property. This is precisely where independent, German-speaking support comes in.

We live what we sell.
A few years ago, we took the plunge ourselves: leaving Germany and immersing ourselves in Turkish life. We know the questions that keep you up at night. We know the mistrust of foreign markets, foreign languages, and foreign legal systems.
And that's exactly why there is DECKER Real Estate.
Not as a large corporation with anonymous call centers. But as two people who support each customer in the way they themselves would have wanted to be supported: Honest, complete, in German — from the first inquiry to the TAPU in hand.
We inspect every property before showing it to you. We tell you what doesn't suit you—not just what you like. We'll be there for the notary appointment. In person. Over 300 days of sunshine a year await you in Antalya, Alanya, İzmir, and Fethiye. We'll make sure your journey there is as safe as the sunset is certain.
Our team is personally available to you — in German, without obligation, and without a waiting line.

This object is just an example.
We currently manage over 40 vetted properties in Antalya, Alanya, İzmir and Fethiye — from studios in Mahmutlar to villas with pools in Bektaş. We receive much of this information before it reaches the portals. — Off-market, directly from the seller.
They tell us three things: Budget · Region · Usage. We deliver to 24 hours, three objects, that are truly suitable — pre-checked, without bait-and-switch offers, with an honest market price assessment.
The moment we are working towards.
What our customers say
„I wanted to leave Germany — but the thought of navigating a Turkish property purchase on my own held me back for years. The team completely changed that in three phone calls — and not only found me an apartment, but guided me through everything: dealing with the authorities, getting a tax ID number, opening a bank account, and the handover. Today I drink my coffee with a sea view. It sounds like an advertisement — but it's simply the truth.“
„Emigrating alone as a woman – many thought I was crazy. The team took me seriously from the very beginning. No question was too small, no request too unimportant. The apartment in İzmir was under contract after 6 weeks, and the TAPU (property deed) was in my hands three weeks later. What impressed me most: Even after the purchase, the company was still there. Simply a different level.“

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Germans allowed to buy real estate in Turkey?
Yes, since 2003, EU citizens and Germans have been allowed to purchase real estate in Turkey without restrictions. The right of ownership (TAPU) is legally protected and registered in the state land registry.
How legally secure is the purchase?
The purchase is processed through a Turkish notary (Tapu Müdürlüğü). The land register is official and tamper-proof. We check every TAPU in advance for encumbrances, mortgages, and ownership details.
What additional costs are involved in the purchase?
Property transfer tax (Tapu Harcı) approx. 4 % of the purchase price, notary/land registry entry approx. €500–800, sworn translator approx. €200–400, DASK mandatory insurance approx. €100–300/year — total approx. 4–6 % ancillary costs.
How does the purchase process work — step by step?
Property selection and viewing, reservation agreement with deposit, TAPU check, purchase agreement at the notary, TAPU handover and optional after-sales service including key handover.
What happens after the purchase?
We offer optional after-sales services: key management, cleaning service, rental management and handling of official mail — so that your property runs smoothly even remotely.

I have lived and worked in Turkey for over eight years—in Izmir and along the Turkish Mediterranean coast. As a licensed German-speaking real estate agent, I guide buyers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH region) from the initial consultation to the handover of the keys. Everything I write is based on real-life experiences on the ground.
