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

If you want to sell, let or buy a home in Muratpaşa, it helps to work with someone who understands how varied the district is. The coastal neighbourhoods on the Lara side, the older residential areas in the city centre, the historic fabric of Kaleiçi and new residential complexes all sit within the same district, and each follows its own pricing logic. On this page I explain how I support property owners and buyers in Muratpaşa.

Who Will You Be Working With in Muratpaşa?

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 Muratpaşa on sales and lettings. Through the RE/MAX network I can also offer my clients access to listings in Muratpaşa and cooperation with other consultants.

In our first conversation I explain exactly what I will do, show which data my price suggestion is based on and keep you informed throughout the process. You can read more on the About page.

What Makes Muratpaşa Different?

One district, many sub-markets

Coastal neighbourhoods such as Fener, Şirinyalı, Çağlayan, Yeşilbahçe and Güzeloba; central neighbourhoods such as Kışla, Elmalı, Tahılpazarı, Bahçelievler and Yüksekalan; and family-oriented areas such as Meydankavağı, Ermenek and Güzeloluk all appeal to different buyers. In Muratpaşa the price should therefore be set by neighbourhood and even by street, not by a district average. My Muratpaşa neighbourhood guide is a good place to start.

Old and new buildings side by side

In the central neighbourhoods, buildings from different periods stand next to each other. The year the building permit was issued, the occupancy permit (iskân), whether the title deed is full condominium ownership (kat mülkiyeti) or construction servitude (kat irtifakı), and whether the building is part of an urban transformation process all directly affect both the price and how long a sale takes. Turkey's current Building Earthquake Regulation came into force on 1 January 2019, and I always take into account that buyers pay attention to building age and documents.

Kaleiçi and properties in the conservation area

Kaleiçi lies within Muratpaşa, and registered historic buildings there are subject to different rules for sale, restoration and use. My Kaleiçi property guide explains the basic checks, with sources.

A strong rental market, but details matter

Thanks to its central location, demand for rental homes in Muratpaşa is constant. Rental return, however, varies considerably with building age, service charges, furnishing and proximity to public transport. I have summarised my observations in the article on the Muratpaşa rental market.

For Owners Who Want to Sell in Muratpaşa

• Free preliminary valuation: I assess your home by neighbourhood, street, building age, floor, aspect, parking and comparable homes nearby. You can request one on the Free Property Valuation page.
• Document check: Before listing, we clarify the title deed type, occupancy permit, any outstanding service charges and, if relevant, urban transformation status.
• Marketing: Professional photos and video, a carefully written listing, property portals, social media, the RE/MAX network and my own buyer database.
• Buyer screening and negotiation: I arrange viewings with candidates whose budget and intention match, and we assess offers together.
• Title deed process: I follow everything from document preparation to the title deed transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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

Can a flat in an older building be sold?

Yes, but buyers ask more carefully about the occupancy permit, building documents and urban transformation status of older buildings. Preparing this information in advance and pricing accordingly speeds up the process.

Do you also help with historic properties in Kaleiçi?

Yes. Registered buildings require additional checks such as heritage board approvals and restrictions on use. Where a definitive legal opinion is needed, I recommend consulting a lawyer and the relevant authority.

How long does a sale take?

It depends on price, neighbourhood, condition and market conditions. It would not be honest to promise a fixed time; a realistic price and a well-prepared listing shorten the process.
