Who we are

Local expertise, international standards

Founded in 2022 and based in Sisli, Istanbul, Bosphorus Brokers was created to give foreign buyers something the Turkish property market too often lacks: a licensed, accountable partner who speaks their language and works only in their interest.

We advise on residential and commercial property across Istanbul and Turkey's most sought-after regions - guiding clients through purchase, rental, management, renovation and Turkish citizenship by investment. Every step is handled in-house by licensed professionals and vetted legal partners.

What sets us apart

Principles we work by

Licensed & accountable

We hold official Turkish real-estate brokerage license no. 3408704. Every transaction is lawful, documented and handled by authorized brokers - never unlicensed middlemen.

Multilingual by design

Our team works in English, Turkish, French, Russian, Chinese and Arabic, so nothing is lost in translation on the most important purchase of your life.

Independent advice

We represent you, not one developer. We compare projects across Istanbul and Turkey and recommend only what fits your goals, timeline and budget.

End-to-end support

From search and due diligence to title deed, citizenship and property management - one accountable team stays with you start to finish.

How we work

A clear path from first call to title deed

  1. 1

    Discovery & strategy

    We learn your goals, budget and timeline - investment, a home, or citizenship - and map the right approach.

  2. 2

    Search & due diligence

    We shortlist and view properties, verify title deeds and permits, and check developer track records before you commit.

  3. 3

    Purchase & title deed

    We negotiate, arrange your tax number and bank account, and represent you through the official TAPU title-deed transfer.

  4. 4

    Aftercare & management

    Citizenship applications, furnishing, leasing and management - we stay on long after the sale closes.

Ce que disent nos clients

I am very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge Mr. Burak has shown me. I am a first time property buyer in Turkey. Bosphorus Brokers helped me with all procedures of flat search and title deed transfer.
Elisabeth Lina R.Elisabeth Lina R.Property Purchase
They facilitated the residence purchase a lot! They look for flats according to our criteria and presented us long list of potential properties. In the end, we purchased a great flat in Sisli and we got our real estate residence permit to live in Turkey!
Salim C.Salim C.Property Purchase
Very friendly real estate advisors. They speak English, also they have a Russian-speaking translator at the office. That is why communication was super easy for me. Thanks a lot for finding a furnished flat for me in Cihangir.
