Sellers

Selling your home is more than posting a listing.

You deserve more than a sign outside and an ad online. Below is the route I follow to sell at the highest price, to the right buyer, in the shortest time. It's all written down so nothing is left to guesswork.

How we determine your home's value

A seller doesn't set the price alone; the meeting point between buyer and seller does. So the report is prepared through the buyer's eyes: someone deciding to buy visits 17 homes on average and knows market value better than any of us.

  1. Closed sales

    Prices of comparable homes actually sold in your area in the last 6–12 months. Not asking prices; the figures on the deed.

  2. Current competition

    Rival homes on the market now, their price per square metre and how long they have sat unsold. Buyers will compare your home with these.

  3. The home itself

    Location, condition and renovation needs, title type, occupancy permit, service charges, building age and compliance with the current earthquake code. Strengths and open questions are listed separately.

  4. Market and timing

    Supply in the area, sales velocity and economic swings. In a buyer's market (many listings, few buyers) the pricing strategy is built differently.

  5. Price band and recommendation

    You receive not one number but price bands for a sale within 0–3, 3–6 and 6–12 months, plus a recommended launch price. Our code of ethics: we never write an unrealistic value to win the listing.

What sets the price

  • Price per square metre
  • Location, view and condition
  • Properties sold in the area in the last 6 months
  • Renovation needs
  • Number of competing listings
  • Title status and occupancy permit
  • Purchase date (capital gains tax)
  • Timing: the first 30 days
  • Economic conditions

What doesn't set the price

  • What the home cost you
  • The decoration you invested in
  • The profit you'd like to make
  • What the neighbours say
  • The figure another agent quoted
  • What it would cost to build today

Understandable expectations, but they don't directly affect what a buyer will pay.

The window of opportunity: the first 30 days

A newly listed, correctly priced home gets the most attention in its first month. The first offers are usually the best ones. "Let's try high, I have time" wastes the most critical weeks.

  1. Month 1Serious buyers view, first offers arrive.
  2. Month 2Offers are evaluated, negotiation runs.
  3. Month 3Sale closes, title transfer begins.

The cost of mispricing

  • A high price attracts the wrong buyer: high expectations, disappointment, and they buy elsewhere.
  • Serious buyers don't even make an offer on a home priced far above the market; alternatives always exist.
  • The longer a home sits, the more it's asked "why hasn't it sold?" and the greater the risk of selling below value.
  • The right price attracts more buyers, sells at the top of the market and sells faster.

How I work

The points we agree on and put in writing before starting, so there are no surprises.

Mandate
I work under a written exclusive listing agreement compliant with Turkey's Real Estate Trade Regulation. Exclusivity means one price and one story for your home, without scattered listings.
Term
The agreement runs for 3 months and renews in 3-month periods unless ended in writing. The first 30 days are the most critical; the plan is built around them.
Fee
On sales the legal cap is 4% + VAT of the sale price, and who pays what is written in the agreement. Long-term rentals: one month's rent + VAT; seasonal rentals: 10% of the seasonal rent + VAT. The fee is due only when a transaction completes.
Costs
Professional photography, drone, video, listing and advertising costs are covered by me; nothing is invoiced to you separately.
Marketing plan
A plan tailored to your home is presented first and executed with your approval: the Keller Williams network (180 advisors in Bodrum, 3,600 in Turkey, 55 countries), portals, Google and Meta ads, outreach to active local agents and, where useful, international agency partnerships.
Reporting
A written report every 10 days: marketing done, viewings and buyer feedback, sent by WhatsApp and e-mail.
What I ask of you
Forward buyer enquiries you receive during the term, keep the home ready for viewings, and share documents such as title deed, occupancy permit and service-charge statements.
Ethics
KW Bodrum's rule: we never write an unrealistic value or comment to win a listing. If the timing isn't right for you, I'll say so.

About

Hande Çalışkan

I studied physics and hold a master's in spectroscopy. That's where I learned to look at data and ask the right question; since 2022 I've been doing it for real estate in Bodrum.

I work with Keller Williams Bodrum in sales, rentals and investment advisory. I've been at Capper level three years running and ranked among KW Bodrum's top 20 advisors in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. In 2024 I placed 7th among KW Türkiye's young professionals.

If the numbers say anything, it's this: a correctly priced home sells, and a well-presented home lets. My average time to transaction on sales listings is 54 days; on rentals in the 30–100k TL band, 3 days.

FAQ

Short answers.

Anything else, message me on WhatsApp.

Is the valuation report really free?

Yes. I visit the property, pull the area data and present it to you in writing. Whether you decide to sell is up to you.

Who pays the commission?

On sales the legal cap is 4% + VAT of the price; who pays what is set in the agreement before we start. Rentals: one month's rent + VAT; seasonal: 10% + VAT.

Do I have to give an exclusive mandate?

I work exclusively, because one price and one story protect your home's value and build buyer trust. The term is 3 months and the conditions are in writing.

As a buyer, do I pay you?

In buyer representation the fee is due when a transaction completes, as written in the agreement. There is no charge during search and viewings.

I'm a foreign national. Can I buy?

For most nationalities, yes. Valuation report, foreign-currency purchase certificate and military-zone check are extra steps we handle together in English.

My home is listed but not selling. What should I do?

First, let's compare the price with closed sales. Most of the time the issue is price or presentation; the report clarifies both.
