Jakobs Private Estate & Asset Management

Independent engineering expertise, electrical & building systems oversight, and discreet household governance for private residences, coastal estates, and luxury assets.

Technical Owner's Representation & Private Residence Governance

Where Engineering Precision Meets Private Service Culture

Modern private residences, historical estates, and motor yachts combine high-level living comfort with sophisticated technical infrastructure. Maintaining their long-term value requires both a deep understanding of complex building systems and an uncompromising commitment to privacy, etiquette, and household harmony.

Our practice unites two disciplines under one roof: the technical depth of a State-Certified Electrical Engineer (Germany) and international Asset Integrity Specialist (API / FROSIO Level 3 / AMPP Level 3), paired with formal executive training in Private Service & Residence Governance (The International Butler Academy – TIBA).

We support private owners, Family Offices, and existing estate teams as a dedicated technical partner—ensuring that complex technology, structural preservation, and daily residence operations work together seamlessly in the background.
