Brazil · Real Estate Agents
An independent directory of 97 real estate brokerages across every market on Brazilkeys — São Paulo, Rio, Florianópolis, Salvador, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, the Northeast capitals, and the foreign-buyer destinations (Búzios, Trancoso, Jericoacoara). Filterable by the two things a foreign buyer actually needs: which city, and which firms operate in English.
The directory
No firm paid to be on this page and no firm is hidden if they didn't. Honest constraints are easier to see when they're side by side.
Boutique luxury · sales + STR
Leblon, Rio de Janeiro · Est. 2014
Charlie Brossard's boutique brokerage covers Rio's high-end sale market and an owner-curated rental portfolio. Bilingual contracting and a managed-rental track record make this the default introduction for non-resident buyers who want one operator for the whole stack.
Sotheby's affiliate · luxury
Leblon · also São Paulo · Est. 2015
The Sotheby's International Realty affiliate for Brazil's two largest luxury markets. Inventory is tightly curated around Leblon, Ipanema, and Jardim Botânico in Rio, plus beach destinations like Búzios. The Sotheby's network surfaces Rio listings to a global buyer base.
Forbes Global Properties + Christie's affiliate
Rua Aníbal de Mendonça 27, Ipanema · Est. 1975
Founded in 1975 and now in its second generation, Judice & Araujo joined Forbes Global Properties as the Rio affiliate in 2026 and is also a Christie's International affiliate. Their footprint is Leblon, Ipanema, Gávea, Jardim Botânico, Barra, and the mountain region (Itaipava, Petrópolis).
Boutique luxury · sales + rentals
Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro · Est. 2007
Multilingual Rio specialist running on a concierge model — sales, vacation rentals, and corporate leases under one roof. Strongest in Ipanema, Leblon, and Copacabana. Often the first call for diplomats and visiting executives who want a single point of contact.
German-French boutique
Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro · Est. 2019
A German-French agency built around Rio's expat and diplomatic market. Member of the German-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (AHK). Strongest in Ipanema, Leblon, and Copacabana, with a documented A-to-Z service for foreign buyers including renovation and resale.
Boutique luxury · sales + STR
Rio de Janeiro · Est. 2013
Twelve-plus years selling and renting beachfront mansions, prime apartments, and Búzios villas to an international clientele. The rental book is the headline; the sale side runs against the same Rio + Búzios inventory.
Boutique luxury
Rio de Janeiro · Est. 2016
Bilingual personal-brokerage practice covering all of Rio's South Zone plus Búzios. Lighter inventory than the franchise networks, but a consistent foreign-buyer reference for the high-end.
Foreign-buyer specialist
Rio + Búzios · Est. 2018
Built around the foreign beach-house buyer. Inventory leans Búzios and Rio's South Zone with content (blog + guides) aimed at North American and European investors making the first trip.
National luxury brokerage
São Paulo (Rio offices) · Est. 1975
Brazil's largest luxury full-service brokerage. The Private Brokers division is the relevant arm for foreign UHNW buyers — Rio offices cover Barra and the Zona Sul corridor. Annual sales targets above R$ 3 billion. Process is more corporate than the boutiques.
International franchise
Multiple Rio offices · Est. 1995 (Brazil)
The largest international franchise on the ground in Rio. RE/MAX HOME in Ipanema (Visconde de Pirajá 487) and RE/MAX Quartier in Recreio are the easiest doors. Inventory and English-fluency vary office-to-office; the network model is the asset — you can refer to a US agent from inside it.
National listed brokerage
Multiple Rio offices · Est. 1935 (LPS Brasil)
Publicly listed, ninety years old, the dominant launches operator in Rio. If you're targeting a new development (planta) from Cyrela, MRV, or any of the big incorporadoras, Lopes is the volume channel. English fluency is not the default — bring a bilingual buyer's agent if you need it.
National brokerage network
Multiple Rio offices · Est. 2007
Seven stores across Rio under the same brand — Tijuca, Zona Sul, Barra, Centro. Bread-and-butter brokerage volume, used for resales as much as launches. Operating arm of the publicly listed NEXPE group.
National brokerage
Av. das Américas 4201, Barra da Tijuca · Est. 1979
Long-standing Rio operator with the strongest Barra da Tijuca presence on this page and meaningful inventory in the Região dos Lagos, Costa Verde, and Serra Fluminense. Heavy on launches under construction.
