His broad geographical focus keeps him highly receptive to the diversity of client requirments and he is able to offer property solutions that align with their goals, mapping a clear route to market while balancing financial interests with personal needs and acquisition strategy with execution.

Jakob’s career began in business development across real estate and software, where he worked closely with a global roster of affluent clients and institutional stakeholders.

Originally from Denmark, he brings a strong academic foundation in economics, reflected in his measured, analytical approach to real estate advisory. Now based in Dubai, he has built a track record of multi-million-dollar transactions across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, operating within some of the region’s most exclusive residential markets. 

He works closely with asset and portfolio holders to identify, source and acquire rare off-market opportunities, offering clients a crucial competitive advantage in their search for the ideal property.

Central to Jakob’s approach is a clear focus on continuity of service throughout the transaction lifecycle and beyond. In a saturated and ever-evolving landscape of real estate investment, Jakob represents an immutable presence, opening the doors to some of the world’s most sought-after properties.
