Acquiring real estate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil can be a challenging task without the right person at your side. Unlike the United states, Brazil does not incorporate a Multiple Listing Service. Owners list their apartment homes with specific brokers and the only way you have access to that property is if you are a client of that specific broker. In addition, brokers make every effort to keep property information secretive and contractual so that you are forced to buy the property only through them. This makes searching for the right property especially difficult because your search will be limited to only the broker you are a client of.

When you choose Anthony Nunes, Founder of Rio de Janeiro Properties, to help you with your real estate needs, he breaks down that broker specific limitation with his ability to access properties for sale through his extensive list of contacts whether it be through his list of brokers in Rio or his direct relationships with property owners.

Furthermore, Anthony does not limit your opportunities to only retail listed apartments or penthouses. He also has access to and experience with foreclosed apartments, penthouses and houses in Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon as well as other areas. Although purchasing a foreclosed property is a bit more complicated and takes longer to close than a normal purchase, it can represent a savings of 20 to 50% from the current market value.

In addition to forclosures, Anthony has access to "Inventarios". These are real-estate properties where the owner has passed away and a judicial process must take place. During that process, you are able to live in the apartment, remodel it or even rent it for only 50% of the purchase price. The process can take a few months to a few years. Upon completion of the inventario process, the remaining 50% will be due. These are great opportunities for capital appreciation and rental income with only 50% of the purchase price being required. Anthony currently buys and sells foreclosed properties and inventarios for his own personal real estate portfolio.

Anthony's experience with sales and marketing began in 1995 when he created the award-winning web site Wall Street Online. It was the world's first web-based service to provide individuals with internet access to a diverse multitude of financial-related newsletters. It quickly became a success and within a year was purchased by a small educational firm for active stock market day traders.

Anthony remained on as a Vice President for that firm where for 15 years he was responsible in establishing them a dominant position as being one of the most respected web sites for active traders growing them from just a few hundred clients to over 85,000.

Anthony's extensive business experience, organizational skills, attention to detail, genuine concern for each client and strong negotiation skills have allowed him to help many clients find what they were looking for in the Rio de Janeiro real estate market.
