Descriptiontext

QuintoAndar is a São Paulo-based digital housing platform founded in 2012 that operates as Latin America's largest online residential real estate marketplace, serving individual renters, buyers, landlords, and (as of late 2025) real estate agents across multiple Brazilian cities. The platform enables an end-to-end digital rental and purchase workflow—property search, virtual tours, digital credit analysis, digital contract signing, and integrated rent payment—while eliminating traditional Brazilian rental friction such as the requirement for a fiador (guarantor) or caução (security deposit) through its proprietary Garantia QuintoAndar product. Underlying technology includes a self-serve web and mobile platform with 60+ search filters, a proprietary pricing intelligence engine called QPreço that aggregates neighborhood-level market data, and a recently launched first-in-Latin-America ChatGPT integration for conversational property discovery. QuintoAndar generates revenue through a diversified set of transaction-based streams: commissions on rental contracts (12,000+ new contracts per month) and property sales, managed-service fees from the Consórcio QuintoAndar property consortium product (no down payment, no interest, 10% cashback), mortgage financing advisory fees through bank partnerships, subscription/management fees from landlords, and fees on the tenant guaranty product. The company has raised over $700 million across multiple rounds led by SoftBank, Kaszek Ventures, General Atlantic, Ribbit Capital, Greenoaks, and Tencent, reaching a $5.1 billion valuation in August 2021, and operates with 1,001–5,000 employees alongside acquired brands including Imovelweb.
