Francisco Valdivia

Francisco Valdivia is the License Partner of Engel & Völkers Costa, covering Zapallar and Cachagua, Chile’s most exclusive second-home destinations. For generations, these seaside communities have been a retreat for Chilean families of heritage, and The New York Times recently likened Zapallar to the Hamptons and the French Riviera.

With a background in business and an MBA, Francisco built a successful 15-year corporate career scaling and developing new businesses before entering real estate in 2023. Francisco and his team manage a boutique, off-market portfolio that gives clients access to the area’s best properties.

For Francisco, it all starts with listening. He puts the client at the center and takes the time to understand what they truly need, because a home on this coast is a long-term lifestyle choice. From there, always with discretion, he finds the best fit and builds a relationship that lasts well beyond the closing.

Francisco would be glad to tell you more about Zapallar and Cachagua and the investment opportunities the area offers.
