Do you want to invest in real estate in Brazil?
With Aesgaard, it is now much easier and, above all, cheaper!
Did you know that if you invest at least 700,000 Reais (125,000 USD) in real estate in northern Brazil or 1 million Reais in the rest of the country, you automatically qualify for permanent residency?
This is a very interesting option considering Brazil's role in the BRICS organization and the growth of the country's economy and influence on a global level. There are numerous real estate investment opportunities.
1) Obtaining a CPF (Cadastro de Pessoa Física): This is your Brazilian social security number. This number will be required almost everywhere you go in Brazil. It will allow you to, among other things, get a phone card, register with an electricity service provider, or open a bank account.
2) Find your dream apartment or house: For this step, we recommend enlisting the help of a licensed real estate agent to be well-informed about the different neighborhoods and the specifics of each place. Aesgaard employees are trained and registered with the relevant authorities as licensed real estate agents. We are also in contact with most of the major real estate agencies in the country, with partnerships in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and João Pessoa in the northeast of the country. We will find exactly what you are looking for — guaranteed!
3) Hire a lawyer: In Brazil, having a lawyer is almost a prerequisite. To fully understand the ins and outs of your transactions, the help of a lawyer will be necessary. Your lawyer will accompany you throughout the process of purchasing your property, ensure the legality of the transaction, verify the civil and criminal background of the individuals or entities you will be dealing with to better protect you, and ensure that your rights are respected throughout the operation.
4) Once your residence is found, you will need to send your money from abroad to Brazil: This is a crucial step in the process, where, if you are not well-informed, you might unfortunately end up paying much more than you should. Banks love to dip into your money, either as a percentage during the conversion of your dollars or euros into Brazilian Reais or in various fees. We have seen a documented case where a bank attempted to charge fees up to...19% of the total amount for an international transfer. Thanks to partnerships with some of the largest Brazilian and international banks specializing in international money transfers, Aesgaard Soluções Imobiliárias will allow you to transfer your funds securely and at the lowest guaranteed price! Additionally, we will provide you with the necessary banking documentation to meet the requirements of the immigration department for obtaining your resident status in Brazil.
5) The next step is to notarize the transaction in the presence of all parties involved: This step can be done remotely via Zoom or another platform. Our lawyer, Bruna, will be happy to assist you with this step as well. And there you have it! With Aesgaard, you are assured of a smooth transaction from start to finish, at the lowest possible cost.
6) Now, all that remains is to proceed at the government level to obtain your resident card: At this stage, it is just an administrative formality that we will also be happy to handle for you.
