Is there a governing body of control for Brazil real estate agents?
Yes, Brazil’s estate agents/realtors are monitored carefully by a governing body known as CRECI, which stands for ‘Conselho Regional de Corretores de Imóveis’. Each qualified agent/realtor, or real estate business based in Brazil will be registered with CRECI and will be assigned a unique number which is lodged at the companies house. As an example, Brazil Overseas Property Negócios Imobiliários Ltda is a registered Real Estate Agents in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba (CRECI – 383J).
