Congratulations, Mrs. Ellis. In the end, the plan worked out as you wanted, and it turned out. There is a saying in our country. They asked the wolf why your neck is thick,I do everything myself, that's why my neck is thick, he replied .This example fits you very well with your courage and lifestyle. I wish you success in your new life and adventures. Goodbye.🌹🌿🐕✨👋
I'm so sorry you had such a terrible selling experience with such a terribly, entitled, person. So glad you stuck to your guns. By now you, Ken and Timo will be on the way to France. I hope your trip goes well. Best wishes to you all for the future. I will look forward to watching .
Oh, Ellis , i feel sad for you having to leave that beautiful house. I truly hope your next adventure is just as amazing. Love to you , Ken, and your little doggy. Dalyan will miss you. I can't wait for more of your wonderful videos. Please try to take care. ❤
Oh what a drama...life throws you around sometimes. But you are brave and you will make it. Wish you all the very best for the future and hope to hear soon again from you.❤
I don't know how old you are Ellis, but I suspect you are no "spring chicken", but I so admire your "bulldog" qualities. At 72 I have had to develop them too when necessary. It was a big learning curve, but necessary when you come across people who "don't play the game by the rules". So we often have to "faire le gros dos" to carry the burden, when no satisfactory compromise is possible. I too gave up everything at 62 to move to Scandinavia after over 30 years living in France. I had problems adapting here in the beginning, but I have the sanyassin lifestyle which is how it should be at my age and is what I want and there is not a day when I am not grateful for all of my life, ups and downs, yin and yang. I wish you all the best my sister and I hope to continue following you and your inspirational mind. And yes, you are an inspiration.
What a story. The drama of it all ! I feel your pain, having bought and sold a couple of times in my life. As the Brits would say - onwards and upwards. Komt goed !!!
Oh God, I couldn’t believe what you went through with the buyer 🤬My head was boiling while listening to you. She doesn’t deserve such a loving home. I hope everything goes smoothly from here on. Wishing you a wonderful 2025.
I wish you all the luck in the world Ellis. The journey you Ken and Timmo are on won't be easy. Having to vacant your home in such a short time is unfair. I wonder what is the rush for this woman? Anyroad best wishes to you and I look forward to your next video and exactly where you will be living in France.
Wow Ellis!! That must have been a roller coaster week for you both 😲!! Good for you for standing your ground, but I'm sure it wasn't easy. Wishing you, Ken, Timo all the very best in your next journey. May 2025 be good to you all and we really can't wait to follow your next adventure. Please take care. Big hugs to Timo 🐶. Sending love and all the very very best from Botswana 🇧🇼❤
Wishing a gentle farewell to your lovely home. I sense your sadness at leaving such a beautiful place, but I admire how you have stayed focused once the decision was made. Good luck with the next part of your journey. 💚🙏🏻
Glad you stood your ground ! Dont worry about the road trip. It will be fine. If something happens with the car you do have some money and can stay in a hotel and get it fixed so you can continue to France. Breath and look forward to new experience 🥰😘🥰
Watching from Australia, as an immigrant here, I understand how difficult life can be in another country, it is very difficult to do what you are doing, but you are a very capable woman. Good luck with everything, I’ve subscribed to continue along with your journey.
Fingers crossed she pays the last instalment 🤞 Bittersweet situation, l've never heard you have to leave in one week! I too am selling and slightly freaked out of where to buy next, so understand the fear of the unknown. Good luck with it all 🙏
You know? Since we have landing point in France all of that is gone. Get there first and start looking around. So get yourself a landing point. see if there is a facebook group in that place and ask for help. You will be amazed ho many nice people there are willing to help.
@ I'm British Iiving in Nice, my dilemma once l sell is should l stay or should l go. I'll probably stay in France, and yes wherever l land l attend expat Meetup. In your case a blessing you have a friend in France to start your new adventure. Bon chance.
While this has been very challenging and now behind you, look forward to the new adventures and beautiful experiences ahead. Everything works out as it should. ❤
