Story
I learned to read the land in the field.
Nine years in brief: from the shop counter to the back office, and from there to my own name.
Raised in trade
Before real estate I ran my own business. I grew up knowing both sides of the counter: buying, selling, negotiating and, above all, earning trust. At some point the work grew too small for me; I was looking for a field that would bring out my potential.
Starting in the back office
I entered the industry from the operational side. My first transaction was a land sale in Altıntaş, Aksu: the very ground that is my specialty today. What I learned that day has stayed with me: this business is not about listings, it is about process.
Teaching while learning
At Tam Nokta Neo I accompanied consultant training programmes and shared what I had learned in the field under the title "Experience Sharing". My broker Hülya Tükenmez opened doors for me and for many other women; I will always remember what she gave to this profession.
From zero, under my own name
Within Choose Real Estate, together with my dear friends Hande and Can, I founded my own firm. I set aside every title and started again simply as "Leyla Yıldız": this time focused solely on investment consultancy.
The whole process, one hand
My specialty is land, revenue-sharing developments and off-plan sales: the whole journey of an investment that begins with soil and continues as a home. Almost all of my transactions run off-market. What I explain on screen and what I do in the field are the same thing: matching the right land with the right project at the right time.
"When you buy a watermelon you first say what you want: red, juicy, sweet. You discuss the price last. Investment works the same way: first the need, then the benefit, and the cost at the very end."
