Laure-Anne Evrard

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.

ACCOUNT 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.

Gatien Bienfait

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.

With a master's degree in management from ICHEC, Diane has worked as a sales representative for various international groups.

Her career in the real estate sector began over 10 years ago working for a real estate technical expert office.
After these initial assignments, Diane gave a new impetus to her career by placing her talents at the service of a renowned Swiss real estate agency in the luxury residential department, before obtaining USPI (Union Suisse des Professionnels de l'Immobilier) certification and becoming a broker in the Lausanne area for the sale of all types of residential property.
After 5 years of real estate experience in Switzerland, she moved back to Belgium.

Joining BuyerSide was an obvious choice for her, because of her highly relational profile and her interest in human and commercial contacts, which are perfectly in line with the relationships BuyerSide maintains with its customers.
