In just a few short months, LIVERIA has quickly risen to the top of the luxury real estate market, making waves both in Mauritius and internationally. Today, we sit down with the driving force behind this success, Valeria Ivic, the Founder and Managing Director of LIVERIA, to discuss her vision, challenges, and the remarkable achievements that have set her company apart.
A Bold New Vision for Luxury Real Estate
Interviewer: Valeria, LIVERIA is relatively new, but the company has already made a significant impact in the luxury real estate world. Can you tell us about what inspired you to launch LIVERIA, and how things have progressed since the launch?
Valeria Ivic:
Absolutely! LIVERIA officially launched about five months ago, and what inspired me was the opportunity to craft a boutique real estate firm that truly caters to the needs of UHNWI. I wanted to go beyond traditional real estate and offer exclusive, off-market properties that appeal to discerning clients. From the moment we launched, our aim was not just to sell properties but to curate high-value investments in prime locations.
It’s been an exciting journey since then, and the progress has exceeded my expectations. The market in Mauritius is competitive, but we’ve positioned ourselves as the go-to firm for luxury buyers, and we’re now expanding to Dubai and London as well.
Shaping a Global Clientele
Interviewer: You’ve mentioned that LIVERIA serves a very specific clientele—can you tell us more about how you cater to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and what makes your approach unique?
Valeria Ivic:
Our clients come from a variety of regions, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and German-speaking countries. They demand privacy, exclusivity, and access to very special properties, and that’s exactly what we deliver. We work closely with them to identify investment opportunities that align with their portfolio goals. It’s not just about the properties; it’s about building lasting relationships based on trust and understanding of the market.
Expanding Internationally: Dubai and London
Interviewer: Your company has grown beyond Mauritius, with expansions into Dubai and London. How has the international growth impacted LIVERIA’s strategy?
Valeria Ivic:
The expansion has been a key part of our long-term strategy. We’ve always aimed to offer a global portfolio, and these two markets—Dubai and London—are essential for that vision. Dubai is a booming hub for luxury real estate, especially for our Mauritian and European clients and London remains a prime investment destination, particularly for our clients from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
With our main operations established in Mauritius, we are now better equipped to serve a global clientele, offering them access to exclusive properties and personalized investment advice. Our recent Property Investment Event for Dubai Properties in Mauritius and upcoming events are evidence of how seriously we take this global approach.
The Challenges and Triumphs
Interviewer: Every business faces challenges, especially in its early days. What challenges did LIVERIA face, and how did you overcome them?
Valeria Ivic:
One of the biggest challenges was establishing our unique identity in the luxury real estate market, where competition is fierce. We’ve always focused on staying one step ahead of our competitors, thinking outside the box and offering something truly distinctive to our clients.
We don’t limit ourselves to traditional methods. Instead, we follow strategies that many would consider unconventional—approaches that people might not think are possible, but we make them happen. This has been a cornerstone of our success and allows us to stand out in the market.
Additionally, our diverse team has been crucial to our growth. Each team member brings a unique perspective and skill set, adding different layers of value to the company. This diversity has shaped LIVERIA into what it is today, allowing us to innovate and push boundaries that others might shy away from.
By embracing these challenges and using them as opportunities to set ourselves apart, we’ve been able to grow rapidly while maintaining the highest standards of service for our clients.
What’s Next for LIVERIA?
Interviewer: What are the future plans for LIVERIA? How do you see the company evolving over the next few years?
Valeria Ivic:
Our focus in the coming years is to reinforce our presence in the key markets of Mauritius, Dubai, and London while actively exploring new regions that offer strong opportunities for luxury real estate investments. These three locations are foundational to our strategy, but we’re constantly identifying other high-potential markets where we can offer our expertise and exclusive property portfolio.
Beyond geographical growth, we’re also keen on expanding our team. We’re looking to bring on board more like-minded professionals who share our vision for delivering unmatched service and who are excited by the challenge of working in this dynamic, high-end sector. We believe that building a strong, diverse team is crucial to supporting our global ambitions.
Innovation is another key part of our future. As we expand, we’re committed to staying on the cutting edge—whether that’s adopting new technologies, leveraging data to offer personalized investment opportunities, or exploring new ways to connect with our clients. Our goal is to continually elevate the client experience, making sure we remain at the forefront of the luxury real estate industry, no matter where we operate.
Final Thoughts from the Founder
Interviewer: Any final words you’d like to share with your clients and readers?
Valeria Ivic:
I want to thank all of our clients, partners, and the entire LIVERIA team for their trust and support. LIVERIA’s success is a team effort, and we wouldn’t be here without the hard work of every individual involved. We look forward to continuing this journey and reaching new heights together!
