Reha Medin Global

His first task was to turn the brand into a repeatable system. For twenty months a new franchise office opened every six weeks; only one applicant in forty was accepted.⁷⁸ The network reached fifty offices in 2011, fifty-three offices in fourteen cities in 2013, and sixty-four at its widest.⁹⁴ It served clients in seven languages through twenty international agencies, six offices abroad and more than 250 staff.⁵¹⁰

To train qualified people for the sector he launched the Reha Medin Real Estate School initiative in 2009, reported by Cumhuriyet, Bugün, Takvim and Dünya.¹¹ In 2011 the company set up VIP Assist, round-the-clock support for people renting or buying a home.⁸ In 2013 the network's digital franchise model went live.⁶

Automatic sharing of real estate listings between systems was started in Turkey for the first time together with sahibinden.com; the software connecting the two systems was written by hand by Reha Medin's own team.⁴

In November 2016 an agreement was reached with Atlasglobal: for the first time in Turkey an airline and a real estate company signed a joint marketing agreement. Reha Medin became the airline's exclusive broker for real estate sales abroad.¹²

Reha Medin became the first Turkish real estate company to open offices in the USA and Germany.¹³ RM USA was set up in Orlando for the American side.¹⁴

In his first year the company won the Turkish sales of the Big Old Bazaar project in Northern Cyprus; it was his first press appearance as general manager.¹⁵¹⁶

In July 2012, 21 firms bid for the sales and marketing tender of the Mashattan project in Maslak; Reha Medin won.¹⁷ The project covered 433,821 square metres with ten towers and about 1,850 homes; it was the largest sales tender of its time.⁶

Over ten years the company represented 440 branded housing projects in sales abroad and managed 23 projects exclusively.⁶

In August 2014 Dubai-based DAMAC Properties set up its Turkey headquarters in Istanbul with Reha Medin. Hürriyet Daily News and Milliyet described Tamer as "DAMAC Turkey representative and chairman of Reha Medin".¹⁸¹⁹ A 25,000-home project was presented at the launch meetings.²⁰

The same year consultancy for Japan's Sumitomo group began.²¹ Sumitomo had put Istanbul on the same shortlist as London and Los Angeles; the investment prepared with Tamer over months was about half a billion dollars.²²⁴

He turned the way brokerage works into a patent application: a digital brokerage system that brings sellers, brokers and buyers together on a closed platform of approved members. Tamer himself is the inventor and the applicant.²³

Reuters, The New York Times and Argentina's Clarín asked Tamer, as head of Reha Medin, about the Turkish housing market.²⁴²⁵ In 2011 he sat at The Business Year's real estate round table with CB Richard Ellis and Colliers International; Hürriyet Daily News wrote about him as DAMAC's Turkey representative.⁷¹⁸ His first record in the Turkish press dates from January 2009, eleven years before Turing's patent.
