Our support
Investing in Europe is becoming increasingly expensive. In Brazil, however, it’s still possible to buy affordable beachfront properties.
To succeed, you need someone you can trust on the ground. That’s where we come in: Nieilly is a Brazilian lawyer born and raised in Maceió, and Jason is a Belgian marketer fluent in French, Dutch, English, and Portuguese. Together, we guide you through 100% of the process: selecting the right apartment based on your goals, reviewing contracts, completing the purchase and legal formalities, and managing rentals or resale.
And all of this can be done from the comfort of your home, in your own language.
How does the buying process work?
For the past five years, we have been investing in multiple apartments in Maceió ourselves, while also guiding other investors through their purchases, legal procedures, and rental management.
- Make investing accessible: Offer attractive properties at realistic prices.
- Highlight the beauty of Alagoas and Brazil: Show why this region is unique and why investing here is both an economic and personal opportunity.
- Be your trusted local partner: Combine our European and Brazilian expertise to support you at every step.
- Share our knowledge and experience: Guide you to secure your investment, maximize returns, and enjoy your property, whether for rental, resale, or personal use.
The key to investing in Maceió is buying off-plan.
- Apartments under construction are much cheaper than completed units,
- This means they offer significant value appreciation upon delivery due to the natural growth of the real estate market.
- The Brazilian real is currently weak (€1 ≈ 6.20 BRL), allowing you to benefit from double growth: the natural appreciation of the Maceió market and the potential increase in currency value upon resale.
In short
- We recommend apartments starting at €70,000 or €400/month, just 10 minutes from the beach.
- Your investment value is multiplied by six thanks to the euro.
- Tourism is booming, creating very high rental demand.
- Alagoas is recognized as one of the most beautiful coasts in Brazil.
We do not have partnerships with developers and only choose those we trust. All are well-established, reliable, and legally sound. This allows us to provide a completely independent selection, guided only by what is truly interesting and profitable for you.

The complete buying process
in 8 steps
1. Tell us about your project
- During a free 15-minute call
- During this call, we’ll define your budget (total and monthly), the type of apartment you’re looking for (sea view, distance to the beach, number of bedrooms, etc.), and your intended use (rental, resale, or personal use).
- We’ll also answer all your questions.
No, it’s completely free. The goal is to understand your needs, see if investing in Maceió is right for you, and provide guidance.
Just come with your budget and the type of apartment you’re considering, along with any questions you may have. You can also browse available apartments beforehand to get a clearer idea of what you like.
You’ll speak with Jason, your Belgian contact who has lived in Maceió for over 7 years. He knows the Brazilian market inside out and can answer all your questions about investing in Maceió.
2. We find the perfect apartment for you
- We send you several projects tailored to your criteria (all properties we propose are located in safe, tourist-oriented neighborhoods close to the beach)
- Complete information: description, price, floor plan, photos, and videos.
- On-site visits are possible if you wish.
- Optional: personalised profitability file (€200, fully deductible if purchased with us)
No, most of our clients buy remotely. We provide all photos and videos of the apartment or construction site, along with a detailed project dossier.
However, if you plan a trip to Brazil, we’ll be happy to welcome you in Maceió and visit the properties that interest you.
No. You can also buy completed apartments, in which case we focus on properties less than 15 years old.
However, if your main goal is capital appreciation, we always recommend buying off-plan: it allows you to purchase at a lower price and anticipate a profit upon delivery.
The profitability report is an in-depth, manually prepared financial analysis, specifically created for the apartment you are interested in.
It costs €200, an amount that is fully deducted if you purchase a property with us, even if the final purchase concerns a different apartment than the one analyzed in the report.
What the profitability report includes
- Detailed analysis of the apartment’s rental profitability (short-term and long-term rentals)
- Realistic estimation of the occupancy rate
- Full breakdown of all costs specific to the property: fees, taxes, maintenance, rental management, etc.
