About Us
We are family-owned business rooted in the heart of St. Augustine, Florida. For us, real estate isn't just a profession — it's a legacy. Josh is a third-generation appraiser who grew up surrounded by the craft, learning firsthand the dedication and precision it takes to deliver a report clients can truly rely on. After serving his country in the military, Josh brought that same discipline and commitment to Maris Appraisals, where he takes genuine pride in connecting with every client and giving each report the time and care it deserves.
Katie's passion for real estate runs just as deep. From a lifelong love of homes and design, to hands-on experience renovating houses, she has spent years developing an eye for what makes a property special. She is an invaluable part of the Maris team and the driving force behind our agent referral program.
Together, Josh and Katie built Maris Appraisals on the belief that every customer deserves honest, accurate, and personal service — the kind that only a family business truly delivers.
