Building the future
of Colombian real estate
We buy with our own capital. Written offer within one week, no commission taken from you.
What we buy
Six kinds of asset. If yours fits one of them, we can usually answer in days rather than weeks.
What we look for in each- Apartments and houses Finished residential units in consolidated neighbourhoods, empty or with a tenant.
- Buildings and multi-family Whole buildings we can reposition, split into units and put back on the rental market.
- Urban land Lots inside the urban perimeter with zoning that already allows what we intend to build.
- Commercial space Ground-floor retail and small offices, ideally with a tenant already paying.
- Distressed assets Properties with liens, unfinished succession or a bank process behind them.
- Short-stay units Apartments in tourist areas that already operate as short rentals or could.
Why owners sell to us
One week
From the moment you send the property to the moment you have our written offer in hand, or a plain no.
No commission, because we are not brokers
We are the buyer. Nothing is deducted from your price, and we carry our own legal and notary costs.
We buy as it stands
No repairs, no staging, no parade of visitors through your home. Liens and unfinished paperwork are cases we already know how to handle.
How a purchase moves

We check the title and run the numbers on our own. You get an answer within one week.

Closing

Where we buy
Four capitals and the municipalities around them. These are the markets we know well enough to price without guessing.
- Bogotá
- Medellín
- Cali
- Cartagena
- Rionegro
- Chía
The apartment had an embargo from my father's succession and three agencies had already turned it down. Collectia bought it and handled the paperwork themselves.
Frequent questions
Do you charge any commission?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker. There is no commission, no listing fee and no cost to you for sending us a property. We pay our own legal and notary costs at closing.
Do you buy properties with liens or legal problems?
Yes, and it is often where we add the most. Embargoes, unfinished succession and bank repossession files are cases we take on regularly. The price reflects the risk and the time it takes to clear them, and we say so openly in the offer.
How do you set the price you offer?
Comparable transactions in the same sector, the condition of the property, and how long we expect to take to lease or resell it. We show you the comparables we used, so the number is a position you can argue with, not a take-it-or-leave-it figure.
Do you buy outside the cities listed?
Those are the markets we know well enough to underwrite. If your property sits somewhere else, send it anyway. We will either look at it seriously or tell you plainly that it is not for us.
What documents do you need to make an offer?
The certificate of tradition and freedom issued within the last thirty days, the property tax receipt and, for horizontal property, the HOA clearance certificate. For distressed cases we also need whatever court or bank paperwork exists.
Do you take investors into your deals?
We invest our own capital and occasionally co-invest with people we already work with. If that is your interest rather than selling a property, write to us and say so.
