Who We Are

The real estate agency Belo Horizonte has known and trusted for decades.

Founded in the heart of Santa Efigênia, Silvio Ximenes Imóveis has built its reputation on something deceptively simple: doing the right thing for clients, every time. That means honest valuations, realistic timelines, and clear communication — not just the promise of a fast deal.

Today our team combines deep neighbourhood expertise with modern processes to serve buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across residential and commercial real estate. From compact studios in Boa Viagem to large commercial suites in the Centro-Sul, we handle it all in-house, from initial appraisal through to signed contracts and key handover.

We are fully registered under CRECI-MG, operate with complete legal transparency, and offer a structured consultancy model that puts your interests — not a commission race — at the centre of everything we do.

Our Differentiators

Six reasons clients choose us — and come back.

01

Hyperlocal Neighbourhood Expertise

Our consultants live and work in BH. We understand the nuances of each district's micromarket — from price trajectories in Savassi to rental demand in Funcionários and emerging opportunities in Boa Viagem.

02

Straightforward, Honest Appraisals

We do not inflate valuations to win listings. Our market assessments are grounded in real, current comparable data. Sellers price correctly; buyers pay fairly. That trust is the foundation of every relationship we build.

03

FGTS & Financing Guidance

Navigating Brazil's FGTS rules and mortgage products is complex. Our team co-ordinates directly with financial institutions and guides buyers through the complete financing process, step by step, from pre-approval to contract.

04

End-to-End Administration

Once a deal is agreed, the paperwork begins — and we stay fully engaged. Legal searches, deed preparation, registry filings and handover documentation are managed by our in-house team, keeping timelines on track.

05

Secure Tenancy Management for Landlords

Landlords who list with us benefit from thorough tenant screening, legally sound tenancy agreements, and ongoing property administration. Our rental team manages renewals, inspections and routine correspondence proactively.

06

A Reputation Built on Referrals

The majority of our new clients come to us through recommendations from existing ones. That says more about the quality of our service than any advertisement could. We protect that reputation with every transaction we handle.

What Our Clients Say

Words from people who've been through it with us.

The whole process of buying my first apartment was far less stressful than I'd expected — and that's entirely because of the Silvio Ximenes team. They were clear, patient and always available when I had questions. I felt guided, not pressured.

Sara C. Residential Buyer · Savassi

I'd tried two other agencies before coming here. The difference was immediate: a proper valuation, realistic advice on the price, and a buyer found within six weeks. I genuinely wish I'd started with Silvio Ximenes.

Matheus G. Property Vendor · Funcionários

As a landlord with three properties, administration was always my headache. Since moving to Silvio Ximenes for management, I haven't had a single gap in tenancy and the paperwork just gets handled. Excellent service, full stop.

Iolanda G. Residential Landlord · Centro-Sul

They found me a three-bedroom apartment in exactly the neighbourhood I wanted, at a price that was actually within my budget — not a bait-and-switch situation. Transparent from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Sarah R. Rental Tenant · Boa Viagem

The market appraisal alone was worth every moment of calling them. It showed me exactly where my property sat in the current market and helped me make an informed decision about when to sell. Serious, professional work.

José Alberto S. Vendor & Investor · Coração Eucarístico

Moving to BH from another state, I had no local contacts and no idea where to start. The Silvio Ximenes consultants treated me like a long-standing client from the first phone call. I moved into a great apartment in under a month.

Common Questions

Things people ask us before getting started.

If you have a question that isn't answered here, our team is always available by phone or email — no obligation, no pressure.

How long does the property purchase process typically take in Belo Horizonte?
For cash purchases, the average timeline from accepted offer to deed registration runs between 30 and 60 days, depending on the complexity of the property's documentation. Financed purchases involving FGTS or a mortgage can take 60 to 120 days due to bank processing and legal searches. Our team manages the timeline actively so nothing stalls unnecessarily.
Can I use my FGTS balance to buy a property through Silvio Ximenes?
Yes. Many of our listed properties are eligible for FGTS (Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço) financing. Our consultants will verify eligibility for any property you're interested in and liaise directly with your bank or the Caixa Econômica Federal on your behalf, making the administrative process significantly less daunting.
What documents does a landlord need to list a property for rent?
You will generally need proof of ownership (escritura or matrícula do imóvel), a current IPTU statement, a valid personal identification document, and proof of address. Depending on the property's situation, we may also request a property tax clearance certificate. Our team will provide a precise checklist at your initial consultation and guide you through any outstanding requirements.
How does your market appraisal service work, and is it free?
Our initial market appraisal — avalição mercadológica — is a professional assessment that draws on current transaction data, active listings in the vicinity, property characteristics, and local demand cycles. We conduct the appraisal and present you with a detailed report before any listing agreement is signed. The appraisal is provided as part of our service and carries no upfront cost.
I'm looking for a three-bedroom apartment to rent. What areas would you recommend?
For three-bedroom rentals, we see strong availability in Boa Viagem, Coração Eucarístico, and the wider Centro-Sul corridor, which offer a good balance of space, amenity and value. For clients prioritising location prestige and proximity to business districts, we also have three-bedroom options in Savassi and Funcionários, though rental values there are naturally higher.
Does Silvio Ximenes manage commercial properties as well as residential ones?
Absolutely. Our commercial real estate service covers retail units, office suites, and mixed-use commercial spaces across BH's central districts. We currently manage commercial listings from compact boutique units to 200m² multi-room commercial floors on major thoroughfares such as Avenida Brasil and Avenida Afonso Pena. Commercial tenant screening and lease drafting are handled by our team.
