Inside the Vision and Drive of LIVERIA’s Valeria Ivic and Heidi Ayoub
In the world of luxury real estate, true distinction is rare. But for Valeria Ivic, founder of LIVERIA – International Realty, and Executive Director Heidi Ayoub, excellence isn’t a goal; it’s a baseline.
Since launching just over a year ago, LIVERIA – International Realty has quickly carved out a space as a boutique international real estate agency representing high-value residential properties across Mauritius, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London, Switzerland, and Montenegro. Its strength lies in prime listings and the team’s ability to understand its clients’ long-term vision and deliver tailored investment strategies with discretion and precision.
At the core of that culture are two women with relentless standards, global experience, and a shared instinct for navigating complexity with clarity.
A Vision Rooted in Precision and People
Valeria launched LIVERIA with a clear objective: to bridge the gap between transactional property agencies and strategic real estate advisory firms. Drawing from a background in marketing and leadership roles within global real estate networks, she shaped LIVERIA into an agile, data-driven firm focused on the people behind the purchase.
“I wanted to create a space where clients feel genuinely understood,” Valeria explains. “It’s about life plans, family dynamics, international structures, and financial goals. Our job is to make sure all those pieces align.”
That mindset has been foundational in attracting international clients, from first-time buyers relocating to Mauritius to seasoned investors expanding their offshore portfolios.
Together, they’ve built something rare: an agency where performance matters, but people matter more.
With a Global Clientele and Local Precision
Since joining as Executive Director, Heidi Ayoub has brought strength and clarity to LIVERIA’s operations, supporting the agency’s expansion while staying grounded in what matters most:t relationships. With a deep understanding of cross-border transactions and years of experience advising international clients, Heidi leads the Mauritius team with structure and heart.
Working with clients from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, she ensures that every interaction feels personal and considered. It’s not just about selling property. It’s about understanding a family’s next chapter, a long-term investment strategy, or a relocation dream. She listens carefully, advises thoughtfully, and always puts the client’s interest first.
High Expectations, No Excuses
The bar at LIVERIA is high. But it’s not about hustle culture or vanity metrics,it’s about delivering.
“Results speak,” Valeria says. “You don’t need gimmicks or noise. What matters is: did the client feel taken care of? Did we close the deal under the right structure? Did we see around corners before they did?”
The agency thrives on performance but also trust. Internal accountability is non-negotiable. Deadlines are respected. Client follow-up is immediate. Knowledge is shared, not hoarded.
“It’s simple,” Heidi adds. “If you’re not 100% aligned with the level of service we promise, this isn’t your place.”
Global Reach, Boutique Feel
Though headquartered in Mauritius, LIVERIA is anything but insular. With clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Africa, the agency operates like a private office with select collaborators in each market and a growing international reputation for its off-market offering and wealth-management approach to real estate.
In recent years, LIVERIA partnered with legal firms, tax consultants, and family offices to provide a complete property journey from selection and structuring to closing and post-sale support.
“We’re not chasing volume,” Valeria says. “We’re building a brand that people return to whenever they want to make a serious move.”
A Culture Rooted in Trust
Valeria and Heidi lead by staying close to the people they serve. They don’t just manage the business. They build bonds—real ones—with their clients. They take the time to understand motivations, concerns, and personal goals. They’re present when it matters, not to push for a signature, but to reassure, explain, and make sure every decision feels right.
“There’s a moment in every transaction where trust becomes more important than anything else,” Heidi says. “That’s where we choose to stay.”
At LIVERIA, property consulting is not about sales. It’s about guidance. It’s about offering clarity in unfamiliar territory. And most of all, it’s about making clients feel they are in safe hands because they are.
One Year In and Just Getting Started
Marking its first anniversary, LIVERIA has already proven that it can punch well above its weight. With a client-first mindset, lean structure, and international strategy, the agency is now entering its next chapter—scaling smartly while holding firm to its founding principles.
“We built this business from scratch with no shortcuts,” Valeria says. “And that’s exactly how we intend to scale it carefully, intelligently, and without compromising who we are.”
At LIVERIA, the formula is clear: work hard, stay sharp, be honest, and never lower the bar.
