TESTIMONIALS

We thoroughly recommend the service we experienced from Lea and Soner
at Kalkan Horizon, which offered excellent value. They brought a
combination of local knowledge, expertise and calm competence to
meeting our needs. For example, they listened carefully to our wants,
e.g. preferred location, size, facilities, budget limit, and matched
appropriate properties for viewing, which made the maximum use of our
limited time. They removed much of the bureaucracy from the purchase,
keeping us informed at all times of what we needed to do and providing
direct assistance in a fuss free but supportive way. At no time were
there nasty surprises or hidden costs. Since our purchase they have
provided a great deal of help in setting up bank accounts, helping with
customs clearance on items shipped from the UK and assistance in
furnishing the property through local contacts, which has achieved
considerable savings.

" A little gem"
Just a little note to say thanks for the use of your apartment.It was so lovely and i felt it was
very much a little home from home.Having not stayed that far from town before I found the air
so much fresher and clearer and of course it was so peaceful.I am looking forward to renting
again in the near future should it be available.At this point i would like to say a big thank you
for your care and concern and making my stay a memorable one.

After visiting Kalkan September 2007 I knew it was a very special place and I wanted to purchase a property as soon as I could.
I did all my internet research and made contact with many local estate agents. A lot of properties seemed to be hosted on many sites much, as in the UK when not having a sole agent.
For months I chatted with most of them and made my intention clear that I would be visiting in March 2008 to purchase a villa. The rest is now history.
Lea and Soner from Kalkan Horizon stood out like a beacon in the night. I asked the same question to many agents prior to my visit and received replies from them all. It was the honesty of Lea and Soner at Kalkan Horizon that had my interest though.
I liked many properties, as we all do, but Lea was always quick to highlight the downside as well as the upside. I found this to be interesting and quite compelling also. Especially as the replies I got from other agents only went with the positive.
I arrived in Kalkan hoping to purchase a property. Kalkan Horizon provided us with accommodation and sorted the airport transfers. All was going to plan. I travelled with my partner as this was a joint purchase.
We were advised to bring a camera and a note book to keep track of the properties we inspected. What a godsend this advise was. The days that followed were intense and full on. So many fantastic properties to view and inspect.
My partner and I decided which property we wanted to buy by the end of day one, but went on to see others, just in case. We now proudly own Sunset Blvd, our dream home in Kalkan with views of the Mediterrean sea.
Lea and Soner negotiated with the builder and got us exactly what we wanted within the asking price. The paper work was organised. Soner took us to Kas to organise things that could not be done in Kalkan. It was like a finely oiled machine, though with a personal touch. At no time did we ever feel pressured to purchase, and the combination of Lea, from the UK, and Soner, from Turkey, made understanding each step of the purchase very easy.
Lea has aided us in furnishing the villa and took us from store to store when she felt the prices were not competitive. It was very reassuring when you are a foreigner in a strange country.
And now, Sunset Blvd is ours, but this could not have been accomplished without the support of Kalkan Horizon, namely Lea and Soner.
I have no hesitation in recommending them as agents. Infact, they are the best, as our dream has been realised.
I have informed Lea to give my email address to any potential purchasers. And, I have been contacted by many on email and the telephone. A friend of mine in Harrogate meet a couple at a party and Kalkan came up. They too have now purchased via Kalkan Horizon.
My heart felt advise to anyone looking to purchase a property in Kalkan is talk to Lea and Soner first.
They are honest, considerate and above all have my complete trust. Their property management service now looks after Sunset Blvd. Our dream home in their hands. That in itself is testament to the professional but personal service offered by Kalkan Horizon.
Should we wish to contact me personally, Kalkan Horizon have my full permission to give out personal details.

We bought our property in Kalkan July 2006
Lea and Soner were wonderful through out the whole process.
As soon as we met them they made us feel welcome, we told them exactly what we were looking for and what price range we wanted to go too.
We spent the whole day with Lea and Soner and not once did we feel as if they were trying to push us into buying.
We fell in love with the second property that they showed us, and after we had seen several more they took us back to the one we loved and arranged with the owner a try before you buy, so we spent the following night in what was going to be are dream home, this was far beyond our expectations.
The following day soner got us a good deal on the property and took us to see the lawyer in Kalkan, and then took us to Kas so we could get our deposit from the bank, to give the owner.
When we got back to the UK we kept in touch via email and Lea and Soner sent us photographs of the work that was being done on the property ie New Kitchen, New bathrooms.
When we went back to Kalkan in the November to have a look at the work that had been done Lea and Soner took us Shopping for furniture and everything else we needed to kit the property out, Lea is also good with her ideas.
At the moment we feel that we do not want to rent our dream home out, but as soon as we do we know that we will put this side of things in the trust worthy hands of Lea and Soner.
Thank-You Lea and Soner for your support and help and making our dream come true.

We have no hesitation in recommending Soner and Lea of Kalkan Horizon who helped us with our apartment purchase and continue to help us as our Property Management Service.
We first approached them in May 2006 when they patiently showed us around available properties in the area even treating us to coffee at the Kulube on a Sunday morning which was wonderful. At that point we did not know what we really wanted or even if we wanted to buy but they were not pushy just gave us information and left us to decide. In October of 2006 we returned with a better idea of what we wanted and once again they patiently took us around lots of properties. Once we had settled on an apartment they helped us with many things during the sale. We made the mistake of employing a very expensive lawyer from a British company that "specialises" in purchasing abroad. When they messed up and they did despite their expensive tariff Soner and Lea sorted it out without complaining. Without them pushing it through and resolving problems I feel we probably would still be here today trying to buy it with a more expensive bill too.
They have since helped us with purchasing furniture at reduced prices and helped us employ local craftsmen to make bespoke items for our property. They are trustworthy and honest and have good local knowledge and contacts to help with all the procedures around purchasing and building of properties and of any aftercare of your investment.
Give them a try you will not be disappointed. If you want any further information I am happy for Soner and Lea to give out our email address to contact us.

I cannot thank Lea and Soner enough for their expert advice, support and guidance through the process of viewing and buying a villa in Kalkan. They listened to what we wanted, and showed us appropriate properties. They were professional and reliable at all times, and made us feel very secure and safe. They also treated us with respect and consideration at all times. Their services extended beyond simply those of an estate agent, organising cars, food, translations, they seemed to know what I needed before I did. They are a winning combination, knowing all about local issues, laws, culture, companies, services, and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying a property in Kalkan. You are in safe hands.
