Hi, I'm Anastasia
Anastasia Polevaya, real estate consultant in Turkey and Dubai.
I have been living in Antalya for five years and working with real estate for three of them. I help people find a flat to live by the sea and put capital into liquid housing in Antalya and Istanbul. I don't just pick square metres: I look for a place where you will feel good living, and I go through the risks and costs in advance.
