Aydin, Turkey, March 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Turkish real estate agency, Didim Sun Properties (DSP), has been short-listed for a second year running in the Association of International Property Professionals (AIPP) Excellence Awards. In 2010, Didim Sun Properties won the category of Best Agency (Medium). Didim Sun Properties has been short-listed again in 2011. Their competitors are two agents who sell property in Brazil.

Didim Sun Properties is an Independent Real Estate Agency that sells property in Turkey – specializing in the Didim peninsular on Turkey’s beautiful Aegean Coast but also covering select developments in the capital city of Istanbul and the popular touristic region of Bodrum.

Didim Sun Properties is owned and managed by a British Turkish husband and wife team whom both speak fluent Turkish and English having lived in and being citizens of both countries. The staff team consists purely of family members whom are committed to service excellence. Indeed it was buying clients of Didim Sun who acted as referees to the 12 person strong AIPP judging panel. Didim Sun Properties can be contacted via their Didim office or their website www.didimsun.com

The AIPP Excellence Awards
The AIPP’s annual awards look for excellence in customer service and a detailed entry process means that entrants effectively conduct a customer service ‘audit’ on their company. All AIPP members are eligible for entry. There are around 300 real estate professionals worldwide whom are approved by the AIPP.

"This was my first time as a judge on the AIPP Awards and I was impressed by how detailed the entries were and how robust the judging process proved to be,” said Nigel Lewis of Prime Location. “These awards are all about awarding overseas property professionals who are transparent, follow best practice and embrace business ethics - and the judging process reflected that."
