Latin American real estate has to move.

I’m Rodrigo Peralta, a Chilean proptech entrepreneur. I’m building the two pieces to make it happen: Quinta Casa, which brings technology to the most illiquid asset in Latin America, Single Family Rental (SFR), and Smarty, the infrastructure that verticalizes the transaction between real estate developers and brokers.

Housing is Latin America’s biggest store of wealth, and it moves far too slowly

In Latin America, a home is a family’s most important investment. But selling a resale property can take months, real prices are hard to know, and the down payment shuts many buyers out.

An asset that trades slowly doesn’t attract capital, and a market without capital doesn’t grow. To get the region’s real estate moving, three things have to be solved at once.

  • Liquidity

    Selling a resale home should take weeks, not months, without selling at a loss.

  • Information

    Everyone should know what a property is worth from data, not gut feeling.

  • Financing

    The down payment should stop being the barrier between a family and its first home.

Two pieces to get it moving

Quinta Casa brings the asset and the capital. Smarty brings the infrastructure to trade it, connecting every property with the brokers and buyers who close the sale.

The numbers behind the thesis

Chile is becoming a country of renters, while housing remains hard to buy and slow to sell. In that gap, residential rental can become an investable asset.

In the U.S., a single company owns more than 86,000 rental homes. In Latin America, resale-home rental is not yet organized as an institutional asset at that scale. That is the opportunity Quinta Casa wants to unlock.

The next asset class to unlock in Latin America

In the U.S., resale housing became an institutional asset: funds buy, renovate, rent and sell homes at scale. In Latin America that market still works one property at a time, without structure or professional capital.

Quinta Casa organizes that market into three verticals, so capital can enter resale housing in a structured way and properties sell faster.

  • Flipping Fund

    Buy, renovate and sell

    We buy resale homes below market value, renovate them to the Quinta Casa standard and sell them. Investors share in the spread, and our acquisition engine spots the opportunities.

  • Financing Funds

    Capital for what banks don’t cover

    We finance the buyer’s down payment: up to 15% in up to 60 installments. It’s the key that lets more families buy, and an income-producing asset for whoever provides the capital.

  • Consignment

    Sell faster and better

    Owners leave their property with us: we enhance it, renovate it, show it to more than 200 brokers and offer it with the down payment financed so it sells faster.

Smarty

The infrastructure that brings assets and the transaction together

Assets sit on one side: developer projects, resale homes, rentals, Quinta Casa’s inventory. The transaction happens on the other: in a broker’s WhatsApp, in a quote, in a meeting.

Smarty is the layer that joins them. Brokers see live inventory, send quotes with financing under their own brand, and manage every lead to close, from one platform instead of eight.
