Orhan Demir

I was born in Ankara in 1992. Having grown up in a family of traders with a background in various sectors, I developed an entrepreneurial spirit and strategic thinking skills at an early age.

I began my studies in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering department at Şeyh Edebali University, but was forced to drop out in my fourth year due to financial difficulties. I subsequently graduated from the Department of Civil Aviation Management at Istanbul University. Studying as an Erasmus student in Latvia between 2012 and 2013 proved to be a significant turning point that shaped my international outlook. During this time, I was introduced to different cultures and, in the years that followed, travelled to 23 countries and 55 different cities, enriching both my personal and professional experience.

Between 2013 and 2019, I worked in the music industry as a musician and stage manager; this experience strengthened my skills in team management, organisation and crisis resolution.

I married my Latvian husband, who came into my life in 2013, in 2021. The bond we have formed has strengthened my professional relationships across Europe, reinforcing my vision of serving as a trusted bridge for international investors. During this period, I served as a Sales Supervisor at a Germany-based firm, playing an active role in sales management processes within the European dairy and meat markets.

I began my professional career in the property sector in 2019 at Tekçe Overseas Gayrimenkul A.Ş. Subsequently, through a partnership between Pınarlar Group Construction & CAMSAŞ and Tekçe Project Marketing Inc., I took on the roles of Head of Sales and Regional Sales Director.

During this period, I managed the sales offices, team management, pricing strategies and regional feasibility analyses for branded residential projects such as Terra Manzara, Terra Concept, Terra Icon, Terra Doğa and Sky Port. I achieved an average sales success rate of 75 per cent across these projects, helping to match thousands of homes with their owners. I also contributed to enhancing brand value by providing sales and marketing support for projects such as Sirius Modern, Sirius Town, Viva Defne, The Meidan Plaza and Kundu Kanyon.

Through my sales activities, I have helped clients from Turkey, as well as the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Latvia, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain, the USA, the United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Yemen, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq and Iran; in doing so, I have established a strong network of trust and collaboration with international investors.

By establishing the Coldwell Banker Terra office under the Coldwell Banker brand, we are creating a property brand that delivers services to international standards. Our aim is not merely to sell property; it is to build an exemplary brand culture within the sector, centred on prestige and trust, enhancing investment value through international connections, and guided by a corporate leadership philosophy.
