"Arriving in Fethiye on a glorious October afternoon, I was keen to start my quest. Having just sold up in England I had money in the bank, and forgive me for being melodramatic, but had a dream to realise. As fate would have it, the 'SunMed Homes' office was literally a hop, skip and a jump from where I was staying and so I apprehensively entered the world of overseas real estate agents. Four days, three blisters and almost two dozen other agents later.....I went back to SunMed for a chat with Claire and Nuri. Why SunMed? Many reasons, primarily gut instinct - not scientific I know, but having heard every sales patter under the sun, I realised I was never given one at SunMed. Sure, they told me about their properties, about their philosophy and dedication towards build quality, but never 'sold' to me. Instead it was more "This is us, this is what we do, go away and have a really good think, and please feel free to drop in, if you have any questions" - and I did. Other agents would show me a place, ask if I liked it, and then a long silence would occur, as if l'd say "Oh go on then", as if buying a jumper, not parting with my life savings. Well, I could go on, but a little over one year on, I have a beautiful apartment and the dream has been realised. Why Turkey? why Fethiye? just come, and all will be clear. Why 'SunMed Homes'? Sure, the build quality is first class, but that's not it - others may boast the same (and others can't!) Simply, they went the extra mile, and to me that matters. A constant stream of e-mails with the umpteenth site picture, knowing they are listening to you, not just hearing you and more importantly will act on it. And well, when my slipped disc decided to slip some more, Claire closed the office, drove me to a therapist, waited, brought me back, repeated this over three consecutive days and refused any payment. Going the extra mile? I'd say so" Mark Cooper

"Buying a property abroad can be very stressful but all these anxieties disappear when a prospective buyer seeks advice and help from Claire of 'SunMed Homes'. Claire has lived in Turkey for many years, knows the language and culture of the local people, knows the legal procedure of buying/selling properties, has dealt with people with diverse needs and backgrounds and has, above all, a personality which endears people at the first encounter and always remains a source of guidance and help after the buying process. I can only wish that prospective buyers meet Claire and see for themselves what I have experienced, that the process of buying a property there can indeed be stress-free and ultimately very satisfying."

"We first thought about buying a property abroad 18 months ago. After hours of research we decided to choose Turkey. There were several reasons but the two main ones were that Turkey is low-priced compared to most other European countries and secondly the prediction that in 2015 Turkey would be granted full EU membership status making it the ideal investment opportunity. After viewing with several estate agents during our first visit in May 2004 we met Nuri who showed us several properties including villas he had built himself. The villas stood out from the rest in terms of style, workmanship and finish, it was then the idea of land and a custom build became a real option. Things can move very quickly in Turkey especially when you have the help of someone like Nuri and his business partner Claire. Within 48hrs we'd found a plot and signed the necessary papers and flew home the proud owners of a plot of land. We were utterly besotted by the country and its people. Building started early November 2004 and over the following months we were kept informed of progress with phone-calls, e-mails and photos sent on a regular basis. We visited in February 2005 and again in May to find everything was progressing well and to plan. The villa was completed in June 2005 - on time- and far exceeded our expectations. We're absolutely thrilled with our new holiday home and are now looking for another plot in the area! We cannot believe how "easy" the whole process was made with the professional services and help from Nuri, Claire and the team at SunMed Homes" Matt & Lucy Turner

"From our first meeting with Claire and Nuri we felt complete confidence with the way they dealt with the buying of the land on our behalf and subsequent meetings with architects to draw up the plans for our villa. We were kept fully informed of progress from start to finish via e-mail, phone calls and lots of photos. The professionalism, personal approach and honesty was second to none and we are now the proud owners of a fantastic villa in Calis. We would not hesitate to recommend 'Sunmed Homes' to anyone and sincerely express our thanks and appreciation for a job well done" Martin and Gwen Cockman

Dear Claire I feel compelled to write to you and express my unreserved thanks for making the purchase of my villa in Turkey so simple and enjoyable. As an estate agent myself, I would love to be able to duplicate the assistance received from the team at Sunmed Homes, mainly Vicky, Can and yourself, but sadly the system is very different here in the UK Prior to coming to Turkey I had contacted several agents before stumbling across Sunmed Homes, and none came close to the attention, dedication to service, and honesty I received from you and your team both online and in person. The whole process was a pleasurable experience, and I felt genuinely sad when we were reaching completion. I know however that I can count all the team at Sunmed as friends now, and not just business acquaintances. I have named my villa "Villa Mutlu" which, as you know, means "Happy Villa" and that is all down to your excellent service and help throughout the buying process I would be delighted to recommend you to anyone considering purchasing in Turkey with the knowledge that they are in safe, honest and competent hands. Good luck in the future, and I look forward to seeing you on my return to Fethiye in 2008. Best regards Colin Richmond

My wife and i had been looking for a place overseas for a while, we decided to look at Turkey, i am glad we did. We contacted a company in the UK called Turkey Property UK who arranged a veiwing tour through Sunmed Homes in Fethyie, we had never been to this area before, we were not disappointed. We arrived on the Monday and Claire met us at the hotel and ran through a few things with us and left us with a portfolio of Apts anf Villas, we met up the next day and went to look at some Apts, i was probably looking for something offplan so Claire took us to to this field with a half dozen goats grazing away and explained what the development was going to look like when it was complete, Birol one of the developers was also onsite and he explained everything in detail. Gill and i went back to our hotel to discuss the way ahead, lets face it, it is a big step, we didnt sleep much that night, we met Claire the next morning and let her know that we decided to go for it, Claire then set the wheels in motion for all the legal side of it, we were more than a bit worried about the speed of which things were happening but i can now assure you that this is normal for Turkey and there is nothing to worry about. The Notary, lawers involved were very professional in the handling of out business. The building started approx Dec 05, Claire kept us uo to date and well informed with more than regular Emails and most important of all photos with progress from the foundations right up until we moved in to the Apt. We went acreoss at the start of July, a few days in a hotel then we moved into the apartment. We could not believe the standard that the Apt was finished to, fitted kitchen, marble stairs, gardens and pool area, too many things to mention,what must be mentioned is the actual standard of the building construction itself, it probably exceeds the Regs of the UK. My wife Gill and i cannot praise Claire and her staff enough for all the help that they have given us, a special mention must go to one of Claires staff, a lady called Vicky, she helped us with all our shopping and furnishings of the Apt, she was a godsend,she speaks the language well and says that her hobby is spending other peoples money. Last but not least all i can say is if you have any doubts, as you will, dont worry,just let Sunmed Homes, Claire and her staff look after you and make your dream come true as they did for us.

We were originally buying a property through a large 'reputable' company in the Fethiye area. Because of the housing market in England grinding to a halt the deal fell through. We subsequently sold our house in England and contacted Claire at Sunmed and also spoke to Debbie at Overseas Properties on a number of occasions.They couldn't have been more helpful. They arranged a viewing trip for us, the standard of which was superb and we finally bought a property through them which was far from straightforward.However, with Claire's perseverence and several thousand e mails we got there in the end! We have experienced the good and bad of the property buying rollercoaster in Turkey and can not recommend dealing with Claire and Debbie and their staff highly enough. The buying process is made easy, everything is done legally and above board and Claire's professionalism and knowledge of the market and area is outstanding. We can only hope that her company or business goes from strength to strength, they certainly deserve to! We are eternally grateful to them for making our dream come true.
