The Founder Behind Living in YYC

Strategic. Relationship-driven. Built differently.

I believe real estate should feel clear, strategic, and guided — not overwhelming.

Charmaine Richter didn’t start in real estate.

She built her career in luxury hospitality — where expectations are high, details matter, and service isn’t just expected… it’s remembered.

For over 20 years, Charmaine led sales and marketing at some of Western Canada’s top resort properties, helping transform brands, elevate positioning, and drive measurable growth. She wasn’t just part of the team — she was behind the strategy that made properties stand out in competitive markets.

That experience shapes everything she does today.



Living in YYC was created to bring that same level of intention, strategy, and client experience into real estate.

Because buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction — it’s a major life decision. And it deserves more than a standard approach.



Charmaine works with clients who value clarity, preparation, and a thoughtful process.


Her approach is structured but never rigid. Strategic, but always personal.

No pressure. No noise. Just honest guidance, strong positioning, and a clear path forward.

This is real estate, curated differently.