- Profitability projections in Brazilian reais and in euros
- Analysis of the medium-term capital appreciation potential, including resale
- Detailed payment plan, in reais and euros
- Complete simulation of monthly payments adjusted by INCC and IGPM throughout the entire construction period
- Information on taxation: taxes on rental income, purchase, and resale
- Information on inheritance and succession rules for foreign investors
- Estimated furnishing and fit-out costs upon delivery of the apartment
3. Choose your apartment and sign our agreement
- You don’t pay anything until you purchase. The agreement simply formalizes our collaboration.
- It guarantees that we work exclusively and transparently for you.
No. You only pay after finalizing the apartment purchase with the developer. The agreement just defines our collaboration and your rights.
It sets out our mutual commitments and ensures you are supported professionally and securely throughout the purchase and legal registration of your property.
We charge 5% of the purchase price (capped at €5,000), only if you buy an apartment we have introduced to you.
- Full support during construction and after delivery.
- Contract review and translation.
- Legal registration of the property in your name.
- Communication with Brazilian authorities (notary, city hall, banks, etc.) and the developer.
- Ongoing support for any questions.
- On-site visits to the property or construction site in Maceió.
- Additional guidance: travel itineraries, tax or legal questions, etc.
- Opening of your Brazilian bank account.
- Support obtaining a visa if you invest at least 700,000 BRL.
- For any future investment, our fees won't be charged
Yes, absolutely. The services described above are complementary services that go well beyond the role of a traditional estate agent. They are specifically tailored to our unique situation:
- Jason is European and multilingual
- Nieilly is a Brazilian lawyer
You can, however, choose to work with us solely as a real estate agent.
In that case:
- No fees are charged to you (the commission is paid by the promoter)
-
You benefit from the traditional services of a real estate agent, namely:
- support before the purchase;
- the legalisation of the property in your name upon the delivery of the building.
4. Payment plan and offer to the developer
- We create a customized payment plan: deposit, monthly installments, and final payment.
- We then present your offer directly to the developer.
You pay directly to the developer over several years, without a bank and with 0% interest. You can adjust the amounts according to your preferences: higher deposit and lower installments, higher monthly payments without semi-annual payments, or any other combination that fits your budget.
General rule: The earlier you pay during construction, the more flexible the developer is in adjusting the payment plan.
We guide you to choose the plan best suited to your financial situation.
Because you pay directly to the developer, no interest is applied.
The only adjustment is based on the INCC, an official index tracking construction costs in Brazil. This allows a slight adjustment in total price according to sector inflation, but no bank fees or traditional interest are applied.
Yes, the developer can decline. In that case, we adjust the plan and negotiate to find an agreement that works for you.
5. Power of attorney (if necessary)
- If you don’t have an address in Brazil, we can help you create a power of attorney allowing a trusted person residing locally to sign the contract on your behalf.
- If you don’t have anyone on site, we can represent you directly, as we do for many of our clients.
- The power of attorney is strictly limited to this purchase contract and does not grant any other rights.
No. It is legally restricted to what is strictly necessary, and you retain full control over the purchase.
Brazilian law requires that all real estate contracts be signed by a person with a local address. This ensures that authorities and the developer can identify the signatory and reach them locally, protecting all parties and guaranteeing the legal validity of the contract.
We start by contacting the Brazilian notary office by providing them with your contact details as well as those of the designated representative.
The notary then drafts an official and strictly framed power of attorney, which authorises the representative solely to sign the purchase contract for the property in question. The apartment and the unit are clearly identified in the document in order to limit the powers of the representative exclusively to this signature.
Once the power of attorney is prepared, you will participate in a video conference of about 5 minutes with the notary. During this call, you will need to present an identity document and answer a few simple questions to allow the notary to verify your identity.
After drafting the document, we will send you the original as well as a translation so that you can read it calmly and transparently. You are of course free to use additional translation tools (such as ChatGPT or Gemini) if you wish.
Once the content is validated, you proceed to pay the notary fees as well as the electronic signature.
