Guthmann & Guthmann Immobilien GmbH, together with a German partner firm, is reactivating its property business in Brazil. The focus is on properties and projects in the state of Bahia in the northeast of the country.
Why Brazil
Brazil is one of the leading BRIC nations. The 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro are driving infrastructure investment across the country. For investors looking to diversify their portfolio beyond the Berlin property market, this presents opportunities.
Challenges for German investors
Investing in Brazil requires a well-prepared market entry. The legal system differs significantly from Germany's, and language barriers add to the complexity. Without a local network, there is a real risk of poor decisions when selecting properties and developers.
Our network on the ground
We have been active in the Brazilian market for our clients since 2007, working closely with offices and experts on the ground. Since 2008, we have maintained a partnership with the Odebrecht Group, one of the country's largest developer groups. This allows us to respond to regulatory requirements and select suitable properties from the wide range of offerings.
In the coming months, we will be building a growing selection of properties in Bahia for interested investors.
