List Property on RealCapital: For Developers and Agencies
RealCapital accepts listings from owners, developers and authorized agencies. Strong submissions state who is selling, what is available and which material facts a buyer still needs to verify.
Executive summary
Professional sellers can use a profile and structured listings to present current inventory to an international online audience. Agencies and developers undergo a manual profile review; individual owners are not subject to the same verification, but must provide accurate contact details. Listings are reviewed before publication, and the current Seller Terms state a review period of up to five business days. These checks do not establish title, valuation, structural safety or transaction security.
Who can publish
Property owners
An owner may submit a property they are entitled to market and must keep identity, contact, price and availability details accurate.
Developers
A developer can present projects and units, provided development stage, expected completion, permissions and availability are described without unsupported promises.
Authorized agencies
An agency should hold documented authority to market each property and make that status clear to prospective buyers.
Registration, profile review and listing review
- Review the live seller information. Open the localized Seller Dashboard and confirm the current eligibility, terms and plan conditions.
- Create a complete profile. Use accurate legal or personal identity details and contact information. Agencies and developers currently undergo manual profile review.
- Build the listing record. Supply the required commercial, physical and legal-status information, plus images you are entitled to use.
- Submit for listing review. Current terms state that listings are reviewed before publication and refer to a period of up to five business days.
- Maintain the published record. Update price, availability, stage and contacts whenever they change.
Information every useful listing should contain
Property facts
- Location and property type
- Current price and currency
- Gross and net size where applicable
- Unit mix, floor and relevant dimensions
Status and documentation
- Development or completion status
- Expected completion date where relevant
- Legal and occupancy status
- Availability and any material restrictions
Presentation and contact
- Rights-cleared high-resolution images
- Natural, human-written description in the listing language
- Accurate seller or authorized-agent details
- Current email and telephone contacts
Listing-quality checklist
- Confirm the price and availability immediately before publication and whenever a buyer makes contact.
- Use high-resolution images for which the seller holds the necessary rights; do not reuse another listing’s media.
- Give complete dimensions and unit data, making clear how measurements are defined.
- State the exact project stage and a documented expected completion date rather than an unqualified promise.
- Disclose known fees, financing conditions and restrictions in terms readers can understand.
- Describe legal, occupancy and construction status accurately and identify facts that remain to be confirmed.
- Write natural descriptions for the intended language audience; avoid keyword lists and unsupported superlatives.
For wider context, use the buyer and seller due-diligence checklists and the dated current-market snapshot. Market statistics should inform presentation, not be turned into promised returns.
2016–2026 inventory lessons
What ten years of market data means for inventory presentation
Türkiye’s property market did not follow one continuous trend between 2016 and 2026. The period moved through pre-currency-shock conditions, currency and financing adjustment, a credit-sensitive 2020 surge, high nominal growth and inflation in 2021–2022, tighter and earthquake-affected conditions in 2023, renewed domestic volume in 2024–2025 and a mixed 2026 year-to-date picture. A listing written for one regime can become misleading in the next even when the building itself has not changed.
The latest complete year illustrates why composition matters. TURKSTAT reported 1,688,910 home sales in 2025, up 14.3% from 2024. Mortgaged sales rose 49.3% but represented 14.0% of total sales; foreign-buyer sales declined to 21,534, or 1.3% of the total. In January–June 2026, total sales fell 3.1% year on year while mortgaged sales increased 32.2% and foreign-buyer sales fell 9.2%. In July, the national RPPI rose 25.0% nominally but fell 5.1% in real terms. Sources: TURKSTAT December 2025 sales, TURKSTAT June 2026 sales and CBRT July 2026 RPPI; checked 25 August 2026.
| Market period | Analytical lesson | Inventory presentation rule |
|---|---|---|
| 2016–2017 | Earlier transaction conditions preceded later currency and financing adjustment. | Date every comparable and commercial claim. Do not use an old transaction environment as a timeless price anchor. |
| 2018–2019 | Currency, borrowing conditions and transaction volume can shift together. | State the exact asking-price currency and the date it was confirmed. Do not imply that a TRY price has a fixed EUR or USD equivalent. |
| 2020 | Transaction activity proved sensitive to credit conditions. | Describe any seller financing or payment plan with current terms and eligibility; do not present a temporary market-wide credit effect as permanent demand for one unit. |
| 2021–2022 | High nominal growth, inflation and peak foreign-buyer volumes did not represent the same thing. | Do not turn nominal TRY growth or an earlier foreign-buyer peak into a promised real return, international audience or sale. |
| 2023 | Tighter conditions and earthquake context increased the importance of property-level evidence. | State construction, legal-use and occupancy status precisely and separate hazard-map context from building-specific engineering evidence. |
| 2024–2025 | Domestic sales recovered while the foreign-sales share weakened. | Prepare accurate multilingual information, but do not describe translation or marketplace publication as evidence of foreign demand. |
| 2026 year to date | Total sales, mortgage activity, foreign-buyer activity and real price change point in different directions. | Use current unit-level facts and local comparables; do not label the whole market simply “rising” or “falling” from one indicator. |
Operational rules for price, availability and status
Price and currency
Store one current asking price, its currency and the date confirmed by the authorized seller. Change every language version together. A converted display value must be dated and labelled as indicative rather than fixed.
Availability by unit
Give every unit or property a stable identifier and one current status: available, reserved, under offer, sold or withdrawn. Do not leave a unit marked available when the seller cannot reconfirm it.
Project and legal status
Separate completed facts from expected milestones. Update construction stage, expected completion, legal-use and occupancy information when supporting records or circumstances change; never turn an expected date into a guarantee.
Terms and authority
Keep fees, payment plans, financing conditions, restrictions, seller identity, marketing authority and contact details synchronized with the live listing. Refer regulated questions to qualified professionals.
Update triggers
- Before submission: reconfirm price, currency, unit identifier, availability, seller authority, project stage, expected completion, fees, restrictions and contacts against the current seller record.
- When a reservation, offer, sale, withdrawal or cancellation occurs: change the unit status promptly in every published language and remove it from available inventory where appropriate.
- When price, currency, fees, financing or payment terms change: replace the old terms across all versions before quoting the listing to a new contact; keep an internal record of the previous value and change date.
- When construction or documentation changes: update the stage, expected date, permit, legal-use or occupancy statement and identify any item still awaiting confirmation.
- Before replying to an enquiry: reconfirm price, availability, contact details and authority. The listing-review date is not proof that these facts remain current.
- When a record can no longer be verified: withdraw it rather than leave stale inventory live or duplicate it as a new listing.
Maintain a simple change log containing the unit identifier, field changed, old and new value, time of confirmation and responsible contact. This supports consistent updates across languages and reduces the risk that a buyer sees a current price on one page and an obsolete status on another.
Direct communication, separate transaction
Seller contact details are displayed so prospective buyers can communicate directly by email or phone. Once contact is made, the parties and their independent advisers handle questions, negotiation, contracts, title transfer and payment.
RealCapital does not process the subsequent property sale, contracts, negotiations or property payments. A listing is not a substitute for land-registry, permit, identity, authority, valuation, technical, insurance, tax or legal verification.
Prepare your inventory, then review the live terms
Current plans cover individual and professional inventory. Terms, features, taxes and prices may change.
