Nathan Richter, REALTOR, Haupt Phaneuf Real Estate Team

Nathan Richter

REALTOR® in St. Albert. Restoration, building and sales: that is Nathan's road, over two decades of fixing homes, putting them up and selling them. He is the first person a recruit talks to. Ask him how a past repair changes a price, or how an investor should read rents and vacancy.

Nathan's profile

Dane Phaneuf, Team Lead, Haupt Phaneuf Real Estate Team

Dane Phaneuf

Co-founder and team lead, partnered with Mathew, for the team's southwest work. Before real estate he owned a small business. Dane is driven, closes well and negotiates with care, the agent you want across the table when a deal gets tight and someone newer agents want to learn from. He works homes in Windermere, Terwillegar, Riverbend and Heritage Valley plus investment and commercial files, and is a 2025 and 2026 eXp ICON Agent.

Why the southwest is a good place to learn

The 67 southwest communities we track recorded 4,442 closed sales in the 12 months to October 31, 2026. Housing ranges from 1970s condos to brand new streets in Keswick and Heritage Valley, so a single area teaches resale pricing, condo documents and builder contracts. Community numbers are on our southwest Edmonton market page.

Kinds of files you can learn on this team

  • Southwest resale. Schools, recent sales and the streets buyers ask about, community by community.
  • Builds, lots and acreage. New construction, lots and land around the city, Mathew's side of the business.
  • Investment property. Rentals, suites and small multi-family, where Nathan and Dane both work.
  • Commercial. Mathew, Dane and Stephanie Richter handle the team's commercial files; ask about it on your call.

What the team puts in writing

  • Coaching and mentorship from Mathew Haupt and Dane Phaneuf.
  • Lead rotation: a turn at buyer and seller enquiries from EdmontonRealtor.ca and HauptRealty.com. No volume or income is promised.
  • Sierra CRM seat of your own.
  • AI and content tools the team uses.

Our team agreement sets the team split and these commitments, and we read it with you first. One limit: the team does not sponsor outside teams that plan to stay independent.

The Wolf Pack: an Alberta sponsor line, Calgary to Edmonton

On eXp, the sponsor you name decides your group. Calgary eXp agent Mike Sherrard sponsored Mathew, so agents who name Mathew join the Wolf Pack that Mike leads with Connor Steinbrook. That keeps the line in Alberta: Mike in Calgary, and Nathan, Dane and Mathew here in Edmonton, all working under RECA rules and CAD fees. Mike coaches agents on social media and AI; his YouTube channel credits him with The Social Agent Academy and The A.I. Agent Accelerator. Inside the group, according to agentwolfpack.com:

  • Social Agent Academy Pro for video, branding and lead funnels.
  • The A.I. Agent Accelerator with GPT coaches and a listing launch playbook.
  • A private Hub with onboarding, business planning and CRM training.
  • Five live calls a week and a free members-only Skool community.

The group says there are no extra splits or fees to belong. Mike Sherrard is not on our team and does not endorse it. Programs, the call schedule and more videos are in the Wolf Pack guide on HauptRealty.com.

Moving your licence, start to finish

  1. Call Nathan, then meet Dane and Mathew.
  2. Read the eXp Independent Contractor Agreement and our team agreement.
  3. Apply to eXp and enter Mathew Haupt in the sponsor field. eXp Canada fixes a sponsor later only for entry or clerical errors.
  4. Tell your broker in writing and hand eXp's broker your myRECA username.
  5. Finish in myRECA: eXp's broker opens the transfer, you complete your part, and it is final once the fee is paid. Try not to move in September; RECA has warned that a transfer then voids a renewal you already paid.
  6. Switch your ads to eXp right away, as RECA rules require, and start onboarding.

Questions about a southwest Edmonton career

Who do I talk to first about joining?

Nathan Richter, at 780-721-0181. After that you meet Dane Phaneuf and Mathew Haupt. Send the contact form and Nathan, Dane and Mathew all see your message; Nathan will usually reach out first. Every conversation is confidential.

Do I need to live in southwest Edmonton?

No. This page is about the southwest, but team agents work across Edmonton, St. Albert and the surrounding towns and counties.

Which brokerage holds my licence?

eXp Realty. Everyone on the Haupt Phaneuf Real Estate Team is licensed with eXp Realty in Alberta.

Whose name goes in the eXp sponsor field?

Mathew Haupt. Mike Sherrard sponsored Mathew, so naming Mathew puts you in the Wolf Pack group. Get it right the first time; eXp Canada changes a sponsor only for entry or clerical errors.

Is the Wolf Pack sponsor line based in Alberta?

Yes. Mike Sherrard, who leads the Wolf Pack, works from Calgary, and the team you join is in Edmonton. Name Mathew Haupt as your sponsor to join that line.

Is there a fee to be in the Wolf Pack?

According to the Wolf Pack, no. You pay eXp's published split and fees, and the team split set out in the team agreement.

Will I get leads?

You get a place in the rotation for enquiries from EdmontonRealtor.ca and HauptRealty.com. The team does not promise a number of leads or any income.

I am still writing my RECA exams. Is it too early?

No. You need a licence to trade, but planning your start now makes your first months smoother. Ask us whether eXp's Mentor Program applies to you.

Can I learn commercial or land deals?

Yes. Mathew, Dane and Stephanie Richter work the commercial files, and Mathew leads land, acreage and new build work.

What happens to my current listings when I move?

Listing agreements belong to your current brokerage. They move only if that brokerage agrees, so talk to your broker before discussing a move with clients.

Does the team bring in independent teams?

No. The team does not sponsor outside teams that want to stay independent. Agents who join become part of Haupt Phaneuf.
