Experience and Joy
We spent years learning all the details of buying real estate in Brazil, so you don’t have to. We have been in your shoes, and we can be your boots on the ground.
Real estate transactions here might be quite different than what you’re used to; there are a number of issues that you can run into, and we know about them. We’ll keep you out of pitfalls and make sure nothing is missed.
Our goal is to negotiate the transaction expertly, causing your real estate purchase to cost less, which may even pay for our fee.
What makes us different
The combination: Two real estate experts. Assur, a local Brazilian entrepreneur and real estate agent who wants to showcase his country to the world, PLUS Jeffrey, an immigrant real estate agent from the United States who wants to share the experience of multiple residencies.
Why buy Real Estate in Brazil?
REAL ESTATE INVESTOR VISA
MORE HOUSE FOR YOUR MONEY
MORE HOUSE FOR YOUR MONEY
When Americans buy real estate in the United States, they get a deed to the property. But when Americans buy real estate in Brazil, they get a deed to the property AND residency cards for the whole family.

MORE HOUSE FOR YOUR MONEY
You can buy way more house in great locations in Brazil than you can in great locations in the United States. Just an example: You can buy a 3 bedroom, brand new house, with more than 2500 square feet, near the beach, for about 600k. We'll show you.
TROPICAL LIFE STYLE
MORE HOUSE FOR YOUR MONEY
TROPICAL LIFE STYLE
Brazil is a large country and there's a spot here for everyone. Beaches, dunes, forest, mountains, rivers, you pick. It's big enough north to south that some areas are hot and Caribbean, while others are cool and temperate.
SAFER THAN EVER
MAKE NEW FRIENDS
TROPICAL LIFE STYLE
Brazil is lowering crime rates. Best in 20 years. Also some cities, like Florianópolis (the capital of Santa Catarina State), have crime rates similar to many more developed countries and lower crime rates than many cities in the United States.

Is Brazil right for you?
It’s safer here than ever before. Safer than many places in the United States.
It’s far out of the way
- South America is out of sight and out of mind
- Brazil is the most out of sight country in S. America (because of Portuguese)
- Brazil doesn’t play ball with the western world
- And yet, no one is unhappy with the Brazilians
All the necessities are produced here
- Food ✅
- Water ✅
- Energy ✅
- Brazil imports goods, but doesn’t rely on them
It’s HUGE

- Further south to north than the distance from Brazil to Canada
- Multiple climates, cultures, foods, things to do and see
- The population is so big that Portuguese is the most spoken language in South America
- The people are so diverse, you won't even look out of place
Good For Business
- Brazil has a huge population of talent that’s looking for utilization
- Western time zone, 1 hour ahead of eastern standard time
- The culture is different, but familiar
The Food is AMAZING!
- Fresh, Natural, and Plentiful
- Wild fish that isn't expensive
- The surf and the turf are the same price!
- Learn to cook Churrasco (way better than BBQ)
- Learn the different cuts of meat
- Enjoy feijoada once a week!
The timezone doesn’t change, but the seasons do!
- The real snowbirds go all the way
- When it’s hot in North America, it’s nice and cool in south Brazil
- There are completely different stars in the sky!
FUN FACTS
- You don’t have to drive a manual transmission car, but you can!
- You can buy an old style Toyota Hilux truck. Like the one from Top Gear!
- Not a police state: Getting pulled over by the cops isn’t really a thing (they have speed bumps instead)
- Different options are available over the counter at the drugstore
- The coldest winds blow up from the south….
- Spring time, in October
Brazil VS the rest of Latin American
MEXICO
ARGENTINA

COLOMBIA
ARGENTINA
COLOMBIA
- Also less diverse
- The whole country is near the equator
- Spanish speaking
ARGENTINA
ARGENTINA
ARGENTINA
- There are restrictions on passing naturalized Argentinian citizenship to future children
- Argentines do have access to the U.S. E2 business visa
- But less economically stable
- Spanish speaking
CHILE
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
ARGENTINA
- Chileans have visa free access to the U.S.

- Spanish speaking
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
- You can get a Caribbean passport really fast!
- But real estate for the purpose of second citizenship isn't a good deal here. Citizenship by donation is financially preferable in the Caribbean.
- Having access to Caricom doesn't create as many opportunities as having access to Mercosul

Brazil is the biggest and wealthiest country in Latin America. Also, all the rest are Spanish speaking, which could be a drawback if your goal is to hide out.
