A quick google search and comparison should provide you with a couple.

But beware, the lowest price isn't always the correct price.

There are generally two ways of misrepresenting property prices: Advertising a property at an "incredible" low price - but oh shame, "the units are all sold out BUT we do have some at a slightly higher price" or just inflating the price which is advertised in Brazil. Look for the same product being offered by two different european agents, normally the ones with the bad reputation, the big boy who everyone loves to hate is allegedely involved in this kind of practice.

Funnily enough I took an agency who is probably advertised as having the worst reputation and looked at their website.

They are offering two developments in Brazil, both from a Brazilian developer.

On the first development, the lowest prices they are advertising is lower than the cheapest property on the same development directly from the developer. (about 2000 € cheaper)

On the second development the lowest price they are advertising is 6000 € more expensive than the cheapest property on the same development directly from the developer.

Could be the exchange rate I guess. but then either both would be more expensive or both would be cheaper.
