Our Team

Troy & Marddi Rahn

Founders

We’ve been married for over 20 years, and together we’ve raised five wonderful adult children, welcomed two sons-in-law, a soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and are now enjoying the blessing of our first grandson. For over 25 years, we have built careers in the holistic health and wellness field, helping people heal, grow, and thrive. Serving others has always been at the heart of what we do. Now, in this season of life, we feel called to expand that mission into real estate investing. Our approach is shaped by a holistic mindset—we look beyond the property to the people, their challenges, and their goals. We’re passionate about creating solutions that bring peace of mind and opportunities for families, while leaving a lasting Kingdom impact through our work.