Regional brokerage
Rio de Janeiro · Est. 1957
Broadest neighborhood footprint of any Rio brokerage on this list — Ipanema and Leblon to Tijuca, Méier, Barra, Recreio, Jacarepaguá, Ilha do Governador, and Niterói. Useful when you don't yet know which zone.
Property management + brokerage
Av. Rio Branco 125, Centro · Est. 1932
Brazil's largest condomínio-management firm with a brokerage arm alongside. Not the obvious first call for a high-end sale, but the one to know if you're buying into a building they administer or want the same operator for management plus the transaction.
Local boutique
Copacabana · Est. 2005
Tight Zona Sul focus across the five most-transacted Rio neighborhoods. Local price-discovery, not a luxury brand.
Regional brokerage
Tijuca · Est. 2003
The most-cited Tijuca operator and one of the few that bridges Zona Norte to Zona Sul and Barra in the same brokerage. Useful if you're comparing inland Zona Norte value plays against beachfront.
Local boutique
Recreio dos Bandeirantes · Est. 2001
Recreio dos Bandeirantes specialist. The right firm if you're targeting the quieter end of the western beach corridor rather than central Barra.
Local boutique
Barra da Tijuca · Est. 2008
Barra and Recreio houses (as opposed to apartments) — gated communities, single-family product. Smaller inventory than the franchises but tilted to what foreign buyers tend to want in the western corridor.
Local boutique · high-standard
Barra da Tijuca · Est. 2010
Higher end of the Barra and Recreio market — mansions, coberturas, and large condomínio product. The closest Barra-native equivalent to a luxury Zona Sul boutique.
Local boutique
Jardim Oceânico, Barra da Tijuca · Est. 2007
Jardim Oceânico-anchored brokerage covering the Barra–Recreio spine. Useful when you want hyperlocal price reads in one of Barra's most compressed micro-markets.

Sotheby's International Realty affiliate

Bossa Nova joined the Sotheby's International Realty network in 2015 and runs offices in both São Paulo and Rio. The São Paulo office sits on Alameda Gabriel Monteiro da Silva — the Jardins design-store strip — and the team works upscale neighborhoods plus beach and country listings through the global Sotheby's referral pipeline.
Boutique luxury · Christie's International affiliate
Avenida Nove de Julho 5017, Jardim Paulista · Est. 2002
Axpe was started in 2002 by ex-advertising partners who wanted to sell apartments and houses the same way they'd sell a magazine cover. They're the Christie's International Real Estate affiliate for São Paulo and focus on architect-designed apartments, lofts, and houses across Jardins, Vila Madalena, and the SP coast and countryside.
Full-service national brokerage · LeadingRE + Luxury Portfolio
Avenida Brasil 1064, Jardim América · Est. 1975
Founded by the Coelho da Fonseca family in 1975 and still run by them, this is one of the largest full-service brokerages in Brazil — sales, rentals, new launches, and property administration. Their Private Brokers luxury arm is the Luxury Portfolio + LeadingRE member for São Paulo, which is how foreign buyers usually find them.
National brokerage · publicly listed (B3: LPSB3)
Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima 3144, Itaim Bibi · Est. 1935
Lopes is the largest real estate brokerage in Brazil and one of the few publicly listed (B3: LPSB3). They sell new launches for nearly every major SP developer and run a separate luxury arm, LPS Luxury Properties Selection. Most listings are presented in Portuguese only, so foreign buyers usually pair them with a bilingual advisor.
Multifamily owner-operator · long-stay rentals
Jardim Paulistano, São Paulo · Est. 2015
Founded in 2015 by Jorge Felipe Lemann and Carolina Burg, JFL builds, owns, and manages high-end multifamily towers in São Paulo and rents them under the JFL Living brand. Notable buildings include JFL125 in Jardim Paulistano and VHouse on Rua Eusébio Matoso. Foreign buyers use them as a furnished long-stay option while shopping, or as a multifamily investment case study.
National brokerage network · 26-company group
Avenida Sumaré 1700, Sumaré · Est. 2006
Brasil Brokers is a publicly listed network of 26 brokerages across 16 Brazilian states. The SP unit sells new launches and resale in every segment from entry-level to luxury, with the volume that comes from 1,100+ points of sale nationwide. Useful when foreign buyers want one firm that can show them comps across multiple Brazilian cities.
