What Happens After You Contact Us
A predictable, three-step process so you always know where things stand.
2. Discovery Call
We schedule a 20–30 minute call to ask the questions that help us build a precise brief: budget range, preferred districts, timeline, and any constraints or priorities we should know about before presenting options.
3. Personalised Proposal
Following the discovery call, you receive a written proposal outlining the service, our recommended approach, the expected timeline, and our fee structure — all in writing, before any commitment is made.
“I sent an enquiry on a Tuesday evening expecting to hear back the following week. By Wednesday morning I had a personalised response from an advisor who had clearly read what I wrote, referenced my specific neighbourhood preference, and suggested two properties I had not considered. That first interaction told me everything I needed to know about how they operate.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often before a first meeting.
Can foreigners buy property in Brazil?
Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase residential and commercial property in Brazil under the same legal framework as Brazilian citizens, with a few additional steps: obtaining a CPF (tax registration number), potentially registering a foreign capital transaction with the Central Bank (Bacen) if funds are transferred from abroad, and working with a notary accredited to handle international transactions. We guide international clients through each step and can recommend appropriate legal counsel.
What is your fee structure?
For sales and rental transactions, we charge a percentage commission agreed in writing at the start of the engagement, aligned with CRECI-CE guidelines. Valuation reports are billed at a fixed fee quoted in advance based on property type and location. Consulting engagements are priced per session or as a monthly retainer, agreed before work begins. There are no hidden charges — every element of our fee is itemised in the written proposal you receive after the discovery call.
Do you operate outside Fortaleza?
No. Our entire team and market database are specific to Fortaleza and the greater metropolitan area of Ceará. We do not take on assignments in Recife, São Paulo, or other markets. This focus is a deliberate choice — we know what we know and do not claim expertise we do not have.
How long does a typical property purchase take?
In our experience, a standard residential purchase in Fortaleza — from the first property visit to deed registration — takes between 60 and 120 days, depending on the complexity of the title, the responsiveness of the financing institution (if a mortgage is involved), and the workload at the cartório. Cash purchases with clean titles can close in as little as 30 days.
Is the valuation report accepted by Brazilian banks?
Our market valuation opinion report is widely accepted as a reference document for offer preparation, estate administration, and strategic pricing decisions. However, some Brazilian banks require a formal engineering appraisal (Laudo de Avaliação) signed by a CREA-registered engineer rather than a real estate market opinion. We are transparent about this distinction upfront and can refer you to accredited engineers in our network when a formal Laudo is required.
