What Our Sales Service Includes

Buying property in Fortaleza involves more moving parts than many clients anticipate: municipal transfer taxes (ITBI), notarial deed registration, IPTU certificates, and — for foreign buyers — Central Bank filings. Our sales team works as your single point of coordination across all of these requirements. We begin with a structured discovery call to understand your brief, then assemble a shortlist of properties from our active portfolio and off-market network. Each shortlist entry includes a written summary of the property's legal standing, condominium fees, and any known structural considerations. We accompany you to every visit and remain present through offer, negotiation, due diligence, and deed signing.

What You Receive at Each Stage

A clear process with no ambiguous hand-offs.

Curated Shortlist

Within five business days of your discovery call, you receive a written shortlist of 4–8 properties matched to your stated brief, each with photos, floor plan, legal summary, and price commentary. No unsolicited spam — only properties that genuinely meet your criteria.

Negotiation Representation

We negotiate on your behalf using comparable sales data and local market timing intelligence. Our clients have consistently achieved between 5% and 15% below the initial asking price in the Fortaleza market, depending on property type and district.

Due Diligence Coordination

We coordinate with a certified real estate lawyer (not included in our fee, but recommended from our vetted network) to verify title, check for liens, and confirm the property's regularisation status before any funds transfer.

Deed and Handover

On deed signing day, our advisor is present at the cartório alongside you. After the keys are handed over, we offer a complimentary 30-day follow-up call to address any post-purchase administrative questions that arise.

What We Do Not Handle in the Sales Process

We are a real estate agency, not a law firm. Legal due diligence — including title searches and contract review — must be performed by a licensed lawyer, and we do not provide mortgage or financing brokerage services. Clients requiring financing are referred to our network of banking contacts, but the credit decision rests entirely with the lending institution. We also do not guarantee specific timelines for bureaucratic processes such as deed registration at the cartório, as these are subject to municipal workload.

“I was buying my first apartment in Fortaleza from abroad and was nervous about the process. Gardeningharborv provided a written summary of every property before I flew in, and when I arrived the shortlist was exactly right. We closed on a two-bedroom in Aldeota in under six weeks. The level of detail in their communication was unlike anything I had experienced with other agencies.”
