My sister and I were tasked with selling my parents property at 8 Thomas St., Scarsdale NY. The sale was going to be challenging due to the age of the property and the condition that it was in. A neighbor suggested that we contact Tulay Erdem from the Scarsdale office of Christies International Real Estate which we did. We also contacted a few others in the area and after meeting with all of them, selected Tulay. Our selection was based not only on the reputation of Christies, but also because of her positive outlook on how best to deal with the property. As expected, there were many challenges when it came to selling the property but she was persistent and professional and did find the perfect fit and I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to list their property in the central Westchester area 2023
Tulay did a great job in selling our home. Got a buyer within weeks of listing and got $41,000 over asking. We closed in November 15th 2022. Thank you Tulay for doing a fantastic job! 2022
When we decided to list our house at 10 Pebble Beach Lane in White Plains for sale on the real estate market, it became somewhat of an emotional decision. I am the original owner of our house. I was there for the selection of features, the ground breaking and excavation, the formation of the foundation, framing, roof, sheet rock, etc. I know where every pipe and wire is located. We added various landscaping features, improvements, and solar panels. Now, 23 years later, it has become necessary to pass the baton to another family to breathe new life into this home. We needed someone to understand our attachment to the home as well as the need to package it in the best possible way.
We reached out to 3 real estate agents with familiarity regarding our development, and with considerable experience regarding the sale of high-end homes. While all three were pleasant and knowledgeable, Tulay Erdem, from Christie's in Scarsdale, easily stood out as the best person to present and sell our house. Within days of contacting her, she toured our home, offered suggestions regarding quick upgrades, was honest about possible shortcomings, and devised a plan to maximize our exposure. She brought in a skilled team to provide necessary repairs and decluttering and to stage the home in the best possible light. We discussed the most realistic price point in order to maximize both interest in the house and the sale price. She staged a magnificent open house, and within 1 week of listing, we had multiple offers including an offer that was well above our listing price.
Tulay is extremely knowledgeable, having many years of experience as a Real Estate agent. Tulay really understood and empathized with our situation and carefully walked us through the process and shared her views to maximize the sale of our home.
My wife Karen is the spiritual member of our team, and she has said, If you believe that God connects you with the right people, then allow me to say Tulay was our angel sent to help us!
Tulay has proven to be dependable and professional, and has been immediately responsive to our calls, text or emails at all hours of the day and night. There was absolutely no pressure and she always made us feel secure with any decision. Her marketing is aggressive and thorough, yet professional, and through her company, we were able to present the property on an international level.
We highly recommend Tulay to any home owner and any of our friends and family who need help with selling their home. She is truly a gem and we are glad we chose her. She is terrific at her job and it has been a pleasure to work with her on a personal level. 2022

I was looking to hire a real estate professional to sell my home in Riverdale NY and a good friend of mine recommended I hire Tulay Erdem. I am happy that I did because Tulay is knowledgeable about the market and knew what it would take to get my house sold. She was good at negotiating and working through problems that cropped up when selling my house. Working with Tulay was a great experience. She was always super responsive no matter when I reached out, and she has the experience and the temperament to help guide her customers through the process. She provided great customer service and communication throughout the entire sale process. Tulay is thorough, detailed and always has the customers best interest in mind. If you are looking for a real estate salesperson, I highly recommend you work with Tulay.
Tulay is an excellent realtor! We were stressed out with selling our Co-Op in Yonkers and looking for a single-family home at the same time. After working with another agent for 6 months and not selling our unit, we were lucky to have met Tulay. She worked hard and kept her promise of putting our unit in contract within the first month and finally sell it for top dollar. After selling our Coop, shehelped us find our dream home and we even managed to purchase it, in a competitive market. Tulay has lots of energy and experience.She is professional, honest, organized, easy to work with, and cares about her clients. Buying/selling a home can be a stressful process, but Tulay does everything she can to help make the process as smooth as possible.,I highly recommend all potential buyers and sellers to work with Tulay. 2020
When my house was for sale with a major area broker and was not sold after the contract expired, I interviewed several realtors. I was impressed with Tulay's marketing skills and her educated knowledge of the local real estate market. That combined with her internet skills and her excellent sales talent made her the preferred realtor to market my house.
Indeed she organized many open houses supported by great staging by herself, beautiful brochures and efficient internet activity reaching potential buyers in many markets. Only after two months she found a buyer that I wanted to take good care of my house in the future, a nice family with two young children. Soon afterwards we closed on the sale, making everybody happy.
Working with Tulay has been the best experience with a realtor I have ever had. She made a usually stressful process easy, seamless and even fun. She takes out the guesswork and makes things happen. She had our backs throughout the whole process and after previous horrible experiences in the housing market, she was truly a breath of fresh air. If you have the pleasure to work with her, then you are in the best hands. 2019
Tulay is truly a professional and makes the buying/selling real estate experience a real pleasure. She is consistently in contact with you throughout the process, keeping you informed of developments in the market and guiding you along the journey. I would HIGHLY recommend Tulay for any real estate needs and look forward to working with her in the future! 2019
Tulay was fantastic from the beginning. She worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for us. She was extremely attentive to both our needs and our preferences... as well as our budget parameters. She also expertly guided us through the arduous task of simultaneously purchasing one home while selling another. To top it off, she managed to sell or home in less than a month from the initial listing date, at a price well beyond our expectations. 2018
It was an absolute pleasure working with Tulay. She gave us excellent guidance and was extremely knowledge about the entire process. I was also impressed by her dedication and availability. I recommend Tulay without reservation and wouldnt hesitate to work with Tulay again. 2018
I cannot say enough good things about Tulay. Meeting her was truly a blessing! I had ZERO knowledge about buying a home (I was actually looking for a rental!). When I told Tulay that I wasn't looking to buy, she was not pushy AT ALL. She understood and suggested I speak to a mortgage consultant to see if buying was an option for me. To my amazement it was absolutely an option! Tulay was patient and SO THOROUGH in my home search. She frequently sent listings that matched what I was looking for and quickly scheduled viewings for me. She was so knowledgeable about every property she showed--CLEARLY she does her research! When we found our house, Tulay made sure everything went smoothly and was on top of EVERYTHING. She connected me to a home inspector and an amazing lawyer, and was a SHARK at negotiating the best deal for me! At one point, we thought the house would be sold to someone else for a higher price. Tulay came up with a GENIUS strategy and the next day the sellers accepted our offer! Tulay is super efficient, professional, and the nicest person. She made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend Tulay. I would refer all my friends and family to her, and would not hesitate in using her if I ever decided to leave the incredible house she helped me find. Tulay will take care of you like family--you will NOT be disappointed!!! 2018
