Founded in Istanbul in January 1990 by Lale Çağlar, LAMETA has been helping expatriates, diplomats, corporate professionals, and international organizations make Türkiye their home for more than thirty-five years.

From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to provide trusted guidance, personalized service, and genuine peace of mind throughout every stage of the relocation journey. Whether assisting individuals, families, or corporate clients, we believe every relocation deserves the same level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Built on the principles of integrity, discretion, and long-term relationships, LAMETA has earned the trust of generations of international clients by combining local expertise with an international perspective. Our services extend beyond finding the right property—we help our clients settle confidently into their new lives in Türkiye.

Since 2013, the company has been led by Serhan Behen, who has carried forward the vision and values established by founder Lale Çağlar while preserving LAMETA’s long-standing commitment to professionalism, reliability, and personalized service. Today, LAMETA continues to provide tailored relocation and real estate solutions for expatriates, diplomatic missions, multinational corporations, and international organizations.

The name LAMETA is inspired by the German word Lametta, meaning “a thing that shines.” For us, it symbolizes clarity, guidance, and the confidence our clients deserve when beginning a new chapter in their lives.

For more than thirty-five years, one principle has guided everything we do:

We believe relocation is about people before properties, relationships before transactions, and trust before everything else.
