FIABCI-BRASIL

What FIABCI-BRASIL does

FIABCI-BRASIL is the Brazilian national chapter of FIABCI Mundial, the International Real Estate Federation headquartered in Paris. Founded in 1975 and based in São Paulo, the federation operates as a non-profit professional membership organization serving real estate professionals across Brazil. It is governed by an elected board led by President Flavio Amary (re-elected for the 2025-2027 term) and operates with a lean staff of 9 employees.

The federation's core offerings are organized around three pillars: industry recognition programs, knowledge exchange events, and media publishing. Flagship programs include the Prêmio Master Imobiliário (annual Brazilian real estate excellence award co-organized with Secovi-SP, in its 30th edition in 2024) and the Prix d'Excellence (FIABCI Mundial's international awards). Events include the FIABCI World Congress, FIABCI Global Business Summit, Mesa Redonda business meetings, MasterClass educational sessions, and international business missions (Missões Internacionais) to global real estate markets such as MIPIM in Cannes. Media assets include the weekly FIABCI-BRASIL Informa column in O Estado de S.Paulo, the bimonthly FIABCI Hoje newsletter, and the Cidade Viva TV series on BandNews TV (produced with Secovi-SP). A member-facing mobile application provides additional service access.

The business model is subscription-based recurring membership fees across seven tiers (Individual, Collective, Honorary, Principal, Corporate, Academic, Public Sector), supplemented by event-driven sponsorship and co-organized programming revenue. Members gain access to networking, international missions, knowledge content, and award eligibility. The federation operates within a broader ecosystem of strategic partners including Secovi-SP, SindusCon-SP, ABECIP, RICS, CTBUH, ADIT Brasil, CIMLOP, and MIPIM, and participates in the UN Global Compact and World Urban Campaign initiatives.