International franchise
Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima 1485, Pinheiros · Est. 2012
Coldwell Banker started its Brazilian operation in 2012 and now runs franchised offices across São Paulo, Barueri, Guarulhos, Sorocaba, Campinas, and Indaiatuba. The headquarters on Faria Lima is a short walk from the major investment banks, which makes it a common first stop for relocating executives.
Global commercial real estate firm
Av. Dr. Cardoso de Melo 1460, Vila Olímpia · Est. 2014
Newmark is the global commercial real estate firm formerly known as Newmark Grubb Knight Frank; the Brazilian arm launched in São Paulo in 2014 and added a Rio office shortly after. Foreign investors use them for office, industrial, and logistics assets — not residential — and their quarterly São Paulo office market report is widely cited.
International developer-investor
São Paulo · Est. 1998
Hines has been investing and developing in Brazil since 1998 and is headquartered in São Paulo. They cover office, industrial / logistics, and the residential-for-rent ('living') segment, mainly on the institutional investor side. Foreign capital that wants Brazilian real estate exposure through a US-pedigreed sponsor usually meets Hines first.
Established Floripa brokerage · 8 offices
Centro, Florianópolis · Est. 1970
Ibagy was founded in 1970 by Ady J. Ibagy and is one of the oldest brokerages in Greater Florianópolis, with eight offices across the island and mainland (Centro, Continente, Trindade, Campeche, Norte da Ilha, Kobrasol, Palhoça, Biguaçu). Since 2023 they've refocused on sales rather than rental administration.
70-year local brokerage · sales-only since 2023
Centro, Florianópolis · Est. 1955
Brognoli was started in 1955 by attorney Thales Brognoli and is now run by his son Marcelo — making it one of the oldest names in the Florianópolis market. In 2023 they dropped rental administration to focus exclusively on buying and selling. Roughly 2,500 listings on the island at any given time, with strength in Centro and the mainland.
RE/MAX franchise · high-standard focus
Rod. José Carlos Daux 5329, Cacupé
Qualité is a RE/MAX franchise office on Rod. SC-401 in Cacupé, halfway between Centro and Jurerê. They lean upmarket — Jurerê Internacional, Cacupé, Sambaqui, Lagoa — and benefit from RE/MAX's referral network for foreign clients. A common pick for Argentine and Uruguayan buyers.
Boutique luxury · sales + new launches
Jurerê Internacional, Florianópolis
Luxury Home is the high-end arm of the Buzz Group, run from an office inside the Infinity Blue building in Jurerê Internacional. They cover Jurerê, Cacupé, Centro, Coqueiros, Campeche, Lagoa, and Trindade and run a full English-language site, which is the main reason foreign buyers use them.
Boutique luxury · Jurerê-focused
Rua das Moreias 16, Jurerê · Est. 2015
Cassaro is a small Jurerê office that specializes almost entirely in Jurerê Internacional — beachfront houses, Avenida dos Búzios apartments, and serviced land lots. Founded in 2015 and run as a tight team rather than a franchise. Useful when a buyer already knows they want Jurerê and nothing else.
Boutique luxury · north-island focus
Jurerê, Florianópolis · Est. 2022
Norden launched in 2022 and built its book around the north-island luxury segment — Jurerê Internacional, Jurerê, Cacupé, Cachoeira do Bom Jesus, Canasvieiras, plus Campeche and Lagoa da Conceição. They carry marquee launches like Oceana by Arquitectonica and Livin Jurerê Home Square.
Boutique luxury · Jurerê + Beira-Mar
Jurerê, Florianópolis
Sign Jurerê handles apartments and houses in Jurerê Internacional, plus Beira-Mar Norte, Cacupé, and João Paulo. They carry new launches like Arte Dell'Acqua near the Jurerê shoreline and run mostly off direct showings rather than open listings.
Boutique sales · mid to high-end
Florianópolis
VIVERE is a small Floripa-native shop selling mid-to-high-end houses and apartments, with a Jurerê Internacional concentration. Smaller portfolio than Buzz or Norden, but useful when a buyer wants to talk to the actual broker rather than a franchise rotation.
Lopes group affiliate · largest in Bahia
Rua Ilhéus 25, Rio Vermelho
Lopes Bahia is the local arm of Brazil's largest brokerage group, operating from Rio Vermelho and covering Salvador and the metro area. Strong on Pituba, Cabula, Cidade Jardim, Amaralina, and the secondary metro launches. Use them when a buyer wants depth on the resale market rather than just luxury.
