Meet Alper Toydemir: Your Real Estate Agent
By Clementina Verge
Born in Istanbul to a Greek mother and a Turkish father, Alper Toydemir has traveled the world, but chose Litchfield County as his home—and wants to help others do the same.
A real estate agent with William Raveis Lifestyles Realty in Washington Depot, he enjoyed a long career as an executive for renowned international hotels including Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Maybourne Hotel Group, and The Peninsula Hotels.
“I successfully led sales teams and worked with C-suite level clients worldwide, and collaborated with Manhattan and Boston real estate advisors to promote specialty suites for long-term stays, which broadened my career horizons,” Toydemir explains.
“During COVID-19, I purchased a weekend house in Litchfield County, and quickly fell in love with the area as I explored every inch,” describes the now year-round Warren resident. “I’ve always admired quintessential New England houses, which remind me of the countryside in Switzerland and the UK.”
His interest and love of architecture began at a young age. “Two childhood memories stand out,” he recalls. “While driving through Paris, I asked my mom if it was a museum city due to its beauty and historical architecture. Another distinct memory is my first stay in Manhattan at The Pierre when I was ten years old. I was astonished by the architecture and quintessential hotel furnishings.”
“As an international traveler, both personally and professionally, I’ve visited every continent and experienced the cultural and architectural offerings of cities big and small. Throughout these travels, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for design and history.”
Following his 17-year-career in luxury hotel sales (where he enjoyed collaborating with real estate advisors), Toydemir began selling homes—most recently in Bethlehem and Roxbury.
Client Kathy Miller praises his kindness and expertise. “Alper was above and beyond supportive and experienced,” she recalls.
Selling her house after 40 years was more emotional than she’d anticipated, Miller confides. “It was the home where we raised our children, shared holidays with family and friends, and cared for our beloved pets. It held so many memories, and it would no longer be in our lives. When we faltered at one point, because this experience was so bittersweet, Alper supported us and let us make the best decisions.”
Toydemir understands that “selling and buying real estate is an emotional process, and it’s essential to work with a real estate advisor who is versatile in guiding clients financially.”
“When clients struggle to make decisions, it is imperative to speak their emotional language and help them navigate through those challenges,” he notes.
Up-to-date on industry standards and trends, and following real estate news closely, Toydemir feels “fortunate to work with Stacey and Pels of The Matthews Group at Raveis. They are incredible sources of information every day.”
“Don’t hesitate to sell or buy real estate,” he adds. “It’s one of the most lucrative investments globally. Whether you’re selling or buying, it’s an opportunity not only to increase your wealth, but also to create new memories and experiences for life.”
