Purpose of the Program

The real estate sector is a locomotive sector that stimulates many sub-sectors with high added value where labor is intensive and ensures the revitalization of the economy. However, despite its strategic geographical location, a strong local industry that can provide high-quality intermediate goods, a developed infrastructure and a young population, it is clear that Turkey has a very low performance in attracting direct investments and developing its domestic market. At this point, it is important to determine risks, diversify financing opportunities, rapidly implement changes in the legislation and legal framework and to determine values ​​in accordance with international standards. The integration of capital markets and real estate markets, and real estate projects to be carried out by professional hands will contribute to the quality and planned structuring process in the sector. The importance of REITs, which will provide a solution to the informality problem with their publicly-held capital structure, transparent management and transactions and increase the capital efficiency of real estate investments by returning the funds they create to the economy, will continue to increase day by day.

In Turkey, real estate studies, marketing and valuation are given as different courses in associate degree and some undergraduate programs. Since 2002, valuation problems experienced in areas such as expropriation, sales, housing finance (mortgage), privatization, credit rating have made it necessary to make regulations in this area, and licensing studies have been initiated by the relevant institutions. However, the reason for the extremely low success rates in licensing exams is the lack of academic training in this subject. The communiqués issued by the CMB and the Banking Association on Real Estate Valuation are structuring structures that regulate the Real Estate Sector. These regulations regulating the real sector have made it necessary to complete the academic infrastructure.

Since the aim of the program is to provide participants with application skills, priority was given to the participation of experts with scientific knowledge and practical experience in real estate development in the public and private sectors.
