SC's northern coast, without the rush

Praia Brava, Cabeçudas and Rancho Queimado. Numbers with sources, paperwork checked before the visit, and no promise of appreciation. Marcelo · licensed real estate broker · CRECI-SC 78667.

Who you'll work with

Marcelo, real estate broker

I started as a real estate broker in 1995 and, from 2001 to 2007, I structured home financing in Florida. After 50, I moved to Santa Catarina. Today I cover SC's northern coast (Litoral Norte) and the mountains with the same method: numbers and paperwork first, then the visit.

I don't promise appreciation. I show you each place's rules, the asking price with a source, and the weak spot, so you can decide without pressure.

Three places

Where I work

Three ways to live well, each with its own rules. The region's price benchmark is Barra Sul, in Balneário Camboriú: on the DWV platform, the average asking price per square meter there was US$ 6,299 (R$ 32,014), almost the same as Praia Brava (US$ 5,898 (R$ 29,979)).

Praia Brava

Low-rise buildings under a Federal Court settlement, afternoon sun on the sand, a surf beach, and luxury that doesn't show on the facade.

Itajaí · coast

Cabeçudas

Houses and low-rise buildings by law, a beachfront promenade, and almost no land left. Itajaí's most private beach neighborhood.

Method

How I work

Discretion

Your name, what you're looking for and your budget stay between us. In the channel's videos, I don't show facades with street numbers, license plates or neighbors.

Paperwork review

Before the visit, I request the updated property registration record (matrícula), litigation certificates (certidões) on the seller and, for properties under construction or new developments, the building permit (alvará), the environmental license and the development registration (registro de incorporação). In the mountains, also the gated community's approval and the zoning.

Scheduled visit

One visit at a time, at your convenience, with time to see the street at two different times of day. If something doesn't add up, I'll tell you. No matter how beautiful the view.

Buying as a foreigner

You need a CPF (Brazil's individual taxpayer number) to own real estate in Brazil. Federal Revenue rules require it for residents and non-residents who own property here (Receita Federal, IN RFB No. 2,172/2024, art. 4, II, d). Abroad, you apply in person at a Brazilian consulate; the service is free. Foreigners with an address abroad must also confirm their CPF details once a year in the Receita Federal app.

Talk to me

No rush and no mailing list. You tell me what you're looking for; I reply with what I've checked, including what doesn't fit. The visit is scheduled at your convenience, once the basic paperwork has been reviewed.