Boutique luxury · Vitória + Horto Florestal
Horto Florestal, Salvador · Est. 2004
Run by CEO Manuella Nabuco, eXclusive Realty has been working the Salvador luxury market for about 20 years out of an office in Horto Florestal.

Boutique luxury · coastal homes
Av. Santos Dumont 6277, Lauro de Freitas
Hansen works the coastal strip just outside Salvador — Lauro de Freitas, Buraquinho, Guarajuba, and the gated communities of Alphaville Salvador and Encontro das Águas. Site is fully translated to English. Their book is mostly beachfront houses and condominium villas, and they're a common first call for European buyers looking outside the city itself.
Boutique brokerage · sales + launches
Av. Tancredo Neves 274, Caminho das Árvores · Est. 2019
Founded in 2019 by Telmo and Lilian Silva Machado, the office sits in Caminho das Árvores inside the Iguatemi business district. They cover Salvador, Lauro de Freitas, Camaçari, Buraquinho, and Alphaville Guarajuba, with a heavier weighting toward new launches than resale.
RE/MAX regional franchise · 2 offices
Barra + Pituba, Salvador
RE/MAX Silver runs two offices in Salvador — Barra and Pituba — and is part of the regional RE/MAX Grupo Bahia. The franchise structure means a foreign buyer can be handed off from their home-country RE/MAX agent directly to a Barra broker, which is the main reason to start here rather than at a one-office boutique.
Regional brokerage
Asa Sul, Brasília
Full-service Brasília brokerage with offices in Asa Sul and Águas Claras, covering sales and rentals across both Asas, both Lagos, Sudoeste, Noroeste, and Águas Claras. Reports place them among the highest-volume agencies in the Federal District for ready-to-move-in apartments, with specialist brokers assigned by neighborhood.
Regional brokerage
Asa Sul, Brasília · Est. 1999
One of the longer-running Brasília brokerages, headquartered in Asa Sul and active in resales, rentals, and Caixa-linked mortgage origination across the Federal District. Useful when a foreign buyer wants a single firm that can also walk a financing file through Caixa Econômica.
Regional brokerage
SIG, Brasília
Brasília brokerage focused on apartment sales in the Plano Piloto and Águas Claras, with a secondary office in Águas Claras itself and Lago Sul house inventory. Offers in-house photography, financing assistance, and legal review on closings.
Luxury brokerage
Brasília
Brasília luxury house specialist concentrated on the Lago Sul lake quarters (SHIS QI and QL) and the Setor de Mansões Dom Bosco. Most of their exclusive inventory is single-family homes in the seven-figure range, which is where most foreign-buyer interest in Brasília lands.
Luxury brokerage · CIPS-credentialed
Brasília
Brasília luxury brokerage that markets explicitly to cross-border buyers, with NAR Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) credentials on the team. Useful when a buyer wants someone in Brasília who already runs deals in English and is used to non-resident paperwork.

Asa Sul, Brasília
Brasília brokerage based in Asa Sul that openly lists English as a service language, covering Asa Sul, Jardim Botânico (Lago Sul), Sudoeste, and surrounding areas. Handles sales, rentals, appraisals, and condominium administration, which is useful for absentee owners.
Luxury brokerage

The dominant high-end house brokerage in Belo Horizonte's Centro-Sul, with branches in Mangabeiras, Lourdes, and Vila da Serra (Nova Lima). Strong on gated-community houses in the R$3M–R$30M range, which is where most of the city's foreign-buyer activity sits.
Regional brokerage
Sion, Belo Horizonte · Est. 1983

National brokerage (BH office)
Santa Efigênia, Belo Horizonte

Regional brokerage network
Centro, Curitiba · Est. 1969
The biggest brokerage network headquartered in Curitiba, founded in 1969 and a pioneer of real-estate franchising in Brazil. More than 100 sales and rental offices across Paraná and Santa Catarina mean a buyer can use one brand for a Curitiba apartment and a beach house in the same trip.
Developer-affiliated brokerage
Batel, Curitiba
Brokerage arm of Thá, one of the oldest construction firms in Curitiba, with its office on Avenida Nossa Senhora Aparecida in Batel. Strong on new and recently delivered apartments in Batel, the city's most traditional luxury neighborhood.
