Thinking About Moving to Chile?

We Didn’t Just Research Chile. We Moved Here.

We moved to Chile in 2013 looking for a new beginning. More than 13 years later, Chile is home. Along the way we have raised a family here, bought property, built businesses, homesteaded, lived off-grid, and helped other foreigners navigate the realities of relocating to Chile.

Chile Expat Family grew out of that experience. Our goal is simple: share what we have learned—the good, the bad, the surprising, and sometimes the downright difficult—so you can make better-informed decisions about whether Chile is right for you.

Looking for Property in Chile?

Buying rural property in Chile is very different from buying property in the United States. There is no MLS, buyer representation works differently, and understanding access, utilities, water, agricultural classification, title issues, and local market conditions can make an enormous difference.

Jim has worked in real estate since 1991 as a broker, certified general appraiser, developer, and agricultural-property specialist. Today Chile Expat Family helps buyers from Temuco south to Punta Arenas, with a particular focus on the Los Lagos and Aysén regions.
