The Brazilian branch of the Century 21, the largest estate in the world, already testing a new service that promises to untangle the life of someone who needs to sell a property fast, but is not willing to offer a deep discount to find a buyer. The estate will import a very successful formula in Australia and plans to hold auctions in which interested parties may dispute the purchase of a property on the Internet.

The system is very different from currently used in Brazil, where only property taken over by banks or seized by the courts tend to go to auction. Today, the stakes are enormous for the buyer, since most properties are still occupied by the debtor or the bank of justice can not be visited before being auctioned and rarely are in perfect condition. Many problems of the property, therefore, will not be known by the buyer months later, when the occupants are evicted.

Century 21′s model, however, provides only are auctioned “uncomplicated estate.” On the day of sale, the property is unoccupied. The transfer of documents and delivery of the keys to the buyer may be held on the same day the payment is made. To facilitate the identification of a “hassle-free property,” these auctions will not be made parallel to the property seized or taken over by banks. “It will be a unique environment,” says the president of Century 21 in Brazil, Ernani Assisi.

For the seller, the auction promises to be a way to quickly sell the property without giving a huge discount to attract a buyer. The housing market does not offer the same liquidity as other investments, like stocks or bonds. According to Century 21, get a buyer for a property usually takes 43 days in São Paulo and 64 days in the national average. With the auction, you can dispose of the property in just 15 days.

Since the buyer has the advantage of knowing that the seller is really willing to sell the property, not lose time with stressful negotiations, will not have to worry about the possibility of buying a seized property because all the documentation will have been checked and, if hopefully, be able to buy it at a discount.

The fortnightly auctions should start happening from November 1. Until then, the 21st Century must perform several tests. In the single experiment ever undertaken, the results were very positive. A specialist firm was hired to evaluate the fair price of an apartment in Itaim Bibi and reached the value of 650,000 dollars. The initial value for the cap up for auction, however, was reduced to 610,000 reais in order to attract a greater number of stakeholders and increase the competition for property.

The strategy worked, and the property eventually auctioned for 750,000 dollars – a 23% premium over the minimum bid. Any values ??not include transaction costs. The seller must pay a commission to Century 21 corresponding to 6% of final value (750,000 dollars) – the same percentage established as standard in any real estate transaction. However, who disposes of the property will also have to bear the cost for evaluation by a specialist company – something around 400 dollars. Since the buyer has to pay the auctioneer’s commission, which corresponds to 5% of the price paid for the property – a cost that does not exist in the traditional model.

Risks

The seller should be pretty comfortable with the initial value of the auction and should not put it up for sale so if you are unhappy. Ernani Assisi, Century 21, believes it is possible to obtain an average premium of 25% over the minimum each auction. There is no guarantee, however, that this will happen, and after the hammer, there will be no going back. Since the buyer can not get carried away and offer more money than the previously set for the property. As in any auction, you must have cold blood and act as a professional.

The risk of disappointment with the property as a bank or judicial auction, however, does not exist. In any real estate auction conducted by Century 21, the seller will have to open the doors of the property to interested parties at least for a day. Is it possible to spend several hours there and check the status and characteristics of each room in detail. Those interested will be accompanied by a broker, and possibly security. If you find that the property is damaged, the buyer can put that in the maximum price to be offered.

The catalog of the properties offered on the site can be accessed from Zukerman, the company hired to conduct the auctions. You can also bid on the Internet – a medium that allows the simultaneous participation of many people and avoid travel and transportation. Those who feel more comfortable, you can also go to Zukerman’s headquarters in Sao Paulo to participate. If someone gives a winning bid over the Internet or in person and then quit, would bear a heavy fine.

Payment can be financed in the same way as any other real estate transaction. The check for the amount in cash must be delivered within 24 hours of the auction. Since the letter of credit guaranteeing payment of the remaining share must be obtained beforehand. On the day of the auction, the buyer will have had their creditworthiness reviewed and approved by the bank, which also will have knowledge of the property being auctioned. As with any real estate transaction, the bank will deposit the money into seller’s account after the transfer of the deed.

Century 21 bet on the success of the model. The exclusive contract signed with Zukerman 1804 provides that property will be sold through auctions in the first two years of partnership. To ensure that no lack of vendors interested in using the auction system, Century 21 plans to give incentives to brokers. The commission paid to employees in the sale of real estate at auction is higher than normal – reflecting a quicker sale and less costly.

If all goes as expected by Century 21, the only people who lose under the new system of auctions are investors who make money on the purchase of real estate salespeople hanged in debt as a way to get a big discount on the transaction.

Oldest city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Rio Grande is about to experience the greatest transformation property of their 274 years of history. With about $ 7 billion in new naval projects under construction and already announced, the port city are expected to generate over 40,000 jobs over the next five years. Mindful of the demand that is coming and what already exists – and no room to live in the city itself – a group of heavy investors want to invest R $ 250 million to change the city of 200,000 inhabitants.

In an area of ??106 square meters, will be built the first mall in the city, with 26 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA), an Ibis and a new planned neighborhood, with commercial buildings, residential houses and lots.

In this endeavor are big names – the real estate sector and beyond. The land was purchased about a year for Iboty Ioschpe, a partner and advisor Iochpe-Maxion, a maker of auto parts and components for the railway industry. Real estate investor in an individual, owns Aquarius Iboty Realty. “I got interested by the future prospect of the city, according to the shipping hub,” said Ioschpe.

Iboty Ioschpe, Cipasa Partage and will invest $ 250 million in development that changes the scenery of the city

The business partners will Cipasa, a traditional blend of companies in the country – which last year was acquired by private equity fund Prosperitas, specializing in real estate – and Partage, real estate arm of the Baptist family, who share control of Aché laboratory with two other families.

Iboty did not give up continuing in each of the projects that will be erected in the vast terrain. The Cipasa and Concord, local company, part of a consortium that owns 60% of the allotment, while the other 40% remain with the Aquarius Enterprises.

Partage is already two-thirds of the mall – and Ioschpe with a third. “There were several companies interested in business,” says Ioschpe, who says he Partage chosen because the company will “anchor weight” to the mall. Ricardo Baptista, of Partage, would not say what are the retailers who must go to Rio Grande. The mall will cover an audience of about 400 000 people, between Rio Grande and surrounding areas. “It will be a premier shopping destination in the region,” says Baptista.

According to Ivo Szterling, director of Cipasa, the company began, more than a year, a national expansion plan, with housing developments in economic segments, medium and high standards. The planned neighborhood of Rio Grande is the second venture of Cipasa in Rio Grande do Sul – the first was in Canoas. As has been done by the district Sobloco Ceramics in Sao Caetano (SP), the idea is to establish partnerships with developers. The project provides for four product types: 600 apartments, 300 to 400 lots of standard medium (from 250 m2 to 300 m2) and one thousand units of mid-high (lots of 360 m2 to 450 m2).

The lack of housing and hotels in Rio Grande do with the workers who build the platforms choose to live in Pelotas, 60 kilometers from Rio Grande, and Casino, 22 km. “Today the lack of projects in real estate is limiting new projects in the city,” says the deputy mayor of Rio Grande, Adinelson Exchange.

Second largest cargo handling port in the most silent, the port of Rio Grande has an important role in cargo handling to Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. In addition to the Dry Dock, which was begun in 2009 by WTorre was purchased by Engevix, there are three more platforms for Petrobras, P53, P55, P63. Queiroz Galvão also build a platform, P58, and the group will work naval Wilson Sons.