Boutique luxury brokerage
Curitiba · Est. 2018
Curitiba boutique brokerage focused only on high-standard apartments in the noble neighborhoods, led by broker Emerson Saad. Smaller curated inventory rather than a large portal, useful for a buyer who wants one broker rather than a call center.
Regional brokerage
Água Verde, Curitiba
Curitiba brokerage on Avenida República Argentina in Água Verde, with a second office on the Paraná coast at Pontal do Paraná. Useful when a buyer wants city plus beach handled by the same firm rather than two separate brokers.
Boutique brokerage
Curitiba
Smaller Curitiba advisory-style brokerage that markets itself as curatorial rather than transactional, working a tight portfolio with one-to-one client service. Useful as a counterweight to the bigger franchise networks.
Regional brokerage network
Centro Histórico, Porto Alegre · Est. 1931
The oldest and largest brokerage in southern Brazil, in business since 1931 and headquartered in Porto Alegre's Centro Histórico. Branches across Zona Sul, Zona Norte, Praia de Belas, and Menino Deus, plus condomínio administration for absentee owners.
Regional brokerage
Três Figueiras, Porto Alegre
Porto Alegre brokerage on Avenida Nilo Peçanha in Três Figueiras, strong on new-launch inventory from Cyrela and other large developers, including the Moinhos de Vento and Bela Vista premium towers. Useful when the target is a brand-new apartment rather than a resale.
Regional brokerage
Porto Alegre · Est. 1933
Porto Alegre brokerage in business since 1933, working sales, residential and commercial rentals, condomínio administration, and real-estate-linked insurance from one office. Frequently used by Rio Grande do Sul owners who want their entire property file in one place.
Neighborhood boutique brokerage
Moinhos de Vento, Porto Alegre
Smaller Porto Alegre brokerage on Rua Padre Chagas in Moinhos de Vento itself, working the surrounding high-standard neighborhoods (Auxiliadora, Mont'Serrat, Bela Vista). Useful when a buyer has narrowed to Moinhos and wants a broker walking distance from the inventory.
Luxury brokerage
Porto Alegre
Porto Alegre brokerage that positions itself exclusively in the luxury bracket, with offices linked to São Paulo and Miami. Lead broker on the Cyrela by Pininfarina launch in Bela Vista, currently the most expensive residential building in the city.
Regional brokerage
Boa Viagem, Recife
NewVille runs sales and rentals across Recife and the wider metro, from Boa Viagem and Pina down to Porto de Galinhas, Cabo de Santo Agostinho, and Olinda. Foreign buyers will find the broadest in-city neighborhood coverage of any Recife shop on this list, though all communication is in Portuguese.
Boa Viagem brokerage
Boa Viagem, Recife
Novo Recife works the Boa Viagem strip and the southern beach municipalities of Jaboatão and Cabo de Santo Agostinho, including the Porto de Galinhas approach via Ipojuca. A solid choice if you want a brokerage actually walking distance to the Boa Viagem apartments you'll be touring.
Mid-market brokerage
Boa Viagem, Recife
Moradasol is a mid-market Boa Viagem agency on Avenida Engenheiro Domingos Ferreira that handles sales, long-term rentals, financing assistance, and property management. Coverage stays mostly inside Recife and Jaboatão — Madalena, Espinheiro, Pina, Rosarinho — rather than the beach towns south of the city.
High-end brokerage
Avenida Boa Viagem, Recife
XM2 ("X Metros Quadrados") sits directly on Avenida Boa Viagem and lists higher-end apartments in Boa Viagem, Pina, Casa Forte, and Jaqueira plus second-home product in Tamandaré and Ipojuca. Useful if your budget is on the upper end of the Recife market.
Full-service brokerage
Pina, Recife · Est. 1998
Zé Maria has been operating in Recife since 1998 from the Rio Mar Trade Center in Pina and covers Boa Viagem, Torre, Parnamirim, Rosarinho, and the Alphaville Pernambuco gated developments. One of the older licensed houses in town, with sales, rentals, and corporate leasing under one roof.
High-end brokerage
Boa Viagem, Recife
Gedeão Pontes runs a high-end Boa Viagem boutique focused on the Recife luxury segment and the Alphaville Francisco Brennand gated community. The lead broker has 20+ years in the local market, so this is a good fit if you want a single-broker relationship rather than a desk of junior agents.
