The QPAREB is glad to announce the re-election of Marc Lacasse as President and Sylvie Blouin as Vice President of the QPAREB’s Board of Directors.

Marc Lacasse has over 15 years of experience in the real estate industry, including nine years as a broker.

He is beginning a new one-year term as President of the Association.

With 22 years of real estate experience, including nine years as an agency owner, Sylvie Blouin was elected to the QPAREB Board of Directors in 2019, where she served on the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Professional Practices Committee. She has also been a member of the Board of Directors of the Collège de l’immobilier du Québec for five years. Previously, she served for two years on the Board of Directors of the GMREB. She is beginning a new one-year term as Vice President.

Furthermore, Mathieu Cousineau was re-elected as President and Antoine Halabi was elected Vice President of Centris’ Board of Directors.

Mathieu Cousineau has more than 12 years of experience as a real estate broker, more than 5 years as an agency executive officer and less than a year as vice president of professional practices of the OACIQ.

He has advanced knowledge and is interested in technological tools and wants to keep bringing his fresh perspective to the future of real estate brokerage in Quebec. 

Antoine Halabi has 14 years of experience as a real estate broker and 9 years as an agency executive. Recognized by his colleagues as a hard-working, rigorous, and professional leader, he has served as a member of the Board of Directors, the Professional Practice Committee and as a member and president of the GMREB’s Audit Committee in 2018. Antoine Halabi also has over 27 years of cumulative entrepreneurial experience. He has participated in task forces for the enhancement of products and services, provided to brokers, by the GMREB or Centris.

Finally, Daniel Dagenais and André Charbonneau were re-elected as President and Vice President of the Collège de l’immobilier du Québec’s Board of Directors.

Daniel Dagenais, General Manager for Sotheby’s International Realty Québec, has extensive experience as a member of various boards of directors related to the real estate industry. He has served at several times since 2009 on the Board of the Greater Montreal Real Estate Board, which he also presided over from 2015 to 2017, as well as presiding over the board of Centris Inc. from 2016 to 2018. He has also served on the boards of the Canadian Real Estate Association, the Québec Federation of Real Estate Boards and, more recently, the QPAREB.
