Foreigners can own property in Brazil outright — same title as a Brazilian. The risk isn't ownership; it's buying from the wrong seller, with the wrong checks, on the wrong documents. That's what we prevent.
Brazilian property law is genuinely friendly to foreign buyers: full freehold ownership with nothing more than a passport and a CPF number, no residency requirement, no special permits for ordinary urban property. What it is not friendly to is carelessness. Title in Brazil lives at the property registry (cartório de registro de imóveis), and what the registry says — not what the listing says, not what the broker says — is what you own.
Our core product is due diligence the Brazilian way: the registry chain (matrícula), the seller's personal and tax certificates, lawsuits that could claw the sale back (a seller's pending labor judgment can do exactly that), condominium debts that follow the unit, and municipal taxes that follow the deed. We do this before you sign anything binding — including the promessa de compra e venda that many buyers sign thinking it's "just a reservation."
Most of our buyers never set foot in Brazil for the closing. A power of attorney, properly drafted and apostilled, lets us sign the deed, pay the taxes, and register title in your name while you watch from home — with the funds flowing through the official exchange channel so the money is documented for the day you sell.
Every price is itemized like an honest receipt — our flat fee, plus each government, registry and translation charge, estimated high so the number only ever moves down. Add a package to your cart and pay online, or request a quote for anything bespoke. Only value-based taxes are billed at cost; the final fee is confirmed in your engagement letter.
Registry chain, seller certificates, lien and litigation search — a written go / no-go report in English.
POA drafting, deed signing, ITBI, and title registration in your name — without flying in.
The developer (na planta) contract reviewed and renegotiated before you sign anything binding.
All-in estimates for English-speaking service to foreigners, with every fee we can foresee rounded up. Two cases with the same label can differ in scope — your engagement letter sets the final, written fee, and lines marked “at cost” (value-based taxes like ITBI and ITCMD) are passed through with receipts. Contested or litigated matters are quoted individually, never sold off a price list.
Before you sign anything — including reservations — we review the draft and flag what binds you.
Registry, seller, debt, and litigation checks, delivered as a written go / no-go report in English.
Funds through the exchange channel, deed at the notary, ITBI paid, title registered in your name.
Registered matrícula in your name delivered with utilities, condo, and municipal registrations transferred.
