Maximilien Verschaffel
ACCOUNT MANAGER

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.

Laure-Anne Evrard
ACCOUNT MANAGER
Laure-Anne, of Liège origin, holds a law degree. It’s in Namur that she starts her studies and continues her Master’s degree at the ULB that she passes with distinction.
A fierce desire to broaden her horizons brought her to a six-month stay at the University of Cordoba in Andalusia where she completes her university education in Spanish.
Very focused on human relations and active listening, she shares her young years between youth movements as an animator and high-level sport.
This period forged a strong character and the will to go all the way in whichever activity she undertakes.
But it is also thanks to a family history very focused on real estate and the transmission of heritage that, very young, Laure-Anne becomes property owner through the intermediary of a property searcher, who gave her the vision of being on the side of the buyer. This very strong experience decided her to take the step and join the BuyerSide team in order to share her experience and above all to put her skills at the service of the team and its customers.
Alexandra Zoppé
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.
Alexandra speaks French and English.
Diane Sury
Account Manager
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 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.
