Hi, I'm Gizem!

I am a driven and passionate real estate agent, transitioning from a successful career as a licensed architect in Izmir, Turkey. My dedication and expertise have garnered significant recognition, including praise from a New York Times column for facilitating a challenging home purchase for a couple with a limited budget. Additionally, I am honored to have been awarded the 2023 San Diego Realtors Association’s '30 Under 30' Award, recognizing up and coming realtors who demonstrate leadership, success, community involvement, and professionalism, while adhering to the highest ethical standards.

My background as a licensed architect highlights my affection for functional and beautiful living spaces. This passion was ignited during my undergraduate studies, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, and has been honed over multiple years of professional experience as a licensed architect. Now, in my role as a real estate agent, I continue to apply this passion, ensuring that my clients benefit from my expertise in both design and real estate. I have also accumulated extensive industry knowledge through years of managing rental and short-term vacation properties. This diverse toolkit of expertise allows me to provide a comprehensive set of services, ensuring that my clients find the perfect home or the best investment property.

Combining my architectural education, experience, and knowledge with my real estate expertise, I aim to help many families in San Diego find their dream homes. My ultimate goal is to dispel the notion that people's chances of owning their dream home are limited by budget. With innovative ideas and creative designs, I show my clients that they can purchase their dream home within their budget. The greatest reward for me is seeing people live happily in these homes, which is the greatest source of pleasure and pride.
