Who We Are
Highly qualified and motivated professionals
Hi, I’m Marinda — pharmacist by training, real estate investor by obsession, and the founder of Riptide Ventures, where faith, compassion, and a little ocean‑energy collide. After 30 years in pharmacy, I realized I’d mastered the art of fixing problems… so naturally, I decided to start fixing houses too.
These days, instead of counting pills, I’m counting properties, opportunities, and the number of times people ask, “Wait… how did you go from pharmacy to real estate?” The short answer: God nudged, I listened, and the riptide pulled me exactly where I was meant to go.
Riptide Ventures is my way of helping homeowners who feel like life has swept their feet out from under them. Just like a real riptide, tough situations can pull you off course — but they can also carry you somewhere better. I step in with solutions, compassion, and a steady hand so families can find calmer waters and fresh starts.
I’m a female founder with a big heart, a bigger mission, and a brand that unapologetically leans into ocean vibes. Whether I’m helping a homeowner out of a tough spot or breathing new life into a neglected property, I’m here to rebuild communities one wave at a time.
If you’re looking for someone who blends faith, grit, and a little saltwater spirit into everything she does — welcome to my shore.
Matthew Howard
I’m a Texas‑born real estate investor with deep roots, big faith, and a calling to help families find solid ground when life’s currents get rough. I’ve had a front‑row seat to the powerhouse who built Riptide Ventures — my mom — and now I’m honored to work side by side with her. She’s taught me how to navigate tough tides, read the currents, and show up for homeowners with honesty and heart. I believe God doesn’t just open doors — sometimes he sends a riptide to pull you exactly where you’re meant to go. With fresh energy and a steady compass, I’m stepping into our family mission to help families move from stormy waters to solid shore. Whether I’m walking a property, meeting a homeowner, or learning the ropes of the business, my goal is simple: bring calm, clarity, and hope to every situation, guiding people from turbulent waters to brighter shores.
