Tapu.com is Turkey's AI-native real estate transaction service. Not a listings portal. A service that runs the full property transaction end-to-end — from listing intake through auction-based price discovery to title transfer — with AI at the operating core and our team handling every trust-critical step. The transaction-capture thesis was
always right; that's where the value is. The economics were the problem. Tech-enabled brokerage scaled with headcount, and headcount scaled with cost. AI just solved the cost structure. Tapu.com serves three audiences: buyers (transparent pricing, verified inventory, managed closing), institutional sellers including banks, asset management companies, leasing companies, factoring companies, and foundations (turnkey portfolio liquidation with zero seller-side commission), and individual sellers (full-service transaction without the brokerage operational burden). The decade-long compounding transaction graph behind the service: 8,000+ closed transactions across 80 cities, 17 banking relationships (Turkey's largest bank-real-estate sales channel), proprietary auction-derived price discovery, and a database of 491,000 permission-based buyer profiles no classifieds platform can replicate — because they don't transact. Real estate brokerage is structurally identical to insurance brokerage, accounting, tax, audit, compliance, and healthcare administration — the AI-native services categories Y Combinator named as the 2026 frontier. It is also larger than all of them combined. Tapu.com is the live operator already running the answer.
