Buyer playbooks

Five guides that cover the process end to end.

CPF, ITBI, escritura, residency visa, financing. The five things every foreign buyer needs to understand — written in plain English by someone who actually closes deals.

The Process

How to Buy Property

CPF, ITBI, cartório, escritura, due diligence — the full process in plain English.

Documents

Get a CPF

You can apply for a CPF online from a Brazilian consulate. Here's how — and what to do if it gets rejected.

Read the guide →

Residency

Investor Visa

$200K in Brazilian real estate buys you a residency visa with a path to citizenship in 4 years. Here's what counts and what doesn't.

Read the guide →

Taxes

Property Taxes

ITBI is a one-time transfer tax (2–3%). IPTU is annual property tax (0.3–1.5%). Capital gains hit on resale. Here's the math.

Financing

Financing Options

Local bank financing for foreigners is rare but not impossible. Developer financing is more common. HELOC from your home country is often the cleanest play.

How Brazilkeys works

A premium platform. No commissions. Real brokers.

01

Foreign-buyer first

Every listing assumes you're non-resident: no CPF yet, no Brazilian bank account, a passport from somewhere else. The whole platform is built around that path.

02

CRECI-vetted brokers only

Every broker on the platform is CRECI-licensed and verified for foreign-buyer experience. We drop brokers who ghost. The bar is real.

03

Direct broker contact

When you inquire on a listing, your message goes directly to the listing's CRECI broker. Brazilkeys does not insert itself between buyer and broker on a confirmed listing.

04

Zero commission take

Brokers pay a flat monthly subscription. No per-lead fees, no commission cuts, no broker shopping. You pay the listing price the broker quotes.
