About this episode

Lukas Kerrebijn shares his journey from a 19-year-old intern to a successful real estate entrepreneur with over $750 million in sales.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Lukas Kerrebijn, co-founder of RD Dubai, RD Vastgoed, and RD Advisory, to unpack how he went from a 19-year-old intern in Dutch real estate to helping drive more than $750 million in sales before turning 30. Lukas shares the story of his first deal, why he told a seller he was 25 when he was really 19, and how one property viewing with seven investors became the proof point for an entirely new business model. He also explains why Dutch regulatory changes pushed him toward Dubai, how sponsorships in kickboxing, football, and Formula One helped build RD Dubai’s brand, and why his long-term mission is bigger than real estate: building sports complexes and wellness projects that create opportunity for children in Africa.