The total cost of the power of attorney is approximately 225 BRL, distributed as follows:
- Notary fees: approximately 100 BRL for the establishment of the power of attorney
- Sworn translator (if you do not speak Portuguese): approximately 125 BRL for their presence during the verification call
6. Contract review and payment of the deposit
- We review every clause with you, translate the essential elements, and explain all important points so you fully understand the contract.
- Once validated, you sign and pay the deposit.
- We also assist in opening a Brazilian bank account, so that your monthly payments in reais can be made easily and securely.
You can transfer funds from Europe directly to the developer’s bank account via Wise, or use the Brazilian account we open for you and then transfer the deposit from that account to the developer.
The developer will send you the contract in Portuguese by email. You can then use ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other translation tool to check that our analysis matches the original.
On our side, we highlight every important clause and provide you with a detailed summary in French, Dutch, or English, so you can make your decision with full confidence.
7. Legal registration
- Upon delivery of your apartment, we take care of registering the property in your name with the relevant Brazilian authorities.
In Brazil, an apartment under construction cannot be legally transferred to the buyer before completion. During this period, it remains under the developer’s name, but it is reserved exclusively for you: no one else can acquire it. The official property transfer only occurs upon delivery, in accordance with Brazilian law.
Exactly. You are the future owner, and the apartment is reserved for you, but the legal title is only transferred at delivery.
No, everything can be done remotely through the power of attorney established at the start of the process. If you don’t have one yet, we can create it so the apartment can be registered in your name. This power of attorney is strictly limited to this act and cannot be used for anything else.
8. Rent, sell, or enjoy your apartment
- Whether it’s short-term rental, long-term rental, Airbnb, or resale… we handle everything for you.
We take care of listings, tenant management, payment tracking, and maintenance, so you don’t have to do anything from Europe.
Yes. If you rent via Airbnb, you can use either your European or Brazilian account, and the funds will be deposited directly. For long-term rentals, you’ll need to use the Brazilian account we open for you.
Absolutely! You can rent your apartment on Airbnb when you’re not using it and enjoy it for your own vacations.
We adjust management according to your needs.
Yes, we also assist with selling your property, from negotiation to final signing.
- Upon legal registration: mandatory Brazilian taxes (~4% of the property price for ITBI, notary, and registration).
- Rental income: taxation depends on your country of residence. In general, rental or Airbnb income is subject to local Brazilian tax. If your country recognizes taxation in Brazil, you normally receive a tax credit to avoid double taxation.
Investing in Brazil is not for everyone
We achieve strong results for our investors because we are specialized. We do not try to convince everyone to invest in Brazil, and this is a deliberate choice.
Our approach is designed for thoughtful investors with realistic expectations, who understand that real estate is a medium- to long-term strategy.
The real question is not: “Is it interesting?"
but rather: “Are you the right investor for this approach?”

- Airbnb : for a studio, ± 400 €/month, for 1 bedroom ± 550 €, for 2 bedroom ± 700 €
- Long-term rental : for a studio ± 320 €/month, for 1 bedroom ± 480 €, for 2 bedrooms ± 650 €
Yes. Guarantees vary by developer, but typically include:
- Delivery delays: compensation equivalent to rent if construction is delayed by more than 180 days
- Legal protection: Civil Code and construction laws cover your investment
- Fund separation: your money remains protected even if the developer goes bankrupt (Patrimônio de Afetação)
- Cancellation by buyer: only 25% of payments are retained; the remainder is refunded within 180 days
We can explain each of these points during our call.
It's not required, but it makes monthly payments and rental management much easier. Account opening is free, and we fully set it up for you.
Buying off-plan allows access to much lower entry prices. Additionally, Maceió is experiencing strong growth, and the Brazilian real is currently weak, creating a double opportunity: property appreciation and potential currency gains.
- Les biens ne se transmettent pas automatiquement : un inventaire (judiciaire ou extrajudiciaire) est nécessaire.
- Les héritiers doivent présenter testament/acte notarié et payer l’ITCMD (~4 % à Alagoas).
- Les paiements restants du bien doivent être honorés par l’héritier avant toute revente.
