Maximilien Verschaffel
Senior ACCOUNT MANAGER
Maximilien Studied International Business Management at Artevelde Hogeschool in Ghent. His studies led him to Taiwan where he did an exchange and later to Madrid for an internship at Flanders Investment and Trade at the Belgian embassy in Spain.
He started his career in February 2018 as an analyst for Daimler-Mercedes Benz in Madrid at the department of financial services.
After nearly three years abroad he decided to come back home in Belgium to start his career he had always dreamed of. He joined the BuyerSide team in May 2020.
His interest for real estate started at a young age. Within his family this grew over generations and it did not skip the last one. During his studies he did various internships in different real estate agencies in Flanders. After graduating he obtained a post graduate certificate in practical aspects of real estate at the KU Leuven.
Maximilien speaks Dutch, French, English and Spanish.
Laure-Anne Evrard
ACCOUNT MANAGER
Laure-Anne, originally from Liège, has a law degree. She began her studies in Namur and went on to complete a Master's degree at ULB, graduating with distinction.
A fierce desire to broaden her horizons and a six-month stay at the University of Cordoba in Andalusia completed her university training in Spanish.
With a strong focus on human relations and active listening, she divided her early years between youth work as a youth leader and high-level sport.
This period forged her fighting spirit and her determination to go all the way in every activity she undertook.
But it was also thanks to a family history of real estate and inheritance that, at a very young age, Laure-Anne bought a property through a property finder, which gave her a vision of the business from the buyer's point of view. This powerful experience convinced her to take the plunge and join the BuyerSide team, to share her experience and, above all, to put her skills at the service of the team and its customers.
Alexandra Zoppé
ACCOUNT & OFFICE MANAGER
Alexandra recently completed her real estate agent training at EFP.
During her 3 years of studies, she worked at Latour&Petit real estate agency which allowed her to acquire the necessary skills and experience, as well as a thorough knowledge of the residential market.
Her thirst for learning and her taste for new things led her to BuyerSide.
Indeed, her attraction for human contact and her perpetual desire to achieve her goals are major assets in the search for properties corresponding to her clients' criteria.
Alexandra is cheerful, spontaneous, organized and likes to do things well.
Outside of the office, Alexandra is a jack of all trades: piano, tennis, swimming and youth movements. Currently, you are more likely to run into her on the golf course.
Alexandra speaks French and English.
Gatien Bienfait
INVESTMENT ANALYST
Gatien began his career on the road to the EU, studying European studies at Maastricht University and holding various positions in the European Youth Parliament.
Following a desire for a change of horizon, it was quite natural that he turned to a first professional experience close to the world of real estate as a sales representative responsible for office rentals in a coworking space in Montgomery. During this period, Gatien took two parallel courses at ICHEC: Sales & Account Management and the Executive Master in Management.
Committed, enthusiastic and interested in everything and everyone, he is involved in various scouting projects and other youth movements, as well as in several sporting activities such as golf, field hockey, soccer and tennis.
It was with this enthusiasm and interest in the real estate sector that he decided to join the BuyerSide team in September 2023.
Gatien speaks French, Dutch and English.
