CRECI BA

What CRECI BA does

CRECI BA (Conselho Regional de Corretores de Imóveis 9ª Região Bahia) is a Brazilian federal regulatory autarchy established by Law 6.530 of May 12, 1978, operating as the 9th Regional Council within the national COFECI-CRECI system. Its statutory function is to license, register, regulate, and discipline real estate brokers (corretores de imóveis) operating in the State of Bahia. No individual or company may legally intermediate property transactions in the state without CRECI BA credentials, and the organization enforces this mandate through its CEFISP ethics and fiscalization commission, which conducts operations that routinely identify and report 10–15 illegal practitioners per sweep in various municipalities.

The technology stack is a self-service regulatory platform: a member-facing Portal do Corretor for account management, a Certidão de Regularidade issuance system, a public Pesquisa de Corretores directory, a Moodle-based EAD/LMS platform for continuing education, the CRECICast podcast distributed via Anchor, the Canal do Conhecimento YouTube channel, and a WhatsApp remote-attendance service. Service delivery extends through a Salvador headquarters plus 12 regional delegations (Feira de Santana, Barreiras, Ilhéus, Vitória da Conquista, Porto Seguro, Teixeira de Freitas, Juazeiro, Luís Eduardo Magalhães, Itabuna, Alagoinhas, Santo Antônio de Jesus, Jacobina) and multiple municipal delegations. The CRECI Itinerante mobile program brings on-site services to additional municipalities.

Revenue derives almost entirely from mandatory recurring annual registration fees (anuidades) for individual brokers (Pessoa Física), corporate real estate firms (Pessoa Jurídica), and interns, billed annually. Secondary revenue streams include professional training events (Dia de Aula, Corretor Capacitado, Seminário Imobiliário) and minor commercial economics from the Clube Colibri de Vantagens benefits club (notably a national Chevrolet vehicle partnership) and CAIXA Econômica Federal integration. As a public autarchy, CRECI BA does not raise outside capital, has no equity holders, and operates under board governance with a 2025–2027 management term led by President Nilson Araújo. It is not an investable entity in the conventional PE/VC/M&A sense; analytical value lies in mapping institutional reach, regulatory influence, and partnership leverage within Bahia's real estate sector.
