Buying here: the process in six steps
The mechanics are national — identical in Água Verde and in every other market on Brazilkeys. The short version:
- Get a CPF. Brazil's tax ID, required before anything. CPF guide →
- Engage an independent attorney. Non-negotiable in Curitiba — they run title and the cartório search.
- Make an offer & sign the contrato. Expect to negotiate below asking; closed sale prices in Brazil typically run a few points under list.
- Register the FX inflow. Funds wired in must be registered with the Banco Central so you can repatriate proceeds on resale.
- Sign the escritura at the cartório. Can be done remotely by power of attorney from any Brazilian consulate.
- Register ownership. The deed is only yours once registered on the matrícula. Full buying guide →
Budget 4–6% in closing costs on top of the purchase price: ITBI (2–3%), cartório registration (1–2%), attorney (1–1.5%). On a US$ 500K purchase that is roughly US$ 20K–30K. See the tax guide.
