The AIPP Awards 2010 have recognised Colordarcy Investment’s passion for client satisfaction and have nominated the company for the ‘Most Outstanding Example of Customer Service’ and ‘Most Transparent Marketing Campaign’ categories.

Launched in 2008, the AIPP Awards is an independent not-for-profit awards programme with a focus purely on customer service. The Awards recognise and reward overseas property agents and developers who demonstrate excellence and professionalism in this area.

The AIPP Awards 2010 will be presented in front of a live audience of industry professionals and consumers at A Place in the Sun Live exhibition, in Earls Court London on Friday 26th March.

Loxley McKenzie, Managing Director of Colordarcy, said: We are honoured to be named as finalists for both the ‘Most Outstanding Example of Customer Service’ and ‘Most Transparent Marketing Campaign’ awards, two of the most highly respected awards in the industry.

In January 2006; we sat down to write our business plan for a new overseas property company. We did not want to create just another company that will make up the numbers; instead, we wanted to build a special company, one that would be here in 40, 60, even 200 years time. One that delivered on its strong values and ethics rather than just paying lip service to them.

After going through 1000 things that we could do to stand out from the crowd – positive cash flow properties, technological breakthroughs, a consultant in every city in the world, mission statement, etc, we went back to the top of the list. At the top of the list – there it was scribbled in black ink: client, client, client! We had the answer from the first drop of ink.

At Colordarcy, we ensure that the client is at the heart of our business and we aim to consistently deliver the highest level of service to you at all times. Our passion, our goal and our success is centred on client satisfaction. It is exciting to receive this level of recognition for our high level of client focus, but if I am honest, we would do it anyway as it is what we believe in.

Colordarcy Investmenthave had a record-breaking year, with a portfolio of positive cash flow properties in Brazil, Egypt, Florida, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.

Property investors from around the world are flocking to Brazilian shores with a view to snapping up real estate, in anticipation of future capital growth.

Brazil Property Specialist, Colordarcy have seen Brazilian property enquiries increase by 60%, since the Olympic announcement. The company has responded by launching a consultancy service to help clients to source the best real estate deals in Rio de Janeiro.

Loxley McKenzie, Chief Executive at Colordarcy is predicting an annual increase of 20% per annum carrying through to the Olympic. He said, “The time to purchase Brazil real estate is now, I have no doubt that we will see incredible growth over the next few years”.

Mortgages will soon be available to international buyers and this will create a further boost to Brazil’s property market.

Investment banking firm Goldman Sachs believes that Brazil?s economic growth could outstrip that of the other BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations over the next few years.

Brazil?s economy is widely expected to become the fifth largest in the world by the time the Olympic Games kicks off in 2016, and yet property and land prices still remain a fraction of those found in more developed nations.

The Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has already pledged to spend up to £11.5bn on building a million new homes in Brazil between now and 2011.

It is time to Samba all the way to Brazil.

Brazil Property Specialist, Colordarcy have seen Brazilian property enquiries increase by 60%, since the Olympic announcement. The company has responded by launching a consultancy service to help clients to source the best real estate deals in Rio de Janeiro.

Currency exchange firm Moneycorp told Homes Overseas that it has now launched a service converting sterling to Brazilian reals in response to a rise in interest, which it notes has also been boosted by the country hosting the 2014 football World Cup.

The firm said that in August there was a 57 per cent jump in enquiries about the country in August alone – a situation arising before the Olympic decision.

Commenting on the development, Moneycorp’s Brazilian Real account manager Deane Rowe said: “We are delighted to launch the Brazilian Real Service to help our clients get the best deal possible when looking to invest in Brazil.”

Those considering Brazil as a place to buy international real estate may be interested in the views of world property guru Sam Zell who declared a couple of months ago that Brazil is the ‘number one country in the world for investments.

Zell, regarded as one of the wisest voices in the global real estate industry, has spoken extensively about the benefits of investing in real estate in Brazil. He has pointed out that it is a country with a shortage of affordable housing and infrastructures that support foreign investment.

He said recently that Brazil is self-sufficient, has a strong pool of skilled professionals and otherwise unlimited resources. It also offers scale, he said, and described how Equity International-owned malls have seen 12% growth over the past year.

‘If you look at all of the facts, I don’t think there is a better environment in the entire world than Brazil,’ said Zell, who has also suggested that the country could surpass China in economic might in 30 years.

It seems that Brazils Olympic hosting will only serve to make Brazil an even stronger proposition.

Investing in positive cash flow property significantly reduces the risk because the property will pay for itself regardless of market conditions, employment status or other financial commitments.

David Beckham has announced a scholarship program available to local Brazilian children in order to actively reach-out to schools within the region.

He hopes that the children will benefit from on-site coaching and access to the top class facilities, much in the same way as his Academies in London and Los Angeles.

Rubens Barrichello, Brazilian F1 champion, is also involved in the development, as well as Norwegian multi-millionaire businessman Torben Frantzen, brother of Findus founder Geir Frantzen.

Natal, the capital of the Brazilian state Rio Grande do Norte, is about 2600 km north of Sao Paulo along the northeast coast of the country. This city of 710,000 residents is an increasingly popular target for international investors and real estate developers. The spectacular location along the ocean and miles of undeveloped beaches north and south of the city make it ideal for those who are looking to get into an area that is up and coming.

Natal and the areas surrounding it is currently the target for over a billion dollars (US) in development. There are at least 10 golf courses planned or under construction and dozens of new housing, apartment and resort developments are also under construction. The city and surrounding communities are a major tourist destination for domestic travellers in Brazil. The area is being marketed as an international tourist destination as well, and the city is becoming increasingly popular among foreigners.

WTTC announced strong performance for Travel & Tourism Demand in Brazil in 2007, growing at a rate of 7.2 per cent. This forecast points to a rapid but steady phase of growth for Brazilian Travel & Tourism in the short and medium term, averaging 5.3 per cent per annum over the coming decade.

According to WTTC’s latest findings, Brazil is holding strong as the second largest Travel & Tourism economy in Latin America after Mexico and followed by Argentina, with Travel & Tourism Demand accounting for more than BRL184.5 bn (US$79.3 bn) in 2007.

WTTC President, Jean-Claude Baumgarten commented, “Brazil has made tremendous efforts to make Travel & Tourism a strategic priority and develop its own plans to realize the full potential that this industry can bring to job creation and economic development for the country. After recent years of economic downturn, the Brazilian government has successfully focused its attention on the long list of policy issues from marketing and promotion budgets, to aviation policy, from investment incentives to safety and security that will make a real difference for the industry worldwide.”

Globally, Travel & Tourism is growing at a steady annual rate of 4.3 per cent over the next ten years. However this continued growth in global Travel & Tourism demand presents a more dynamic and challenging business environment than ever before.

Mr. Baumgarten continued, “The thriving Travel & Tourism industry can certainly generate jobs and can spread prosperity around the world. However, the full potential of Travel & Tourism can only be realized, with the full and long term support of government. Issues such as infrastructure, education and the sustainable development of Travel & Tourism can only be addressed – effectively – with public and private sector partners working in synergy.”
