Kepez Real Estate Agent: Şeref Karaca, RE/MAX Doors

Kepez is one of Antalya's most populous and busiest residential areas. New residential complexes, urban transformation zones, older neighbourhoods and land plots all exist within the same district, so finding the right price and transacting with the right documents is especially important here. On this page I explain how I support people who want to sell, let or buy property in Kepez.

Who Will You Be Working With in Kepez?

I am Şeref Karaca, a real estate consultant with RE/MAX Doors. My office is in Altınkum, Konyaaltı, and I also work with property owners and buyers in Kepez on sales and lettings. Through the RE/MAX network I can also offer my clients access to listings in Kepez and cooperation with other consultants.

In our first conversation I explain exactly what I will do and show which comparable sales my price suggestion is based on. You can read more on the About page.

What to Watch Out for in Kepez

Big differences between areas

In Kepez, areas with a lot of new construction such as Varsak (Karşıyaka, Şelale, Ayanoğlu), Göksu and Sütçüler; neighbourhoods close to the city centre such as Fabrikalar and its surroundings; neighbourhoods known for rental demand such as Kültür, Ahatlı and Gülveren; and areas with views and lower density such as Masadağı and Çankaya trade at very different price levels. My Kepez Real Estate Guide series covers these differences in detail.

Title deed and occupancy permit in new buildings

In areas with a lot of new construction, always check whether the title deed is full condominium ownership (kat mülkiyeti) or still construction servitude (kat irtifakı), whether the building has an occupancy permit (iskân), and, when buying from a developer, the terms of the contract. These details affect both mortgage eligibility and how easy it will be to sell later.

Urban transformation zones

Urban transformation projects are under way in Kepez, most notably in the Kepez and Santral neighbourhoods. For a property in a transformation zone, entitlement, project stage and delivery schedule directly affect any decision to buy or sell, and this information should be confirmed with the municipality and relevant authorities. I cover the topic in my guide to urban transformation in Kepez.

Land and shared title deeds

In some parts of Kepez, land with shared title deeds (hisseli tapu) is common. Buying before the zoning status, the position of the co-owners and the possibility of subdivision (ifraz) are clear is risky. You can find a checklist in my Kepez land investment guide.

For Owners Who Want to Sell or Let in Kepez

• Free preliminary valuation: I assess your home by area, building age, complex facilities, floor, aspect and comparable homes nearby. You can request one on the Free Property Valuation page.
• Document preparation: Before listing, we clarify the title deed type, occupancy permit, service charges and, if relevant, urban transformation status.
• Marketing: Professional photos and video, a clear and accurate listing, property portals, social media, the RE/MAX network and my own buyer database.
• Buyer and tenant screening: I arrange viewings with suitable candidates; for lettings, we assess tenant applicants together.
• Negotiation, contract and title deed: We assess offers together, and I follow the process up to the title deed transfer or the tenancy agreement.

For Buyers Looking for a Home in Kepez

• We clarify your budget, whether you are buying to live in or to invest, and your transport and school priorities.
• Besides my own listings, I review suitable homes on the market and in the RE/MAX network to prepare a shortlist.
• We check the occupancy permit and title deed for new buildings, and building age and service charges for resale homes.
• I compare prices with similar homes and represent you in offers and negotiation.

I have collected the legal and financial checks before buying in my Kepez legal and financial checklist. You can also estimate purchase costs with the Title Deed Fee Calculator.

How We Work Together

• 1. First conversation: We discuss your goals and timeline in writing on WhatsApp or in person at the office.
• 2. Analysis: If you are selling, I see your home and prepare a valuation; if you are buying, I prepare a shortlist based on your criteria.
• 3. Plan: We agree on the asking price and marketing plan, or on the homes to view.
• 4. Viewings and feedback: I organise viewings and share the results with you.
• 5. Offer and title deed: I handle the negotiation and follow the title deed and handover stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your office is in Konyaaltı; do you also work with properties in Kepez?

Yes. I work with property owners and buyers in Kepez on sales and lettings. I come to the property for valuations and viewings.

Is it risky to buy a flat with a construction servitude title deed?

Construction servitude (kat irtifakı) is the title deed type used before a building is completed and receives its occupancy permit; on its own it is not a problem. However, you should check whether the building will receive an occupancy permit, whether it was built according to its permit and what the contract says. For a definitive legal opinion, I recommend consulting a lawyer.

Can I sell my flat in an urban transformation zone?

Yes, but buyers will ask about entitlement, project stage and delivery schedule. Documenting this information from the relevant authorities before listing builds trust and speeds up the sale.

How can I find out what my home in Kepez is worth?

Simply send me the address, size, number of rooms, floor, building age and complex facilities on WhatsApp. The preliminary valuation is free; if needed, I visit the home to refine it.

What should I do to let my property in Kepez?

You need to set the right rent, photograph the home, assess tenant applicants and prepare the contract correctly. I support you at every step; for the legal rent increase rate, you can use the Rent Increase Calculator.
