The story behind the brand
The name “Oabitat” embodies the essence of what the agency strives to offer clients — a harmonious blend of emotional comfort and practical living.
The term is a fusion of two words: Oasis and Habitat. An Oasis represents the emotional side of buying real estate, a place one can finally call home after a long search. It is a space of peace and solace. Habitat, on the other hand, covers the practical aspects of a property — the environment that provides a fulfilling life, including nature, climate, work conditions, and cultural orientation.
David Schielke, born in Germany, spent his childhood in Europe but always felt drawn to another place. During university and time abroad, he discovered Rio de Janeiro. As a result, he fell deeply in love with the city and the Brazilian way of life.
After traveling the world, he finally found his Oasis and Habitat — a place where all elements of a satisfying life came together: Rio de Janeiro.
Having personally navigated the challenges and bureaucracy of buying property in a foreign country, he decided to turn this experience into a mission. Therefore, he helps others find their own Oasis and Habitat in Rio.
The team understands the unique needs of clients and works tirelessly to find the perfect home. Moreover, the agency takes pride in being the right partner to fulfill real estate dreams.
With a commitment to excellence and personalized service, Oabitat stands out as the ideal choice for anyone seeking luxury real estate in Rio de Janeiro.

Testimonials
What our guests and property owners say about us speaks louder than anything we could write ourselves. Here's a glimpse of the trust, satisfaction, and experiences that define Oabitat.
Posted on Muinat ShokunbiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really enjoyed our stay at Oabitat's flat in Leblon! We had a spectacular view of Christ the Redeemer over the Lagoon on the top floor. The apartment was modern, clean and nicely furnished in a safe location in Leblon with the beach and lots of shops within walking distance. Our hosts (especially Mari, who was our main host) were super responsive to all of our needs and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do in Rio during our stay. Overall, it was a very pleasurable experience and we would highly recommend everyone to book a stay at this apartment - you won't regret it!!!!Posted on Alvaro PlascenciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am amazed with the friendly service I received at this beautiful Airbnb. Located in the safest neighborhood, walking distance to Ipanema, and MULTIPLE bars/restaurants/clubs. Mari and David made us feel like FAMILY! I actually have family that doesn't treat me as well as they did. I am grateful to have met them and to have been able to stay at this Airbnb. Next time I am in Rio I will make sure to book with them again. Very spacious and beautiful place, 24/7 workers in the front providing protection and peace of mind. Thanks again guys! 100/10 !Posted on Eduardo FerreiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Foi realmente incrível! Desde a simpatia, presteza e educação ao responder nossos questionamentos, até a gentileza e carinho ao facilitar tudo em nossa chegada, pois os hóspedes eram estrangeiros. O lugar então, excelente! Tudo limpo, organizado, impecável! Agradecemos muito! Todos adoraram! 5 estrelas em absolutamente todos os aspectos!Posted on Aloisio WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passamos dias incríveis no apartamento em Leblon durante nossas férias no Rio. A localização é excelente – bem pertinho da praia e com uma vista linda para o mar. O apartamento é muito bem cuidado, confortável e decorado com bom gosto. A estrutura do prédio também é ótima: portaria 24 horas e a possibilidade de deixar as malas tanto antes do check-in quanto depois do check-out. A Mari, que administra o apartamento, é super simpática e atenciosa – assim como o David e toda a equipe. Recomendadíssimo!Posted on Kelly ThorntonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the view and accommodations!Posted on Samuel GradessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing place to stay. Less than a five-minute walk to the beach, surrounded by restaurants, accessible by the metro, and a balcony/pool that really created a vacation feel. I hope to come back!Posted on Ulrich RungeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Man fühlte sich wie zu Hause, alles, was wir brauchten war in der Nähe, Metro, Banken, Bars, Restaurants, der Strand. Der etwas höhere Preis war sicherlich durch Sylvester bedingt, da sind alle Unterkünfte teurer. Sehr schön war auch die Aussicht vom oberen Balkon, wo man sowohl das Meer als auch Christo Redemptor gesehen hat.Posted on DJ King RoofTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazingggggg place! The view was so good. Absolutely will stay again when I am in town. The host Mari is the best. The owner David is great as well. They made me feel at home for sure. They very helpful and friendly.Posted on Luciane Bellettato RecheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adoramos o apto. Vista linda para a lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, localização ótima ao lado do Shopping Leblon, tudo limpo e bem decorado. Voltaremos com certeza! Nota 10!
