John and I arrived in Calis on holiday with my sister and brother in law to stay at their apartment. The holiday had been arranged at the last minute – John always jokes that had he answered the telephone to his sister we would never have come to Turkey as it just wasn’t a country that he had ever had any desire to visit. (Thank God it was me who picked up the telephone!!) Within a few days however we had fallen under the spell of the beautiful scenery and charming people. We had often heard my sister and brother in law speak warmly of Cenk and Olga and the help and advice that they had received (and were continuing to receive) from them when purchasing their property. A few days into our stay Cenk was visiting a client on the complex and popped up to my sister in law’s the apartment to say hello and check that everything was OK. (This is just typical of the friendliness that Cenk and Olga extend to their clients. Unlike estate agents in the UK who seem to want to offer as little as possible for the maximum fee, Cenk and Olga see the fantastic after sales service that they provide to clients as the ‘norm’). Whilst he was there John and I took the opportunity to ask Cenk if he would be able to show us some apartments as we were interested in buying a property. (I have to say that at this point my sister in law nearly fell off her balcony in surprise. We are known to be quite cautious and not given to spur of the moment decisions, but we had both fallen in love with Calis and wanted to own our little piece of paradise.) During the next couple of days Cenk patiently took us around various properties until we found the one that suited us best. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. Cenk’s primary concern was that we were happy and confident with our purchase. As Cenk has an engineering background we were totally confident of the standard and safety of the property he was recommending. We had looked at the Diamond apartments and consequentially bought off plan at a complex built by the same company. For the next few days Cenk devoted much time and effort into making our purchase as efficient and as smooth as possible, visiting the solicitor and notary with us and helping us set up a Turkish bank account. When we returned home Cenk and Olga kept in constant touch by email, updating us on the progress of the building works by sending reports and photographs. When our apartment was finally completed Olga spent time with us helping to choose furnishings. I cannot recommend Olga and Cenk too highly. Their reputation is second to none and their professionalism and commitment to their clients is outstanding. Olga now carries out our property management and arranges our transfers and car hire and is always available to sort out any queries we might have. It is a pleasure to see them each time we visit Calis and I hope that we can count them amongst our friends. If you would like to speak to us personally, please do not hesitate to do so.
