The founder

An advisor, not a salesperson

Expat Turkey was founded on a simple belief: that international clients deserve a partner who represents their interests alone.

Dominique Le Doaré

A trusted guide between two cultures

For more than fifteen years, Dominique has helped European families and investors find their footing in Turkey — buying with confidence, relocating with ease, and building lasting lives in Istanbul and Bodrum.

Fluent in the expectations of international clients and deeply rooted in the realities of the Turkish market, Dominique bridges two worlds. Each engagement is personal: a small number of clients at a time, advised honestly and represented without compromise.

The result is a boutique firm where discretion, judgement and long-term relationships matter more than transactions.

How we work

Principles we hold to

i.

Your interests, only

We represent the buyer and the client — never the listing. Our advice is independent and our loyalty is undivided.

ii.

Discretion as standard

Privacy is not a feature; it is the way we work. Your plans, finances and identity remain entirely confidential.

iii.

Honesty before the sale

We will tell you when a property is wrong, when the timing is poor, and when patience will serve you better.

iv.

The whole picture

Property, residence, company and tax are considered together — because for our clients, they are never separate.
