What does a licensed real estate agency do in Turkey, and why is it needed?
A licensed agency (Emlak Yetki Belgesi) is authorized to officially facilitate purchase and sale transactions, conduct legal checks on the property, and liaise with the land registry, banks, and notaries. Working with an unlicensed intermediary is not protected by law: in case of fraud, the buyer is deprived of legal protection. You can verify an agencyβs license on the portal ttbs.gtb.gov.tr.
