Meet Ted Arnoldus

Ted is a Personal Property Advisor whose career and outlook have been shaped by a life spanning continents and cultures. Raised in Dieren, Holland in a traditional, loving family, Ted learned early on what makes a house a home—love, reliability, and genuine care. His approach is uniquely hands-on and rooted in direct experience: from serving in the army and running a transport business in Europe, to building a real estate company in Egypt with his family. Ted’s global perspective, cultivated through living and working among diverse peoples, translates into a service philosophy based on trust, respect, and a deeply personal connection with every client. Whether guiding a buyer to a beachfront retreat or structuring a complex hospitality investment, Ted is valued for his openness, reliability, and authentic dedication to client success.

A Foundation of Character

Shaped by both his Dutch roots and the experience of raising children in two cultures—and across vastly different worlds—Ted brings humility, discipline, and adaptability to every advisory relationship. His father’s consistent work ethic and his mother’s ability to create a true home instilled in him a lasting appreciation for trust and authenticity. Today, Ted lives these values by always doing what he promises and treating everyone with unwavering respect—qualities clients notice from their very first interaction.

Defining Life Moments

Ted’s worldview was forever changed by immersing himself in life as a resident—rather than a tourist—in countries far from home. Experiencing daily routines, local customs, and new perspectives opened his eyes to deeper understanding and real opportunity. Navigating life between Holland and Egypt, surrounded by family, has further broadened Ted’s empathy and drive to help others find the security and joy of a true home, no matter where they settle.

A Day in the Red Sea Region

A perfect day for Ted starts with an invigorating swim—whether in the sea or the pool, taking full advantage of Egypt’s endless sunshine. A leisurely lunch, savoring flavors sourced from the Nile’s lush green valley, is followed by diving or snorkeling trips along vibrant reefs and afternoons spent discovering Luxor’s timeless temples. Evenings often conclude in a local restaurant, sampling dishes infused with the essence of Egyptian hospitality. Each day is a celebration of natural beauty, ancient culture, and connections made over fresh food and laughter.

Professional Insight and Ethical Grounding

Ted’s education is the world itself—refined through service, entrepreneurship, and decades of practical engagement. He transitioned from the rigors of logistics and transport to founding a real estate and property management platform in Egypt, developing a full-service approach where discipline and directness anchor every client relationship. Ted’s role as a member of El Gouna’s Rotary Club underscores his professional network and ethical commitment. He is known for direct communication, honest advice, and always keeping his word.

Clients and Services

Ted’s clients are as international as his journey—from Europeans, Americans, and Asians to local Egyptian and Middle Eastern buyers, spanning budgets from entry-level to eight-figure investments. With five years in Egypt’s property market, he offers bespoke discovery tours, due diligence, negotiation, and transaction support, as well as a robust suite of services through Djayzen.com. These include hotel management, touristic concierge, property management, tailored travel arrangements, and even hospitality platform integration for investor clients. Each service is meticulously curated and delivered with a personal touch, resulting in a client base that returns for guidance time and again.

Why Personal Property Advisory Matters

Ted believes that the heart of property advisory is a deeply personal approach—far beyond simply completing a sale. His mission is to ensure clients are never lost, but instead empowered and informed, able to find time and value in each decision. This means advocating for transparent advice, efficient investment strategies, and prudent guidance tailored precisely to each client’s financial and lifestyle ambitions.

What Clients Say

Ted’s clients repeatedly express gratitude for his honesty, reliability, and the value-added personal support he and his wife deliver—from airport pickup to finalized deal. Many are surprised at the efficiency and transparency of the process, noting that Ted’s insight and local connections not only secured the right property, but also exceeded expectations in service, price, and aftercare. “We felt at home from the very first day,” is a phrase he often hears—a testament to his method and integrity.

Insider Knowledge of Egypt

Ted encourages clients to discover the true Egypt—beyond iconic pyramids and the Red Sea coastline. He guides newcomers to hidden mountain trails, lush Nile valley fields, and the ethereal salt lakes of Siwa, inviting them to embrace the deeper character and richness that makes Egypt unique. These insider encounters transform a property search into a memorable, culturally immersive experience.

When I’m Not Advising Buyers...

Ted draws energy from exploring Luxor’s archaeological wonders and spiritual sites, dining with local farmers, and sharing Egypt’s bounty with family and friends. These moments of connection and discovery fuel his positivity and resilience, sustaining his commitment to each new client journey.
