A CRECI-licensed Rio brokerage that prices your apartment honestly, presents it properly, and — if it serves you better — can run it as a serviced rental while it sells. Here is exactly what a mandate with us includes, and what it costs.
Most Rio apartments are sold by handing the keys to three or four agencies at once, each of which lists the same flat at a different price on the same portals until it goes stale. We work the opposite way: one broker, one considered price, one properly-presented campaign, and a shortlist of buyers we already know. You get the person who read your enquiry through to the closing table — CRECI-licensed, accountable, and fluent in English, Portuguese, French and Italian.
A mandate is simply the agreement that authorises us to sell your property and sets the commission. Ours is written plainly, in your language, and every line below is part of it — not an upsell. The mandate guide explains the legal mechanics (exclusive versus open, the procuração, duration) in full.
A recommended price band read by the broker himself, the same day, backed by the comparable sales that have actually closed near you in the last twelve months — CRECI-verified, not asking prices off a portal. You see the comps; the number is yours to check.
Professional photography, a clean floor plan, drone where the setting earns it, and light staging where it lifts the price. We coordinate and manage the shoot — you don't chase anyone.
We present the apartment to the buyers we already work with — quietly, off-market, if you prefer — before it ever goes wide across the portals. Off-market or full-market is your call.
We handle the viewings, qualify the buyers, and negotiate on your behalf to a signed offer, keeping you informed at every step and in no one's hands but ours.
We work with your lawyer and the notary through the escritura, the ITBI transfer tax and the capital-gains filing, so the paperwork is run for you rather than handed to you as a list.
If you brought funds in properly when you bought, we coordinate repatriating the sale proceeds at the official rate. The foreign-owner selling guide walks the whole sequence.
Because we run a managed rental portfolio as well as a sale book, you have a choice most Rio brokers can't offer. If your apartment would earn more furnished than it costs to hold, we can run it as a fully-serviced short-stay — cleaning, linens, guest management, concierge, the lot — while the sale campaign is live. The apartment carries itself instead of sitting empty and pressuring you to discount. That's the dual-track: listed for sale and let by the night in parallel, under one mandate.
The valuation and the comparables are free. There's no fee to list, and no charge for the photography or the campaign. Our commission is negotiable, agreed with you in writing before you sign anything, and paid only on a completed sale. If we run the apartment as a serviced rental as well, the management terms for that are separate and, again, set out plainly up front. You never pay us to try.
No — you choose. An exclusive gives one broker responsibility and usually a better, more coordinated campaign and a keener price; an open mandate lets several agencies list at once. We'll explain the trade-off honestly and recommend what suits your apartment, but the choice is yours. The mandate guide lays both out in full.
Nothing to list. The valuation, comparables, photography and campaign are all included at no upfront cost, and our commission is negotiable, agreed in writing before you sign, and paid only on a completed sale. You never pay us to try.
Yes. A Brazilian power of attorney lets us and your lawyer handle the deed, the ITBI and the notary on your behalf — you sign once, at a consulate or by courier. Most of our overseas owners never fly in for the sale, and we coordinate getting the proceeds home afterwards.
That depends on your apartment and your alternatives, and it's exactly the question we can answer honestly because we do both. We'll model the sell-versus-let decision on your real numbers — the same ROI sheet we use internally — and tell you which one actually serves you, rather than defaulting to the sale.
Yes, and for trophy and higher-value homes it often works best. We can take the apartment quietly to a shortlist of buyers we already know before any public listing, protecting both the price and your privacy, and widen the campaign only if it's needed.
The South Zone we know at the closing-table level: Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, Lagoa, Jardim Botânico, São Conrado and Joá, plus the wider Rio market. Start from your neighbourhood — for example sell in Ipanema or sell in Copacabana — or just send us the building.
Send the building and the unit. Charlie reads it himself — the same day — with a price band, the comparable sales nearby, and the honest strategy for your asset. In English, Português, Français or Italiano.
