Shahin Chag
CEO
The Shahin family moved to Alanya back in 1988. Even then, the father saw great potential for his family in this coastal city and, leaving behind the established life in his hometown, brought his wife and three sons to Alanya.
Shahin began his career in construction. The invaluable experience he gained during those years allows him to navigate the construction industry and provide helpful advice to buyers seeking quality real estate. Shahin then went on to work in tourism, which helped him learn several foreign languages and gain a better understanding of the culture and mentality of foreigners.
Afterwards, Shahin earned a degree in economics and opened his own real estate agency. For over 10 years, Shahin Chag has been selling and renting real estate in Alanya. His extensive experience and numerous valuable connections help him sell properties at the best prices and negotiate the most favorable terms for buyers.
Shahin successfully invests in promising projects himself and offers consulting services in this area to his clients. Local residents and Shahin's clients know him as a diligent and friendly businessman who keeps his word and consistently delivers on all his promises.
