Overview

We are a boutique, focused firm — institutional-grade analysis without the noise of scale. We take on a few mandates at a time, each handled directly, with a bias toward the long relationship, analytical depth, and discretion.

Philosophy

Fewer assets, in better locations, with more attention to design and daily living. Luxury without excess.

Boutique is a mindset, not a tagline. We believe smaller is smarter and intimate can still be iconic — so every decision, from capital structure to architecture to how a home is lived in, is made with intention.

We would rather hold one asset with conviction than assemble ten without it. Character and community outlast square footage — and what is built with soul and detail keeps its value through every cycle.

Principles

How we operate, and what we hold to across every mandate.

01
Intentional, not industrial

Few mandates at a time, each handled directly by a principal. We scale attention, not headcount — analysis without the noise of volume.

02
Value that endures

For residents, spaces that feel personal and timeless. For investors, exclusivity, desirability, and long-term resilience. Detail is what makes value last.

03
Aligned by structure

One side of the table — the client's. Every representation disclosed in writing, every conflict named. Trust is the asset the firm is built on.

Founder

Wictor Arraes

Founder & Principal

Active in high-end South Florida real estate since 2010, licensed in the state. Before Florida, an accredited real estate advisor in Brazil — commercial real estate accreditation since 2002.

A career built around ultra-high-net-worth transactions and new development, with chapters of commercial leadership on institutional sellout projects — including the launch of the Turnberry Ocean Club in Sunny Isles.

A/CO is the institutional articulation of that career: the analytical infrastructure the conventional agency lacks, offered to the LP who deserves access to the method.

Native PT–EN bilingual, with professional fluency in ES. Currently based in Miami, with active operation across the United States, Brazil, Portugal and select European markets.

Team

A/CO runs on a direct core and an extended network of specialist collaborators activated per mandate. The structure is deliberately lean — scale adds noise to the analytical process before it adds value to the LP.

Many composition is formed. Further appointments will be soon announced 

Partners

Credibility is a function of method, not association.

The provider network is curated and activated per deal. Each layer is selected per mandate, disclosed to the investor in writing, and subject to conflict check.

01
Legal layer

Cross-border securities counsel. Tax counsel specialized in the foreign investor in U.S. real estate. Immigration counsel in mandates with a migratory component.

02
Technical layer

Architecture, GC, and Owner's Representative in development deals. Title, escrow, and institutional closing. Independent audit at the investor's request.

03
Financial layer

Institutional lenders for construction and bridge. Family office consultants in the jurisdiction of origin. Curators of cross-border wealth structure.
