Yes. Foreign nationals can buy and own most types of property in Brazil on the same terms as Brazilian citizens — villas, houses and apartments included. The main exceptions concern certain rural and border-zone land. To purchase, you'll need a CPF (Brazilian tax ID), which we help you obtain.
We shortlist and visit properties with you; you make an offer and sign a preliminary agreement; due diligence is carried out on title and documents; the deed (escritura pública) is signed before a notary; and the purchase is registered at the property registry (Cartório de Registro de Imóveis), which makes you the legal owner. The process typically takes between 15 days and 3 months, depending on the property and documentation. We coordinate every step.
Beyond the purchase price, plan for the property transfer tax (ITBI, which varies by municipality), notary and registration fees, and legal fees. We provide a clear, itemised estimate for each property up front.
A CPF is required to buy property and is straightforward to obtain — we assist you. A local bank account isn't strictly required to purchase, but it simplifies ongoing costs and rental income, and we can guide you through it.
Paying in foreign currency is not a problem. We set up the banking channels needed for the currency-exchange operations, whether in USD, BRL, EUR or COP. Please note that you may be asked to provide proof of the origin of funds, in line with standard compliance requirements.
For rental yield, Rio de Janeiro and Bahia's coastal regions — Trancoso among them — can be highly profitable. For a private retreat, Angra dos Reis, Praia do Espelho and the quieter beaches of Ceará and Alagoas offer space and value. Our local teams advise based on your goals.
Yes. Our concierge and management services cover rentals, maintenance and guest services, so your property is looked after whether you use it seasonally or rent it out.
