The Electronic Listing Verification System (EİDS), run by the Ministry of Trade, verifies the identity of every listing publisher and their relationship to the property: owner, close relative, or a real estate business authorized via e-Devlet. The goal is to prevent fake listings and deposit fraud.
Identity verification
The advertiser's identity is confirmed via e-Devlet.
Authority verification
Your relationship to the property is verified: owner, relative, or authorized business.
A safe listing environment
Less fake-listing and fraud risk for buyers.
Social media: what is allowed, what is risky?
The rule is simple: is what you share the link of a verified listing or a listing in itself?
Allowed
- ✓ Sharing the LINK of a verified (EİDS-approved) listing, including on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
- ✓ Non-listing content: office/brand promotion, area analyses, industry news, success stories.
- ✓ General brand advertising that does not promote a specific property.
Risky
- ! Standalone listing posts with price, contact details or sale terms (image/video/text) without a verified listing link.
- ! Promoting someone else's property without a license and owner authorization.
- ! Negotiating listings via DM by sharing price/address (may qualify as a listing).
What does non-compliance cost?
The Ministry of Trade actively monitors social media posts and publishes its enforcement results. The picture for the first half of 2026:
Maximum fine per violation for sharing unverified listings (2026).
Total fines issued to 232 non-compliant businesses in the first half of 2026.
The portion applied to 136 businesses operating without an authorization certificate.
Enforcement covers platforms too: Meta (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) was also fined for allowing non-compliant listings. Figures come from the Ministry's public statements; fine amounts are updated yearly with the revaluation rate.
