About Us
Tijn Strikker
CEO - Casa Capital
I’m Tijn Strikker, and I’ve been an entrepreneur on Amazon for the past five years. Five years ago, I was an account manager with a regular job, but after a year of hard work, I realized that I couldn’t see myself working as an employee for the rest of my life.
I decided to quit my job and start my own business. During this period, I also completed a part-time Master’s in Digital Business at the University of Amsterdam, where I wrote a thesis about Amazon.
The main reason why I decided to quit my job was because I wanted to work from any other location in the world.
Entrepreneurship on Amazon
In 2019, many Dutch entrepreneurs were focused on selling on BOL. I decided to take a different path, believing that greater success could be achieved by doing something unique. This led me to start selling on Amazon in Germany. I was among the first to sell online on Amazon. As my product business grew, I expanded to BOL, where I’ve been selling for four years, with some products ranking number one in the algorithm.
In 2020, when Amazon announced its arrival in the Netherlands, I seized the opportunity and went all-in, working six to seven days a week during the lockdown. A year later, in 2021, my partner and I launched an Amazon Marketing agency amidst the COVID-19 crisis. In our first year, we wrote over 300 product listings and helped 100 clients with Amazon advertising. With two years of experience, we successfully boosted the presence of major companies like Philips on Amazon.
Now, in 2024, we have built one of the biggest online ecommerce communities in The Netherlands and helped more than 500+ entrepreneurs that wanted to start an online business.
Real Estate
Over the years, I’ve put in a lot of hard work and gained invaluable experience. While many people can earn money, few truly know how to manage and grow it effectively. This understanding motivated me to diversify my investments, starting with real estate in Amsterdam. Over time, I developed a passion for the industry.
After building a solid foundation, I decided to take the next step and move to Alicante with my girlfriend, where we purchased our second property in Torrevieja. My girlfriend, with over 10 years of experience managing the cleaning of homes and offices for more than 300 recurring clients in Amsterdam, and I decided to combine our expertise in real estate, cleaning, and online marketing to start a new venture in Spain.
Now, I am eager to help others navigate their own investment journeys and achieve their financial goals.
Living Together in Spain
Living in Spain provided me with valuable insight of the local property market. I took the initiative to learn Spanish, enabling me to communicate effectively with clients, local authorities, and service providers.
I have lived in Costa Blanca and explored the whole area from the north in Javea, Denia and Altea to the south in Torrevieja and Punta Prima. My conclusion is that all these places are beautiful locations to live but the most opportunities are in the southern region of Costa Blanca. The prices for good quality houses are still lower around Torrevieja and thats why we decided to invest here in an apartment and we would like to help many other people make this dream come true.
What are the biggest benefits of living or having a house in Spain?
Living in Spain
When I started living in Spain I knew this would become my next goal: create a successful company to help others with finding their vacation homes of their dreams.
