CRECI SC

What CRECI SC does

CRECI-SC (Conselho Regional de Corretores de Imóveis de Santa Catarina) is a statutory professional regulatory council (autarquia profissional) and the 11th regional council of the Brazilian COFECI-CRECI system, with exclusive jurisdiction over the licensing, credentialing, and discipline of real estate brokers, real estate companies (imobiliárias), and certified property appraisers operating in the state of Santa Catarina. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Florianópolis with six regional delegations (Balneário Camboriú, Blumenau, Chapecó, Criciúma, Joinville, Lages), it regulates thousands of registered professionals and processes mandatory reregistration (recadastramento), ethical complaints via the COEDI commission, and inspection (fiscalização) of unauthorized practice.

The council operates a digital service ecosystem centered on the i-Corretor mobile application (developed by the COFECI-CRECI system), which issues the e-CIRP digital professional identity card and synchronizes registration data in real time with the national COFECI database. Supporting platforms include an online attendance portal, a mandatory recadastramento system, a Moodle-based e-learning platform (UNICRECI-SC) offering TTI and real estate valuation courses, the Clube de Benefícios member discounts program, a public broker lookup service (Consulte seu Corretor), and a real estate portal with market indices. Member engagement is sustained through multi-channel communications including Lives Dialogando webinars, the CRECI Imobi Experience event, and a strong social media presence across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

CRECI-SC is funded through mandatory annual fees (anuidades), registration and credential fees, and CNAI evaluator seal fees, with all fee schedules set by COFECI resolution. It has no commercial investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity; it operates as a self-funded regulatory body under federal oversight by COFECI. A strategic convênio with Caixa Econômica Federal allows accredited registered brokers to sell Caixa's federal real estate inventory, creating a tangible transactional channel for the regulated profession.
