Submission declined on 24 December 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

TEKCE Global Real Estate Company

TEKCE Global Real Estate Company is an international real estate organization with a global presence. The company operates 20 offices across five countries: Spain, Turkey, Northern Cyprus, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates. Each office is directly owned and managed by TEKCE, employing over 250 multilingual real estate professionals who collectively speak more than 30 languages.

TEKCE provides end-to-end real estate services, supported by its in-house legal consultancy firm based in Spain. The firm emphasizes a customer-centric approach, offering personalized services and maintaining a commitment to transparency and ethical practices.

History

TEKCE was founded in 2004 in Antalya, Turkey, originally under the name Antalya Homes by BAYRAM TEKÇE. ^[1] Initially focused on local operations, the company expanded domestically to several cities, including Istanbul, Trabzon, Bursa, and Yalova, operating under sub-brands such as Istanbul Homes and Trabzon Homes.

Establishment and Early Expansion

In 2004, following the Turkish government's decision to permit property sales to foreigners, Bayram Tekçe leveraged his multilingual skills and professional experience to enter the real estate market. On July 12, 2004, opened a Century 21 franchise office in Adana's Mediterranean district. Recognizing the growing interest of foreign buyers in the Antalya region, Tekçe expanded operations by opening an office there, achieving profitability within two years due to competitive pricing and increasing foreign interest.

Brand Development and Market Leadership

The mid-2000s witnessed a property boom in Turkey, prompting the creation of the Antalya Homes brand. The company gained international exposure by participating in property fairs across Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, and Finland, which significantly enhanced its brand recognition among foreign buyers. By 2007, Antalya Homes had become the leading estate agent in the Mediterranean region of Turkey, attracting a diverse clientele through flexible payment plans and strategic marketing efforts.

Diversification and Resilience

To offer more affordable options to foreign buyers, Antalya Homes initiated its construction projects in the Belek and Konyaaltı districts, selling many units during the off-plan or construction phases. Despite the global financial crisis in 2008, the company fulfilled its commitments by delivering title deeds and keys to all owners on time. Its adaptability and diverse customer base enabled Antalya Homes to navigate the economic downturn successfully.

Digital Presence and International Recognition

Embracing the digital transformation, Antalya Homes launched a multilingual website, which quickly became a top performer on Google for the Antalya region. The company's credibility was further solidified when the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, through the American Embassy in Ankara, recognized it as a reliable estate agent in Turkey.

Strategic Expansion and Innovation

Antalya Homes continued its expansion by opening additional offices in Konyaaltı, Alanya, Trabzon, and Istanbul, each staffed with local experts to provide in-depth regional knowledge. In September 2019, under Tekçe's leadership, the company facilitated one of the world's first property sales using cryptocurrency, accepting payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple, thereby positioning itself at the forefront of real estate innovation.^[2]

Global Reach and Corporate Evolution

In line with its globalization strategy, the company established Tekce Overseas SA in Spain, operating under the brand Spain Homes ^[3], to serve international real estate markets. The corporate name was changed from Antalya Homes Emlak AŞ to Tekce Overseas Gayrimenkul AŞ to reflect its international presence. ^[4] Further expansion included new offices in Ankara, Belek, Bodrum, and Girne in North Cyprus, as well as in Mersin and Fethiye, extending its reach across Turkey and the Mediterranean region.

Industry Leadership and Advocacy

Demonstrating industry leadership, Bayram Tekçe played a pivotal role in establishing the Real Estate Export Committee under the Association of Real Estate and Real Estate Investment Companies (GYODER) and co-founding the Real Estate International Promotion Association (GİGDER) ^[5], aiming to enhance Turkey's real estate export potential. As of 2023, Tekçe serves as the Chairman of GİGDER, contributing to the development of sustainable policies in the real estate sector.

Recent Developments

Continuing its global expansion, Tekce Overseas opened offices in Dubai and Stockholm, Sweden, offering exclusive investment opportunities to international clients. The company also launched Tekcevisa.com ^[6], providing comprehensive legal consultancy services for global relocation and investment. In 2023, the company further expanded its presence in Turkey by opening an office in İzmir, aiming to offer professional services and exclusive property options in the Aegean region.

Antalya Homes' trajectory from a local real estate office to an international company underscores its adaptability, innovative approach, and commitment to customer service in the dynamic real estate market.^[7]

Business Model and Services

TEKCE emphasizes direct communication with buyers and sellers, eliminating intermediaries to provide accurate property valuations and upholds its "Best Price Guarantee" policy. The company conducts rigorous due diligence on property listings, ensuring up-to-date pricing and accurate descriptions, supported by professional photography and multilingual marketing across 12 languages.

TEKCE also offers after-sales services, aiming to achieve "100% customer happiness." This approach has contributed to the company's growth through positive reviews and client referrals.

In addition to traditional real estate transactions, TEKCE provides legal support through its in-house consultancy and facilitates real estate investments via its construction arms, FenTek and Tekce Developments. The company also manages a regulated real estate investment fund, specializing in high-potential land acquisitions.

Global Presence

TEKCE operates in five countries, with key offices in:

• Turkey: Antalya (Lara, Konyaaltı, Döşemealtı, Belek, Alanya), Istanbul (Cevizlibağ, Göztepe), Trabzon, Bursa, Yalova, Izmir, Mersin, Bodrum, and Fethiye. • Spain: Málaga and Alicante. • North Cyprus: Girne. • Sweden: Stockholm. • United Arab Emirates: Dubai. ^[8]

Investment and Development

TEKCE supports global real estate investors by providing access to profitable investment opportunities. The company develops its projects through FenTek and Tekce Developments, focusing on high-revenue properties and land development. TEKCE’s regulated investment fund targets land with high appreciation potential, appealing to a diverse range of investor needs.
