QuintoAndar, the largest housing platform in Latin America, will invest more than R$ 100 million in Rio de Janeiro throughout 2026, as part of an expansion plan that anticipates the company’s arrival in 87 new areas of the Metropolitan Region.
Currently, QuintoAndar already has more than 30,000 properties listed in Rio de Janeiro and records one scheduled visit every 30 seconds in the region, consolidating its presence as the main digital housing platform in the state.
As part of this strategy, QuintoAndar estimates growing the number of partner agents in the state by 40% throughout the year, with a focus on high-demand regions such as Zona Sul and Barra da Tijuca.
The investment aims to broaden the supply of properties and make transactions more safer and predictable for owners, tenants, buyers, sellers, and brokers. In other words, the idea is to bring QuintoAndar’s major differentiators to more people, such as Guaranteed Payment, which ensures rent collection for owners even in cases of tenant default, and Damage Protection, in addition to the intensive use of artificial intelligence for property searches.
The platform also utilizes tools such as QPreço, which supports property pricing based on internal and external databases, and AI search systems that connect clients and properties more efficiently, reducing vacancy time and increasing the closing rate of deals.
“Rio de Janeiro is strategic for our vision of growth and innovation,” says Lucas Lima, COO of QuintoAndar. “We are expanding our presence in the region with technology that reduces bureaucracy, increases financial predictability, and creates a safer environment for brokers and clients to transact.”
According to the executive, the strategy also seeks to address the informality still present in the Rio market. “Rio is one of the most dynamic markets in the country, but also one of the most complex. Our investment goes beyond territorial expansion: we are bringing to the region a platform that protects all links in the chain and reduces risks, creating conditions for the market to grow in a more efficient and sustainable way.”
The expansion also includes strengthening the local network of partner agents, who are empowered by all the technological support enabled by the Platform, which includes, for example, professional photography for listings, tools that improve property pricing, and digital contract signing, allowing partner agents to consolidate their more consultative and productive performance.
