With a warm yet refined manner, Ruth and her team of experts deliver an elevated real estate experience that’s as enjoyable as it is effective.

Born into an entrepreneurial family and having owned and operated her own business, one might say that attention to detail, customer service, and people skills are in Kirsten’s DNA. With an innate passion for Interior Design, Kirsten is known for creating elegant and timeless interiors that reflect her client’s specific tastes and luxurious lifestyles.
Having spent years as Principal Project Manager and lead Interior Designer of a full-service Interior Design and Construction firm here in YYC, Kirsten specialized in transforming interiors, extensive renovations, and luxury custom home builds.
Passionate about the industry and grateful for the creative projects and her amazing clientele, Kirsten made the decision to expand on her love of homes and enter into the world of Real Estate. With both her drive and experience, she inherently knew she could flourish by leveraging her knowledge and skills to better assist both buyers and sellers.
Kirsten strongly believes that your home is your sanctuary and understands that a home is more than just a place to hang your hat… it’s where you make long-lasting memories.
Kirsten is committed to taking the time and extreme care in understanding her clients and their goals when it comes to buying or selling. Her caring and compassionate character make her a true RARE agent for all your real estate needs.
When not busy showing beautiful homes, Kirsten’s ‘favourites’ include:
kids: 2 grown that she’s convinced will never leave home | pets: fur baby named Dexter | love: her Peloton | food: anything farm to table | drink: full-body red | color: pink | heels or sneakers: both | music: country | favorite song: “let it be” by the Beatles
With a background in design and years of experience running my own business, I’ve built a sharp eye for aesthetics, functionality, and potential. These skills naturally translate into real estate, where I help clients not only see a home for what it is, but also for what it can become. A home is more than walls and finishes; it’s the backdrop to a client’s lifestyle, and I love helping people see both its beauty and its possibilities.
Having lived in and around Cochrane and Calgary for over 15 years, and now calling Bragg Creek home, I know this market inside and out. My approach is strategic, detail oriented, and people focused. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to make the process seamless, informed, and truly enjoyable.
I chose Rare because I want to collaborate with like-minded, strong women who challenge each other to grow and succeed. Rare is a leader in the luxury market, and aligning with this caliber of professionals allows me to offer my clients elevated service, stronger market reach, and a refined experience that matches their goals. Just as importantly, I believe in surrounding myself with people who inspire me to continually raise the bar, both in business and in the way I serve my clients.
Real estate isn’t just about finding a property. It’s about finding the right space for your life. I’d love to help you discover the home that truly fits you, whether it’s your forever place or a diamond in the rough ready to be transformed.
Selena Rios is a born-and-raised Calgarian whose deep local roots give her an intuitive understanding of the city’s neighbourhoods, communities, and the unique feeling each one offers. With a sharp eye for detail, a warm and genuine energy, and an unwavering client-first mindset, Selena has quickly distinguished herself as a trusted guide for buyers and sellers across Calgary and surrounding areas.
Within her first year in real estate, Selena consistently surpassed monthly goals and achieved remarkable early success, completing multiple transactions while representing both buyers and sellers with professionalism and confidence. Her dedication and work ethic have made her a standout talent from the very beginning, and you can often find her out in the community hosting open houses and connecting face-to-face with potential buyers.

Born and raised in Jamaica, Wendie Maclean brings warmth, resilience, and a deep sense of community into everything she does. Growing up in a culture rooted in connection and hospitality shaped the way she approaches her work, relationships first, always. For the past 14 years, Calgary has been home, where she has thoughtfully built her life and career in a city that values opportunity, growth, and long term investment.
Wendie’s path into real estate was intentional. Before becoming a licensed REALTOR®, she spent four years working on the conveyancing side of the business, gaining in depth experience with contracts, compliance, and the critical details that protect clients at every stage of a transaction. That foundation provides a distinct advantage. She understands not only how to negotiate strategically, but how to structure transactions with precision and guide them through seamlessly.
She believes real estate is more than buying and selling. It is about legacy, wealth preservation, and creating space for the life you envision. Whether representing a sophisticated inner city residence, a distinctive estate property, or guiding a family into their next chapter, Wendie approaches every opportunity with composure, discretion, and a strategic mindset.
Aligned with an established, high performing team, Wendie delivers elevated service supported by experience, market insight, and refined marketing execution. She is known for her attention to detail, thoughtful positioning, and her ability to navigate Calgary’s evolving market with confidence and clarity.
For Wendie, this work is deeply personal. Helping clients secure the right property is not simply a transaction. It is about protecting their investment, honoring their goals, and ensuring they move forward with certainty and peace of mind.
