Check if a real estate developer is legit before you invest overseas.

Bektu helps foreign buyers verify if a real estate developer is legit by showing who is actually behind projects before they invest.

We map check real estate developers, projects, and the entities behind them so you can verify what's real, what's proven, and what's unclear.

How to check if a real estate developer is legit

Before investing in a property abroad, many buyers ask:

  • "Is this real estate developer legit?"
  • "Is this project real or a scam?"
  • "Can I trust this developer?"

Bektu helps answer these questions by analyzing publicly available information and showing what can be verified about a developer, their projects, and their track record.

Foreign real estate is hard to verify.

When buying property abroad, most information comes from brochures, agents, or project websites. But what's often missing:

  • Who is the legal developer?
  • Who has actually delivered projects before?
  • What entity are you contracting with?
  • Can claims be verified independently?

This creates confusion, and risk. Bektu exists to make that information visible.

We help you verify if a developer is legit.

Bektu analyzes public information to help you verify real estate developers and assess if a project is real. For each developer, we look at:

  • Legal existence and registration
  • Named individuals and accountability
  • Project and delivery history
  • External verifiability
  • Consistency across sources
  • English accessibility for foreign buyers

We then present this as a Bektu Score so you can check developer credibility at a glance.

Not a recommendation. A way to assess if a developer is legit.

The Bektu Score reflects how much a developer's claims can be:

  • Identified
  • Understood
  • Verified

…by a foreign buyer using publicly available information.

It does not mean "good" or "bad", "safe" or "unsafe". It simply shows how transparent and verifiable the information is.

Designed for people investing across borders.

Bektu is built for:

  • Buyers investing outside their home country
  • Expats and digital nomads
  • Diaspora investors
  • Anyone navigating unfamiliar real estate markets

Because the biggest challenge isn't always the property. It's knowing whether the developer is legit and who you're actually dealing with.

Projects are visible. Developers are not.

In many markets:

  • Projects are marketed heavily
  • Developers are hidden behind brands or intermediaries
  • Multiple entities are involved
  • Responsibility is unclear

Buyers end up asking:

  • "Is this legit?"
  • "Who built this?"
  • "Who do I trust?"

Bektu is built to help you verify if a developer is legit and answer those questions.

Transparency over opinion.

We don't:

  • Sell properties
  • Act as agents
  • Recommend investments

We focus on:

  • Surfacing information
  • Structuring it clearly
  • Making it verifiable

So you can make your own decision, with better context.

A global transparency layer for real estate.

Our goal is to make it normal that:

  • Developers are easy to verify
  • Claims are backed by evidence
  • Buyers understand what they're signing

Across every market.

From the founder

Bektu started from a simple observation: when buying real estate abroad, the hardest part isn't finding a property. It's understanding who is behind it.

Most platforms show listings. Very few show the entities, track record, and accountability behind them.

Bektu is built to change that.
