Cameron Deggin is the Founder and CEO of Property Turkey and Place Overseas. With more than two decades of experience in international real estate and investment markets, Cameron is widely regarded as a leading authority on overseas property acquisition, market strategy, and cross-border investment – particularly in Turkey and the UAE.
Combining a background in finance with deep market expertise and on-the-ground knowledge, Cameron has built a reputation for providing strategic, data-driven guidance to private investors, high-net-worth individuals, and lifestyle buyers seeking property abroad.
Finance, Strategy, and Early Career
Cameron began his professional career in finance, qualifying as a chartered certified accountant (FCCA) before completing an MBA in Marketing at Manchester Business School. He went on to spend more than a decade in financial planning and strategic roles with Fortune 100 multinational companies including Philip Morris and Honeywell International.
This corporate foundation provided a strong understanding of global markets, investment structures, and long-term strategic planning. In 2001, recognising the emerging potential of Turkey as both an investment destination and lifestyle market, Cameron left the corporate world to establish Property Turkey.
Building Property Turkey
Since founding Property Turkey, Cameron has overseen its growth from a boutique consultancy into one of the most recognised international real estate brands focused on the Turkish market. The company now serves clients from across the UK, USA, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, with offices throughout Turkey and a global client base.
As CEO, Cameron remains closely involved in strategic direction, partnerships, and market positioning. His approach centres on delivering consultative, investment-focused advice – supported by financial analysis, real market data, and long-term value planning.
His expertise spans residential homes, off-plan developments, luxury coastal properties, Real Estate Investment Funds, and Turkish Citizenship by Investment opportunities. In addition to advising clients, Cameron is also an active investor and has been involved in the design and development of property projects across Istanbul and the Turkish Riviera.
International Expansion: Place Overseas
Building on the success and reputation of Property Turkey, Cameron founded Place Overseas – a UAE-based real estate company headquartered in Dubai and focused on property opportunities within the Emirates.
Place Overseas was created to serve international buyers seeking investment and lifestyle property in Dubai and the wider UAE, offering the same research-led, consultative approach that has defined Property Turkey for over two decades. The company focuses on developer partnerships, off-plan opportunities, and strategic investment in one of the world’s fastest-growing real estate markets.
Together, the two brands operate under Cameron’s strategic leadership and direction, providing clients with a broader international perspective on real estate investment and relocation planning across Turkey and the UAE.
Market Insight and Leadership Approach
Cameron remains closely involved in the markets he operates within, travelling regularly between the UK, Turkey, and the UAE. He maintains strong relationships with developers, investors, and local partners, allowing his teams to stay closely aligned with market trends and emerging investment and property opportunities.
His leadership philosophy centres on long-term client relationships and strategic advisory rather than transactional sales. By combining financial analysis with local insight, Cameron ensures that clients receive tailored guidance designed around investment performance, lifestyle goals, and long-term value.