Congratulations! I felt every minute of that explanation. I would not have dealt with it so bravely I'm sure. The stress would have done for me most certainly and I would have lost any politeness I possessed. I admire your fortitude and strength. All fingers and toes crossed for you that all goes well tomorrow and you can look forward to the coming weeks now that you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes to you and I look forward to hearing about your life's new chapter ❤
So glad for you that you managed to sell. But after all the stress and drama you probably couldn't feel the relief you expected to experience when the signing finally happened and the money was in your account. I hope you have an uneventful journey, and as a French person I would like to say "Bienvenue en France"! If you need to ask anything about the way things run here (there is a lot of admin in France), don't hesitate to ask, I will do my best to answer.
I wish you well and hope it all goes as smoothly as possible from now on. Will be sorry not to see you around anymore, had I realised the day I saw you recently what you'd gone though, i would have done more than smiled at you! I've learnt a lot from your videos over the last few years, thank you and good luck in the next chapter - I will be watching.
I hope this all completed ok. The area you live is really beautiful, even the place you parked by the office was really picturesque, google earth doesn’t do it justice! Selling your house in the current climate, providing it’s all what you want, was really good fortune. As you said in earlier vlog Turks look on these things a bit differently and self build is common, and as for a foreigner buying, well financially that doesn’t make much sense with the FX rates IMHO, although hopefully now you have sold it this will work in your favour.
You had a very hard negotiation with that buyer but at the end more or less she got convinced to pay the rest of money. It seems that The saga here has ended. Wish you the best for the next chapter in your life 😊.
Elis mim encanta seu lindo País e as pessoas também, apesar que ainda não conheço esse lugar mais mim encanta é bastante bonita. Um abraço minha flor beijos.🫂😚🌷☺️🤗🇧🇷
Gefeliciteerd en goede reis naar Frankrijk toegewenst. Ik zal je videos van Turkije missen, maar ben benieuwd naar jullie nieuwe leven in Frankrijk. Tot gauw
The world is full of arrogant & ignorant people Ellis.. you certainly could've done without that hassle but it's over 😊, time for a new adventure. I hope Ken & Timo are doing better ✌️
You are the best I feel sorry you had to live turkey did you manage to sol your house? When you will leave the country? Good luck in your future I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 I’m in uk 🇬🇧
Well, very honestly the moral of this story is , as an expat you can not call somewhere home if its not your real home, hopefully after this you will be happy in the rest of your life.
First of all, congratulations. I am very happy for you. I pray for you every day But if you are curious, how much did you sell it for, because I am thinking of moving from Istanbul to Muğla in order to calculate whether I can move?
@AtHomeInTurkey not really, anyone can open a bank account in Turkey, I have friends from the UK that do this .. Andy invested £10,000 just for 6 months to see , he will get back around £2000 and transfer back too UK.. I live here in Turkey with only £40,000 invested I live comfortably on the return every month and have done for 8 years .. Just saying.. I wish you well in your new adventure..
If you mean the exit time. Yes. But I was ready. And she thought to ask something impossible , maybe just to get me back and it was no problem to me. We where out in three days.
I lived in Istanbul for 9 years but left in 2019 because of similar problems to yours. I haven’t watched your other videos yet, and wonder where you are going now?
@ Greetings from La Gomera, Canary Islands, which is very nice and virtually tourist free - only Germans come here to go hiking. I’m Swedish. Good luck!
Stay calm and focused. She probably has seen your videos on TH-cam. She is very calculated and you WILL NEVER see the balance left in your bank account if you are stressed by the situation and sign and hand over your house. The next day she will deny anything left to pay by her and you will have a vacate the house order . You seem to be an experienced wpman. Nevertheless do't fall to sign anything in advance. Best of luck.
Awful she thought she was in a bazaar she must have watched your show and saw that you were stressful and used it to try and negotiate I’m glad you sold it hopefully you’ll find a nice place in France Bonne chance
I sometimes think the Turkish are over cautious about outsiders and don’t let people close. It may be from past experiences but it’s sad. It’s just them and that’s it. It makes one feel outsiders are not welcome.