Foreign-buyer brokerage
Centro, Fortaleza · Est. 2003
Fortaleza Real Estate was founded in 2003 by Kaj Jensen and Ana Ceres Teixeira and has run an English-language site for foreign buyers ever since. They cover Meireles and Aldeota in the city plus the second-home markets in Cumbuco, Jericoacoara, and the Guaramiranga highlands, and walk international clients through CPF, deeds, and remittance.
Lopes franchise
Meireles, Fortaleza
Lopes Immobilis is the Fortaleza franchise of Lopes, Brazil's largest real estate network. The office sits on Rua Osvaldo Cruz in Meireles and is set up for new-development sales — useful if you want first-hand access to launch pricing on Beira Mar towers without going broker-by-broker.
Lopes franchise
Fortaleza
A separate Lopes operation in Fortaleza covering Cambeba, Aldeota, Cocó, Meireles, and the Cumbuco beach market. Same Lopes network depth on launch inventory as Lopes Immobilis, but a different team — worth pinging both and comparing what each can actually show you.
Regional brokerage
Fortaleza · Est. 2009
Fortaleza Rede Imóveis has been on the local market for 16+ years and lists mid-range and luxury inventory across Meireles, Aldeota, Cocó, Dionísio Torres, and the Eusébio/Aquiraz expansion belt. Strong on inland and suburban product, not just the beach towers.
Single-broker boutique
Ponta Negra, Natal · Est. 2014
Osvaldo Arnaboldi has been brokering in Ponta Negra for more than a decade out of a Rua Praia Rio do Fogo office. Italian surname and a client list that visibly includes European buyers, so a Portuguese-only intake doesn't necessarily mean a Portuguese-only deal in practice — worth a WhatsApp.
Foreign-buyer boutique · Pipa
Praia da Pipa, Tibau do Sul
Marta de Graglia is a Pipa-based broker (90 minutes south of Natal) who runs a bilingual Portuguese/English site and has working partnerships with agencies in Lisbon, Porto, and Cascais. Testimonials from Argentine, French, and Spanish buyers — the right call if you're looking at Pipa rather than Ponta Negra.
Pipa specialist
Praia da Pipa, Tibau do Sul
Brazil Imóveis RN has worked the Pipa market for over 20 years on Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos and explicitly serves clients in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Houses, apartments, and land in Pipa and Tibau do Sul — the practical pick alongside Marta de Graglia if you want a Pipa-side bid.
Regional brokerage
Ponta Negra, Natal
Homes Imóveis works the south-zone Natal stack — Ponta Negra, Capim Macio, Tirol, Lagoa Nova, Barro Vermelho — and extends south to Tibau do Sul and São José de Mipibu. Good range if you're undecided between a Natal apartment and a Pipa-corridor house.
Regional brokerage
Lagoa Nova, Natal
Viver Imóveis runs a digital-first operation out of Lagoa Nova covering Ponta Negra, Tirol, Petrópolis, Capim Macio, Candelária, and Neópolis. Useful if you want broad south-zone Natal inventory rather than a Ponta-Negra-only desk.
Ponta Negra brokerage
Ponta Negra, Natal
Duna is parked inside the Duna Barcane Mall on Avenida Engenheiro Roberto Freire and concentrates on higher-standard apartments in Ponta Negra itself. The narrow geographic focus is the feature — you're talking to people who only sell what's in walking distance.
Lopes franchise
Jatiúca, Maceió · Est. 2022
Lopes Maceió opened in 2022 under founders Arthur and Bruno Menezes and now runs a 40-broker team out of a Jatiúca headquarters. As the local arm of Brazil's biggest network, it's the right desk to call for launch pricing on the Pajuçara, Ponta Verde, and Jatiúca beachfront towers.
Regional brokerage
Pajuçara, Maceió
Andaza operates from the Millennium Tower in Pajuçara and lists across Maceió's beach strip — Jatiúca, Guaxuma, Ponta Verde, Cruz das Almas, Jacarecica. They also field São Paulo inventory, which is occasionally useful if you're comparing a Maceió second home against a SP investment unit.
Beachfront brokerage
Pajuçara, Maceió
Pajuçara Imóveis is a Pajuçara-headquartered shop on Rua Jangadeiros Alagoanos that focuses on the Avenida Doutor Antônio Gouveia beachfront and the Pajuçara/Ponta Verde/Jatiúca/Cruz das Almas axis. Strong on pre-launch units — ask for the planta pipeline, not just what's resale-listed.
