We always have each other's support when performing the most challenging of property valuations so that YOU can rest assured in your final product.

Meet your Agent,
Katie Levitas
Growing up as a Florida native, I experienced firsthand the excitement of finding a new place to call home. Throughout my childhood, my family moved several times and those early experiences sparked a deep appreciation for real estate that never faded. Eventually this led me to obtain my Florida real estate license, turning a lifelong passion into a career. I love connecting with people and guiding them through one of the most significant decisions of their lives, and there's nothing more rewarding than doing that alongside my family here at Maris Appraisals.
Why get an Appraisal?
Whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, or settling an estate, a professional appraisal gives you an independent, unbiased opinion of a property's market value. Without one, you risk overpaying, underpricing, or making major financial decisions based on guesswork. A certified appraisal protects your investment, satisfies lender requirements, and gives you the confidence to move forward.

Prepare for your Inspection
Getting ready for an appraisal inspection doesn't have to be stressful. A little preparation can go a long way toward ensuring your home is presented in its best light and that the appraiser has everything they need to complete an accurate assessment. From tidying up curb appeal to listing recent renovations, small efforts can unlock the full potential of your property. We've put together a comprehensive Appraisal Inspection Checklist that walks you through every step — so nothing gets overlooked before inspection day.
