What Does Your Ideal Property in Florianópolis Look Like?

No. Our commission is paid entirely by the seller or landlord and is disclosed to you at the start of our conversation. You will never receive an invoice from Hikingwindowm if you are on the buy or rent side of a transaction.

Yes. International buyers are a meaningful part of our client base. We coordinate with bilingual notarial services and can guide you through the CPF registration process that Brazilian property law requires for foreign purchasers. We do not provide legal advice ourselves, but we work with qualified practitioners who do.

From signed offer to completed registration at the Cartório, most sales in Florianópolis take between 45 and 90 days. Cash purchases at the shorter end; financed purchases through Caixa Econômica Federal or Banco do Brasil typically sit at the longer end due to internal appraisal queues. We give you an honest forecast specific to your transaction type at the first meeting.

Our primary focus is the island itself and the immediately adjacent mainland areas of São José and Palhoça. We do not operate in other cities and are transparent about that limit rather than overpromising geographic coverage.

The most useful things to have at hand are your approximate budget or target sale price, your preferred timeline, whether financing is involved, and — if you are new to the island — a list of the neighbourhoods you have already researched or any you have been told to avoid. The more specific you can be, the more focused our response will be.
