LIVERIA International Realty has been ranked in the Global Elite Awards Top 100 for 2026, extending a multi-year run of recognition that now spans four consecutive award cycles and confirms the firm’s position among the most distinguished luxury property advisory houses working with ultra-high-net-worth clients internationally. The Top 100 selection identifies the hundred most exceptional companies from the wider 2026 cohort, judged by an international panel against the same editorial standards applied at winner level, and refined further to isolate the houses considered category-defining rather than category-competent.
LIVERIA International Realty and a Four-Year Trajectory of Global Elite Recognition
The Top 100 placement for 2026 sits on top of an unusually consistent editorial record. LIVERIA International Realty was first recognised by the Global Elite Awards in 2024, when the firm was honoured as the Leading International Luxury Real Estate Agency. The 2025 cycle saw the house named the Leading International Real Estate Agency for Luxury Off-Market Properties, and in the 2026 cycle the firm was recognised as the Leading International Luxury Property Advisory Firm for UHNWI. Being ranked in the Global Elite Awards Top 100 for 2026 is the natural next step in that trajectory. It is the additional layer of distinction the programme reserves for the small group of houses whose work has, over successive years, earned the highest tier of independent review.
Very few firms in the international luxury real estate category hold this kind of continuous editorial record. The Top 100 recognition confirms that LIVERIA International Realty is no longer being read only as an outstanding regional operator, but as one of the reference houses for the entire international ultra-prime advisory category.
What LIVERIA International Realty Does
LIVERIA International Realty is an internationally structured luxury property advisory firm operating at the ultra-prime end of the real estate market. The house works almost exclusively with ultra-high-net-worth clients, family offices, and private investors, and focuses on off-market transactions across a curated list of jurisdictions. Its principal footprint spans the United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, and select European markets, with an execution network that reaches into the Indian Ocean, the Gulf, the Mediterranean, and beyond.
The firm’s operating model is not that of a traditional brokerage. LIVERIA International Realty presents itself as an advisor first, tasked with understanding a client’s wider holding strategy before any property is sourced, and structuring each transaction so that it aligns with the client’s tax residency, corporate vehicles, and long-term intentions. Off-market sourcing sits at the centre of that model, because the most valuable transactions in ultra-prime property are, in practice, rarely those that appear on a public listing. The house’s ability to open those channels, on both the buy side and the sell side, is one of the assets that has drawn repeated recognition from the Global Elite Awards panel.
A Founder-Led Firm
LIVERIA International Realty is led by Valeria Ivic, whose editorial profile and interview record inside the Global Elite Awards archive have grown alongside the firm’s own trajectory. The founder’s understanding of how UHNWI clients actually move between jurisdictions, how they hold property in trust and corporate structures, and how they expect their advisors to conduct themselves, is what shapes the firm’s tone with every mandate. Clients describe the relationship as more comparable to working with a private-banking or family-office counterpart than with a brokerage. The Global Elite Awards jury has repeatedly noted this quality in its written notes on the house.
The founder-led model also explains why the firm has resisted the temptation to scale on volume. LIVERIA International Realty maintains a deliberately limited roster of active mandates at any given time, and the sourcing standard applied to a new client is high enough that a majority of introductions do not convert to instruction. That editorial discipline in the client roster is unusual in the wider luxury real estate category, and it is a large part of why the firm has now been ranked among the Global Elite Awards Top 100 for 2026.
Cross-Border Discretion as an Operating Model
The most technically demanding part of luxury international real estate is not the transaction itself. It is the structuring, the jurisdictional handling, and the confidentiality discipline that surrounds it. LIVERIA International Realty operates natively across the tax and legal frameworks of the markets it advises in, with a working knowledge of the corporate, trust, and residency instruments that ultra-high-net-worth clients depend on. Cross-border discretion is not a marketing phrase for the house. It is a set of concrete operating procedures around information handling, counterparty screening, and communications that are visible to the client from the first meeting.
This is also why LIVERIA International Realty is one of the very few names in its category that appear both in family-office referral lists and in international private-banking counterparties’ internal referral networks. Discretion of this quality cannot be produced retroactively. It is either designed into the firm’s operating model from the beginning, or it never quite lands with the calibre of client the ultra-prime category requires. In LIVERIA International Realty, the Global Elite Awards panel has repeatedly recognised a house that has clearly made this choice from the outset.
Geographic Reach and Market Position
The firm’s active markets currently include Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, the Mediterranean coast, and select European gateway cities where UHNWI demand for privacy and long-term holding has structurally moved off market. Each of these markets is served by senior advisors with meaningful local records, and each is connected internally so that a client working with LIVERIA International Realty in one jurisdiction has straightforward access to the firm’s coverage of another. The federated structure keeps the client experience personal at the point of contact while giving each mandate access to the wider international infrastructure of the house.
The 2026 recognition, and now the Top 100 ranking, both explicitly frame LIVERIA International Realty as an international firm rather than a national one. That framing is important. In a category where many competitors are effectively single-market brokerages with an international-sounding name, LIVERIA International Realty is one of the few that operates as a genuinely cross-jurisdictional advisor at the ultra-prime end of the market.
What the Top 100 Recognition Signals
Being ranked in the Global Elite Awards Top 100 for 2026 is a distinct editorial statement from the underlying winner recognition. The winner title identifies LIVERIA International Realty as the leading firm within its specific category. The Top 100 ranking places the house within a smaller group of companies from across all categories that the Global Elite Awards jury regards as the most exceptional cohort of the 2026 cycle overall. For clients, partners, and the international press, the recognition is a shorthand statement that the firm has cleared not one but two independent editorial thresholds inside the same programme, at the highest tier the programme issues.
For LIVERIA International Realty specifically, this ranking is expected to strengthen the firm’s positioning across referral networks in private banking, family offices, wealth advisory, and the broader UHNWI ecosystem. It is also the point in the firm’s trajectory at which the house transitions, in the wider category conversation, from a highly regarded independent to a reference name for international luxury property advisory as a whole.
