Buying and selling farmland and rural property in Petrolina, Juazeiro and the surrounding region, with title records, satellite imagery and environmental checks reviewed before any offer.
Ask in your own words, by text or voice: "I’m looking for irrigated land near Petrolina". The assistant answers right away, any time.
Foreign buyers: the purchase of rural property in Brazil by foreigners is subject to limits and conditions under Law 5,709/1971 (Lei 5.709/1971). We discuss your case at the start.
Each path starts with a short questionnaire, one question per screen, which already shows how I work. If your profile is a fit, I contact you for a second conversation, online. Quick question? Ask the AI assistant.
You answer the seller questionnaire and, if you have it, upload the KML or KMZ of the property. I review it, research the price and, if it makes sense, contact you for a second conversation.
Did you send the KML or KMZ of your property? You get a satellite report of the property as a gift.
Fill in as a seller See the service proposalYou answer the buyer questionnaire: goal, region, budget and timeline. I review your profile and, if it makes sense, shortlist properties and run the checks. The online conversation comes before any payment; the starting deposit comes after it and before the in-person visit.
Fill in as a buyer See the service proposalThe AI assistant explains how I work, how to sell, how to buy and what to check before signing. If it doesn’t know, it takes you to the questionnaire.
The same for sellers and buyers.
I learn your goal, the documents available and the actual situation of the property.
Title records, satellite imagery and environmental checks, before any offer.
Price researched with comparable sales, the right buyer and negotiation in writing.
Contract, closing and any pending title regularization, handled together with the sale.
From "does this make sense for me?" to closing and registration, in the order a purchase happens.
Land without checks is a gamble. On every property I review public records and documents:
I state clearly what was checked and what was not. No analysis guarantees appreciation or any business result.
I only list properties whose owners authorized it in writing. I show the region, never the exact location, with the price highlighted. Location, summarized documents and satellite report sit in a reserved dossier.

Licensed real estate broker, CRECI 5751 (9th Region, Brazil). I work with landowners and buyers of farmland and rural property in Petrolina (Pernambuco), Juazeiro (Bahia), around Sobradinho Lake and across the São Francisco Valley.
I grew up between my father’s two farms in Pernambuco. From age 4 to 8, I was always going from one to the other: one was on the bank of the São Francisco River, near Santa Maria da Boa Vista; the other was dryland, in the middle of the Caatinga.
On the river farm, my father had a "paquete", a boat made entirely of wood with a diesel engine in the middle. We went up and down the river and stopped at the islands, many of them deserted back then, to pick cashew fruit and mangoes and swim on the little beaches. The native mango trees were huge, with trunks that took five or six people to hug. I climbed them as if they were floors of a building and, way up high, looking at the river, I ate two, three, four, five mangoes.
On the dryland farm, the water came from a well and a cistern, we raised sheep and goats and there were umbu trees everywhere. I would head off alone into the Caatinga, with binoculars and a little knife, looking for umbu fruit, while my parents warned: watch out for snakes. The umbu tree survives the drought on the water stored in its roots: it loses every leaf and looks dead, but it is alive. And the more it rains, the bigger, juicier and sweeter the umbu gets.
That love for the countryside was planted back then, and it is what gives me the strength to work with rural land. My father’s farms no longer exist and I am starting to have mine again. My kids already ask: "Dad, let’s go to the farm".
Today, first contact is through the questionnaire and the review comes before the conversation: I look at the documents that exist and the real situation of the property. I speak Portuguese; the AI assistant helps in English.

Yes, within limits. The purchase of rural property by foreigners in Brazil is regulated by Law 5,709/1971 (Lei 5.709/1971), which sets limits and conditions. If that is your case, we discuss it at the very start.
Fill in the seller questionnaire: type of property, municipality, size, documents, use, water, timeline and, if you have it, the KML or KMZ of the property. I review your profile and, if it makes sense, contact you for a second conversation, online. Then come the documents, screening, satellite review, a price researched with comparable sales, listing only with your authorization and negotiation in writing.
Before signing, check the title registration (matrícula) and full certificate, the CAR, georeferencing in SIGEF/INCRA, ITR and CCIR, the Legal Reserve and APP, water rights, IBAMA embargoes, the forced-labor list and mining rights (ANM), and compare wet- and dry-season satellite images. The free guide covers each point (in Portuguese).
Yes. This is common in the region and the sale does not have to stop: title regularization is done together with the sale, with a contract clause that protects both parties and a flexible deadline. I point out the risk up front and write the clause.
No. The CAR is an environmental registry created by Law 12,651/2012 (Forest Code); it is not a title. Ownership is proven by the registration (matrícula) at the real estate registry office.
A success-based commission of 10% to 12%, agreed in writing in the contract before we start. See the service proposal.
