QuintoAndar, a leading real estate platform, has reported remarkable progress among its regional partner agencies, where closed contracts soared by 90% and Gross Sales Value (VGV) surged by 102% in 2025 compared to 2024. This growth is anchored in their co-creation partnership model, launched under the Decola Project, which integrates technological solutions like the Broker App and Real Estate Central. These tools have improved operational efficiency and partner satisfaction, with 85% of partners rating their experience highly and a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 79, reflecting strong partner approval.
Meanwhile, Sebrae's mission to the Baixo Amazonas region exemplifies a multifaceted approach to local economic development. The initiative showcased 20 promising startups in sectors such as biocosmetics and biofarming, encouraging sustainable entrepreneurship. A standout project involves the Coomflona cooperative, which comprises 311 members engaged in certified woodwork and is advancing a solar energy plant to reduce local dependence on diesel-powered machinery. This initiative has attracted interest from key players like Wilson Poit, founder of Poit Energia, and Edlailson Pimentel from Absolar, as well as government representatives like Federal Deputy Rodrigo Rollemberg.
The Sebrae delegation toured productive agroforestry backyards in Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos, supporting sustainable agricultural practices that enhance local incomes. The mission also embraced cultural dimensions with a spiritual cleansing ceremony led by Pajé Nato Tupinambá, acknowledging indigenous values alongside economic development.
These initiatives illustrate a dynamic blend of technology, sustainable practices, and cultural respect fostering robust economic growth in Brazil’s local communities. Both QuintoAndar’s advanced partnership model and Sebrae’s targeted mission highlight replicable strategies that could inspire similar growth across other Brazilian regions and biomes.
