Testimonials
It was a real pleasure working with Jacqueline and the team at S-Invest, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them. S-invest was very diligent and methodical in its marketing of our property in Slovenia. Their extensive knowledge and understanding of the market were invaluable, particularly given the fact that the property had several issues which were not easy to overcome. We really can’t thank them enough for producing an outstanding result, for both, us and the group that acquired the property, who will undoubtedly also be pleased with the outcome ! We believe that a win-win transaction is always a good thing. Well done and thank you to Jacqueline and the S-Invest team!

“I have been working with real estate agencies in Slovenia for decades. Certainly, no other agency has such a large network of clients as S-Invest. This, of course, allows you to select only qualified tenants and not waste a minute of your time. Other services and employees of the company are on the highest possible professional level.”

“Jacqueline Stuart was our contact at Slovenia Invest when Norkring was looking for office location in Ljubljana. I was left with the experience of a professional and efficient service which was very helpful and led to a good solution for us. I appreciate quick responses and solutions, and Jacqueline definitely met my expectations.”

“I rent out four offices. First I was advertising them by myself. Probably I was a bit clumsy with it. My offices remained vacant. During the advertising, a couple of real estate agencies offered their services which did not come up with results. After started working with S-Invest everything changed. I started offering all offices together. Viewings started, but for many potential tenants, space was either too big or too small. S-Invest suggested we should start offering individual offices. That is how we managed to rent all four offices one by one. After the first contract with a tenant, we realized that S-Invest has the best interest of a side which pays the commission. Of course a contract can’t be signed without a mutual agreement of both sides.”
Sebastijan Piskar
“We have successfully worked with company S-Invest in 2016 and at the end of the year successfully sold our property. We were very happy with real estate agent from S-Invest Nataša Čas. She was very proactive and had the best interest of both parties to close the deal. Her personal engagement is something we did not see with other real estate agencies.
In our case, the deal took a year to close due to certain circumstances of our tenant. During the whole process, Nataša Čas was very professional and nice. It meant a lot to us that she was very responsive, accessible, she paid attention to all the details during the whole process, and her communication with our future tenant and us was very professional, experienced and calm. Certain areas of the deal where our future tenant and us had different opinions on were communicated calmly and with positive vision also because of her successful way of forwarding information and her professionalism. Her hearty, calm and stable commitment was priceless to us.
When the deal was signed, handover in multiple steps followed. Ms. Nataša Čas was always present with honest interest for the property and good mood of both parties. Now we can happily write that even after a closed deal, between S-Invest and us remains something that was built through the whole process and can not measured in material value or time frames: good relationship and trust. In all of our future business with our real estate, we will with a lot of trust work with S-Invest and recommend them to everyone who wants to do business with their real estate.”

”We have been working with Slovenia Invest since we acquired 3 office buildings in Ljubljana, in September 2016. They are hard working, proactive, and work to the highest levels of professionalism and ethics. Slovenia Invest has been responsible for some important lease disposals in our buildings, to both local and international tenants. We worked together with Slovenia Invest on a bespoke marketing campaign, which was well thought out, expertly executed, and effective. The team at Slovenia Invest are true experts in the Ljubljana office market, and their advice and knowledge has been invaluable to us. Nataša and Nela, the two office brokers, are a pleasure to work with – always good humored even in stressful situations. I recommend the company to any other investors.”

“Slovenia Invest has great knowledge about the real estate market in Slovenia and abroad. It brings us new views and approaches to known questions in the real estate world. Whether it is marketing of a historical building in old town in Ljubljana, marketing modern office space or preparing a strategy for a real estate investor entering a real estate project – in all cases, we were treated in a competent and professional way. Creativity, operability, and business-mind is definitely what Jacqueline and her team are known for.”
Jorg Kosler
IMMOREAL d.o.o
“We engaged S-Invest in August 2015 to sell a Class A office building in central Ljubljana. Under normal circumstances we would only engage international firms for disposals of this kind, but because this property is in a small, illiquid market with no global advisors present, we chose a local company that had been responsible for some important lease disposals in the building.
We appreciated many things about the service and results delivered by S-Invest. The company has unrivalled knowledge about the commercial real estate market in Slovenia. The info memo and marketing materials were well thought out and professionally produced. The company carried out a thorough wide-reaching marketing campaign, reaching out not only to all office investors in CEE, but also to brokers and influencers. The transaction was complicated by unforeseen circumstances, but Jacqueline Stuart and the broker team remained calm, and patiently worked through the issues, reassuring all stakeholders that the problems could be resolved.
The sales contract was signed in December 2017, and the deal closed in April 2018.
We appreciated the integrity, professionalism, hard work and dedication of Jacqueline Stuart and the broker team; we enjoyed working with them and would not hesitate to engage them again.
I would not hesitate to recommend S-Invest to anyone who needs transaction advice for commercial property in Slovenia.”

“I was very happy to work and cooperate with real estate agents from S-Invest. The trust that we established during the cooperation was remarkable, which is reflected in the total achieved result, 100% occupancy of Mega Center Ljubljana 1, Verovškova 55, SI 1000 Ljubljana for and on behalf of the owner (Austrian Bank) of a property. Thank you for your trust, acceptance and cooperation.”
Boštjan Žohar

“The main advantage of your work is active brokerage, which, in my opinion means understanding the deal, and is not limited to dry advertising on the Internet and other media, but on a personal presentation. This means a lot of engagement and preparation. I would also like to thank you for your high level of activity and precision at work, especially in real estate transactions where the amounts are high and both are crucial.”
Marko Adžaga
Realitas d.o.o.
“After a few years we have successfully concluded a sale of a tourist property with the help of S-Invest. Jacqueline was very persistent and determined that we will find the right buyer.

We had excellent cooperation from the point of view of extremely quick responses, clarity in perception of legal, economic, technical issues in bankruptcy proceedings, and excellent appraisal reports, which without exception withstood criticism.”