Single-broker high-end
Jatiúca, Maceió
Caio Tenório runs a one-broker high-end practice out of the Empresarial JTR Itália in Jatiúca, covering Pajuçara, Cruz das Almas, Jatiúca, and Ponta Verde. Good if you specifically want a single relationship for a luxury purchase rather than being passed around a sales floor.
Local Búzios brokerage
Centro, Armação dos Búzios, RJ
Búzios Imobiliária works out of an office on Rua Manoel Turíbio de Farias in the Centro of Armação dos Búzios, covering houses, apartments, land, and commercial space across the peninsula. Useful as a Búzios-native option when a foreign buyer wants a broker physically based in the town rather than a Rio agency working remotely.
Local Búzios brokerage
Manguinhos, Armação dos Búzios, RJ
Imobiliária de Búzios operates from Avenida José Bento Ribeiro Dantas in Manguinhos and advertises more than 35 years on the Búzios market. Inventory spans houses, apartments, land, and pousadas across the peninsula, with in-house banking and financing support for buyers who need it.
Local Búzios brokerage
Centro, Armação dos Búzios, RJ
Nelma Imóveis covers Búzios proper with the bulk of its inventory and also lists in neighboring Cabo Frio. The office sits on Rua Luiz Joaquim Pereira in the Centro, handling sales, long-term rentals, and seasonal rentals across Armação dos Búzios.
Local Búzios brokerage
Manguinhos, Armação dos Búzios, RJ
Espaço Reis runs an 800-plus property book covering houses, apartments, land, and commercial space across Búzios, working out of the Centro Comercial do Bosque in Manguinhos. A volume option when a foreign buyer wants to scan a wide local inventory before narrowing in.
Local Búzios brokerage
Armação dos Búzios, RJ · Est. 1995
Celso Terra Imóveis has been brokering in Armação dos Búzios since 1995 under founder Celso Terra Ferreira. Inventory leans toward apartments, houses, and land for sale and rent across the peninsula, with the longest continuous track record of the Búzios-native shops.
Local Trancoso brokerage
Centro, Trancoso (Porto Seguro), BA · Est. 1992
Patrick Etheve started brokering in Trancoso in 1980 and formalized the firm in 1992, covering Trancoso, Caraíva, and the wider southern Bahia coast. The office runs in Portuguese, English, French, Italian, and Dutch, which makes it one of the most-used landing pads for European buyers chasing Quadrado-area houses and Outeiro das Brisas condo villas.
Luxury Trancoso brokerage
Trancoso (Porto Seguro), BA · Est. 2006
NIAMÃ was founded in Trancoso in 2006 by a Belgian principal and has built its book around the upper end of the local market — Terravista, Altos de Trancoso, and one-off Quadrado-area villas. The team works in five languages, which makes it a common first stop for European and Argentine buyers shopping above roughly R$5M.
Southern Bahia brokerage
Trancoso / Porto Seguro, BA · Est. 2006
Exclusive Realty Brasil was founded in 2006 by Edmond van Wijngaarden and works the whole southern Bahia coast — Belmonte down to Corumbaú — with the densest coverage around Trancoso. Dutch and English ownership makes it a natural fit for Northern European buyers looking for villas, land, or pousadas in the region.
Local Trancoso brokerage
Rua da Mata, Trancoso (Porto Seguro), BA
Imóvel Trancoso is run by broker Anderson A. Fonseca out of an office on Rua da Mata in Trancoso. Beyond sales, the firm offers formal appraisals and condominium management, which is useful for foreign buyers who plan to leave the house empty for long stretches.
Coastal Ceará brokerage
Jericoacoara, CE · Est. 2005
Prana Terras Brasileiras has worked the Jericoacoara, Preá, Lagoa do Paraíso, Tatajuba, Barrinha, and Camocim coast since 2005, founded and led by Edith Viana Dragaud. One of the few Jeri-area shops that has been around long enough to know which beachfront plots have clean title and which are stuck in the usual coastal Ceará paperwork knots.
Preá + Jericoacoara brokerage
Praia do Preá, Cruz, CE
Dias Imobiliária has been working Praia do Preá and Jericoacoara for more than ten years, with three partners covering different angles: Carlos Dias on city-hall paperwork, Alex Venturi on the legal side, and German broker Sabrina Wenzel handling foreign clients in English, German, and Portuguese. The team explicitly walks foreign buyers through visas, transfers, and documentation, which is the main hurdle in this part of Ceará.
Local Jericoacoara brokerage
