Mark McHugh said that the country had enjoyed an impressive resilience to the global financial downturn which has damaged house trading in a number of western countries.
Mr McHugh said that because of this, many foreign investors have been attracted to Brazilian real estate as a means of obtaining positive returns "which are largely unavailable in their home markets", with the north-east proving a particular hit with property buyers.
He added: "According to a recent central bank survey [the north-east] continues to exhibit even stronger GDP growth than other regions, at some two per cent higher than the expected 6.3 per cent national average in 2010."
Last month, Saffron Samson told Ezine Articles that the north-east area has also experienced an economic boost as a result of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, after Natal and Recife were named as the region's host cities.
