I relocated from Istanbul to start my first business in Chicago at 23 years old. Utilizing my knowledge of the fashion industry, I imported and sold European clothing. My business taught me how to target market and position a brand with the right audience.

While trying to find an apartment in Center City, I became frustrated with the process and decided to help streamline it by creating the company Luxury Leasing.

Following the marketing knowledge I gained at Wharton, I worked diligently to create the best personal brand then decided to open my own brokerage – the 1st Keller Williams in Philadelphia.

After achieving my goal as a broker-owner, I decided to sell KW and return to my first love, sales, and grow my team of hand-picked Realtors, The Atacan Group.