I wish you all the best and congratulations for not thumping the obnoxious woman 😀
Thanks! I have thick skin. Grew it in my job as a prison warden
Good luck to the people of Dalyan who will have her as a neighbour 😳 Congratulations on the sale 🥳
Thanks!
You are amazing! I couldn't have negotiated with someone like that. The stress must be enormous.
It was! But hey. I worked in the prison service. Yelling and being rude does not touch me at all.
I'm so sorry you had such a terrible selling experience with such a terribly, entitled, person. So glad you stuck to your guns. By now you, Ken and Timo will be on the way to France. I hope your trip goes well. Best wishes to you all for the future. I will look forward to watching .
Great episode can’t wait for the journey to your next home
Thanks! With that car it can only become more drama haha But we will get there I am sure

At 9:35 what is subject of the image on wall mounted frame work behind you at Desk please ?
Thx
I think you mean the map of the area at the agent
@ AAaa, right okay.
What area map is it please ?
Are you still in Türkiye.
@ShemTheLawyer Must be Dalyan area
So cool to take a small ferry to the mainland!I was wondering whether you could mention the town this ferry operates in ?
Dalyan Turkey. It's across a river
Congratulations,
You are very strong x
Thank you

Thanks. Getting my men to France in one peace is the next challenge.
You are the best I feel sorry you had to live turkey did you manage to sol your house? When you will leave the country? Good luck in your future I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 I’m in uk 🇬🇧
On my way out. With the van.
Well, very honestly the moral of this story is , as an expat you can not call somewhere home if its not your real home, hopefully after this you will be happy in the rest of your life.
Pfff, wat een thriller 😨 Sterkte!
First of all, congratulations. I am very happy for you. I pray for you every day
But if you are curious, how much did you sell it for, because I am thinking of moving from Istanbul to Muğla in order to calculate whether I can move?
You better check some emlaks. My house was kind of a specialist house. But it generally starts at 300.000
Will you take advantage of the 45% interest rate in the turkish banks, you will get a great return on your sale ...
No. They only compensate inflation.
@AtHomeInTurkey not really, anyone can open a bank account in Turkey, I have friends from the UK that do this ..
Andy invested £10,000 just for 6 months to see , he will get back around £2000 and transfer back too UK..
I live here in Turkey with only £40,000 invested I live comfortably on the return every month and have done for 8 years ..
Just saying..

Should be 30 days .
If you mean the exit time. Yes. But I was ready. And she thought to ask something impossible , maybe just to get me back and it was no problem to me. We where out in three days.
I lived in Istanbul for 9 years but left in 2019 because of similar problems to yours. I haven’t watched your other videos yet, and wonder where you are going now?
Going for France first. If that works out we stay , if not try spain.

More n more disrespectful and entitled people around. But then again beautiful souls like us ❤
Awful she thought she was in a bazaar she must have watched your show and saw that you were stressful and used it to try and negotiate
I’m glad you sold it hopefully you’ll find a nice place in France
Bonne chance
Where are you going to move now?
On my way to France. From there I don't know
Zo te zien heb je dit vijf jaar of meer van je leven gekost,god wat een stress!, hoop voor julie dat de rest wat soepeler gaat!
Hahaha Never a dull moment.
Eu creio que a onde tu vive é na Alemanha, estpu certa Eliis?☺️
No, I live in Turkey
Poland is my choice If my wife weren’t Turkish I would be living there Sorry but much better place then France in my humble opinion
That might be. But i'ts so cold!
We made offer for a building in Chicago years ago she told me to f off. Month later she accepted, and all is good.
A foreign must be very careful fo invest in Turkey.When you buy everything is very expensive.When you sell extremely cheap.That is how system works
I was lucky. When I bought the land nobody wanted to live there. Plus 25 years ago turkiye was cheaper.
@ that is good I am pleased for you.Usually people lose .I personally lost money
Just forget that buyer and start looking for another My advice You don’t want to sell to problem people
Frankly, in this market I don't care who buys it. As long as they pay it's fine with me. And she did.
I sometimes think the Turkish are over cautious about outsiders and don’t let people close. It may be from past experiences but it’s sad. It’s just them and that’s it. It makes one feel outsiders are not welcome.
Most Turkish people are very warmhearted and take you in like family. Its just like everywhere in the world. There are good and bad people.
Dus je wilt nu verkopen ? ik heb wel interesse : waar kan ik bellen ?
Sorry. Verkocht
How can i find your property to buy?
Sold. Sorry
A Cat! Where would the Cat go? With you? Yes? 🥺
I will show you in the next video. But they are safe
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gidisin olsun donusun olmasin.
Very difficult to understand… did she finally pay you the rest of the money?
Yes this was on Friday. So next monday she did and we finalized the deal
@ congratulations and good luck.
Tell the agent to stop bothering you. I go after their license.
It was not the agent. He saved the day. It was the buyer that was a complete pain in the ass
Do you know how many political prisoners are in Turkey?
No. Google on it

Clearly, her rush to get you out is purely out of spite because she didn't get her way. Petty and petulant.
Sadly for her we where ready and I was happy to go. Took me three days haha
