Three ways to live in Pendik
Pendik runs from the Marmara shore up to the airport, so it is much bigger than most buyers expect. The trains follow the coast. Meanwhile the D-100 highway crosses the middle, and the M4 metro climbs north to Kurtköy. Therefore, pick the band that matches your day.

Buying or selling apartments in Pendik: what we do
Sell a flat
To begin with, a price grounded in comparable flats, and proper photographs. In addition, a bilingual listing that buyers abroad can follow.
Let or rent
For owners overseas, we find and vet tenants. Similarly, we find flats for people moving here for work near the airport or the shipyards.
Advice first
Ask about areas, fees or paperwork without signing up to anything. If Pendik is the wrong fit, however, we will say so.
If you are buying from outside Türkiye
In practice, the purchase follows the same five stages for almost everyone. Moreover, at each stage we sit beside you in person or on a call.
Brief us and see the shortlist
Budget, rooms, shore or Kurtköy, sea or garden. Then we send flats that fit and walk you round them on a video call or in person.
Get your tax number
You get the vergi numarası at a tax office with your passport, often within the day. It also lets you open the bank account the payment goes through.
Order the valuation
A licensed appraisal firm prices the flat. Indeed, for foreign buyers the Land Registry will not complete without this report.
Insure and transfer
Once the DASK policy is issued, you and the seller sign at the tapu office, with a sworn interpreter at your side if needed.
Settle in, or apply for residence
We hand over keys and utilities. Your deed can also back a residence permit application. For citizenship, however, you need $400,000 of property kept for three years.
The people who answer your messages
Choose someone by language and by what you are after. Above all, nobody suggests a flat they have not visited.

Apartments for sale in Pendik: quick answers
Where is Pendik, and is it part of Istanbul?
Yes. Pendik is one of Istanbul’s districts, on the Anatolian side of the Sea of Marmara. Kartal lies to the west and Tuzla to the east. In fact, it is the most populous district on that side of the city.
How far is Pendik from Sabiha Gökçen Airport?
The airport is inside the district, beyond Kurtköy. Since October 2022 the M4 metro has run from Pendik up to the terminal. At the opening, officials said the ride from Tavşantepe would take about ten minutes.
Is a Pendik apartment for sale open to foreign buyers?
Nationals of most countries may own a flat in Istanbul outright. Before the deed changes hands at the Land Registry, however, you need three things. These are a Turkish tax number, a licensed valuation of the flat and a DASK earthquake policy. We arrange each of them with you.
Will buying here give me Turkish citizenship?
Only if the property you hold is worth at least $400,000 and you keep it for three years. The deed then carries that commitment. A smaller purchase does not qualify on its own. Still, owning a home can support a residence permit application. However, no one can guarantee either decision.
Do you only show finished flats?
We work with finished flats that already have their title deed. We also work with homes still being built. For off-plan units, we first explain the builder’s schedule and what the contract says about delays.
