There are very few real estate agencies in Mauritius founded by someone with deep roots in both the Swiss and Mauritian markets. LIVERIA is one of them — and that matters for Swiss and DACH-region clients more than any brochure credential.
Where LIVERIA Comes From
LIVERIA International Realty was founded in May 2024 by Valeria Ivic. Before founding LIVERIA, Valeria spent over seven years in Mauritius luxury real estate — first as an International Sales Associate at RE/MAX 24 Mauritius, then as Owner and Director of Engel & Völkers Mauritius, which she operated under the franchise entity Angel Realty Ltd in Grand Baie.
Before her time in real estate, Valeria worked as a trustee at AQUIDE AG Unternehmensberatung in Volketswil, Switzerland, advising high-net-worth clients on accounting, tax structuring, and financial planning. She holds a Kaufmann EFZ qualification from Switzerland and a Real Estate Management diploma from the WISS Schulen für Wirtschaft Informatik Immobilien in Zürich.
This dual background — Swiss financial rigour and Mauritian market depth — is precisely what LIVERIA offers its clients.
What This Means for Swiss Buyers
When a Swiss client approaches LIVERIA, they’re not working with an agency that needs to Google the Swiss tax framework or ask basic questions about pillar 2 pensions. They’re working with a founder who:
- Understands Swiss banking and tax structures from professional experience
- Speaks German natively and English fluently
- Has spent over a decade in Mauritius and knows its legal, notarial, and regulatory landscape inside out
- Has built a network of Swiss-qualified advisors who can coordinate cross-border tax planning alongside the property purchase
The Switzerland–Mauritius Connection
Swiss nationals are among the most active foreign buyers in Mauritius, and for good reason:
- Switzerland and Mauritius have a double taxation treaty — pension income structuring needs to be done correctly, and the treaty provisions are not always straightforward
- Swiss banking clients often want to transfer funds from Swiss accounts — the December 2024 rule requiring 85% in Mauritius Rupees needs advance planning and the right banking contacts
- Swiss buyers typically want transparency, precision, and a written process — which is LIVERIA’s default, not a special request
- Many Swiss families looking at Mauritius are comparing it with Portugal, Dubai, or Malta — LIVERIA can give an honest, unbiased comparison because we operate across multiple markets
LIVERIA’s Recognition
LIVERIA has been recognised independently for its work:
- Luxury Lifestyle Award 2024 — Leading Luxury Real Estate Agency, Mauritius
- Global Elite Award 2025 — Leading International Real Estate Agency for Luxury Off-Market Properties, Mauritius
- Top 100 Companies Worldwide
A Note on Language
LIVERIA serves clients in German, English, French, and Croatian. For Swiss German-speaking clients, this matters — the nuances of Swiss real estate and financial concepts translate better in the mother tongue, and Valeria brings that naturally to every conversation.
