About
Kerem Ali Yörükoğlu
A senior real estate consultant with Keller Williams, working across Zekeriyaköy, Sarıyer and the surrounding villages for more than ten years. My focus is the area's luxury villa segment, its gated communities and the needs of international buyers: more than 250 completed transactions, an average negotiated saving of 12% and a median time to sale of 90 days.
Every client receives a comparative market analysis (CMA), checks on title deed, occupancy permit and zoning, and representation in negotiation. For foreign nationals I manage the entire documentation process, including citizenship by investment.

I track the demographics, prices, infrastructure and investment dynamics of the area, and each month I prepare comparative market analysis reports from Central Bank data and a sample of local completed transactions.

I wish Google had 10-star rating!
I am incredibly grateful for his support and professionalism. As a foreigner with almost no Turkish language skills, I felt completely at ease thanks to his calm, clear, and caring approach. With me flying from Sydney to Istanbul for only 4 days, he went above and beyond to secure the Tapu appointment on my very first day — something that normally takes much longer. He was always responsive, even outside working hours, and handled everything with great agility and dedication. What truly stood out was his fair and balanced attitude, genuinely caring about both buyer and seller. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend him.

He is the most friendly and dedicated real estate agent I have ever met. If any of my friends are looking for a home in this area, I would highly recommend him. His excellent command of English made it easy for a foreigner like me to find a home in Türkiye without any difficulties. He is also very professional, punctual, which I truly appreciate.
