Forbes Global Properties has announced its expansion into Brazil with the addition of two firms: Judice & Araujo to represent the state of Rio de Janeiro, and Jardins & Co. to represent the state of São Paulo.
“Brazil represents an exciting and important market for our continued international growth, with Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo standing among the world’s most desirable lifestyle destinations,” said Michael Jalbert, CEO of Forbes Global Properties. “We are thrilled to welcome these two exceptional firms to our network. Each brings a distinct perspective, deep local expertise, and a shared dedication to serving clients at the highest level.”
In Rio de Janeiro, Forbes stated that Judice & Araujo brings over five decades of experience serving clients across the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods—Leblon, Ipanema, Lagoa, Gávea, Jardim Botânico, and Barra da Tijuca. In addition to its presence in these neighborhoods, the firm also serves clients in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. Independently-owned and led by the first and second generations of the Judice Araujo family, the firm also specializes in the high-end residential market.
“For more than 50 years, Judice & Araujo has been dedicated to serving discerning clients seeking exceptional homes in Rio de Janeiro’s most prestigious locations,” said Patricia Judice Esteves, vice president of Judice & Araujo. “Joining Forbes Global Properties allows us to connect our clients and our listings with an influential global audience while maintaining the personalized service and discretion that define our brand.”
In São Paulo, Forbes stated that Jardins & Co. has operated with a model fully focused on the client since 2016, offering a close and personalised service across the city’s most relevant neighbourhoods—Jardins, Itaim Bibi, Vila Nova Conceição, Alto de Pinheiros, Moema and Cidade Jardim—as well as the country’s most sought-after countryside destinations—Fazenda Boa Vista, Quinta da Baroneza, Fazenda da Grama and Haras Larissa.
“Our focus has always been to understand each client’s needs and offer a complete and personalized experience,” said Raphael Guaraná and Silvana Dorta, founding partners of Jardins & Co. “Becoming part of Forbes Global Properties strengthens our ability to bridge opportunities between Brazil and an increasingly global real estate landscape.”
