What our "Friends" said...

 

Julian and Ann Whitlock  ( Buyer of Tayana 55 in September 2002 )

We were looking for a specific marque of yacht and had viewed many in the USA before we found one on the Network website in Turkey which appeared exactly what we wanted and at a very competitive price. Despite being the owner of a very successful marine company with distributors around the world I have to admit to concerns about buying in Turkey as it was one country I knew little about. However Murat Toprak, the owner of Network Brokerage, on my first contact with him impressed me with his efficiency and was able to answer all my initial questions and organise a visit and preliminary survey. From our first face to face meeting I was certain that he was totally trustworthy and committed to helping us through the whole process which he did in an exemplary and friendly manner. I cannot recommend him highly enough - he made the purchase of Freewheel for our circumnavigation a real pleasure and I now consider him a very close friend.

?In 1994?, Murat helped us select and buy a gullet which became the internationally well-known Beluga One. Since then he has always been ready to help us in all our needs. Having him to call makes owning a gullet so much easier  Sir Mark and Lady Weinberg (Anouska Hempel)?

I listed my 2002 Amel Super Maramu with Murat Toprak in the fall of 2008. He developed a very professional listing with excellent photographs which he posted on his web site. During the course of the next several months Murat provided guidance  as to pricing and sales strategy. He brought me several qualified buyers

which resulted in the sale of the vessel at a good price in July, 2009.

 Murat was engaged in the process from the initial offer to the final payment. He was very knowledgeable in the paperwork needed by me and the buyer to satisfy international requirements and was available whenever needed to ensure that the sale was properly closed to the satisfaction of  the parties involved.

Murat can be trusted to work professionally and tirelessly to achieve the final result.

We wintered our Amel in Turkey for three years and sailed extensively in Greece and Turkey from 2006-2009. The Turkish people were very friendly and helpful wherever we went from Istanbul to Mamaris. We had a wonderful time sailing the coast of Turkey, enjoying the beautiful anchorages, the marinas, the incredible sightseeing as well as shopping in the stores and local markets. The marinas do good work at reasonable prices and storage rates are reasonable. Wireless Internet access is available in most marinas and mobile phone service is excellent. I even had the occasion to have a torn retina repaired at the hospital in Bodrum. It was done professionally, by an English speaking ophthalmologist and at a bargain price compared to the USA.

Cruisers should not miss the sailing and hospitality of Turkey.

Apart from having very  friendly relations with his customers, he is very well knowledged and very good in his job. After having dealt  for more than  a year with various brokers  in vain, Mr. Murat Toprak sold our boat  in a very short time and with the true market price.

Murat is a dream merchant and a good one at it. I have known him probably for over 20 years, he has sold me dreams and have helped me to sell dreams so that I can get new dreams.  I trust him.
