We're Marcellus Heath and Dr. Maia Martinez-Heath — a real estate team built on relationships that compound, not transactions that close and disappear. Northeast Florida's coast, guided with care.
Our differentiator isn't a marketing line — it's a marriage. One of us practices medicine. One of us practices real estate. Together, we understand relocation from both sides of it.
"I moved across the country for a fellowship not knowing a single street name. I still practice medicine part-time today — I remember exactly what made that transition feel steady instead of overwhelming."
Every year, Jacksonville welcomes new physicians, residents, and fellows who need to find a home, understand a new market, and settle a family — often on a compressed timeline and with no local network.
We built our niche around that exact moment. Maia still practices part-time as a physician at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville alongside leading our real estate business, so this isn't a secondhand understanding of hospital life — she's living the dual schedule of clinical shifts and closings in real time.
If you're a physician, resident, or fellow moving to Northeast Florida, this is the team that speaks your schedule, your timeline, and your world fluently.
The Heath Group is built around a simple belief: real estate done well is relationship work first, transaction work second.
Marcellus built his foundation in community relations and player development for the NBA's Boston Celtics — work centered on trust, discretion, and building relationships that last. He carries that same standard into real estate: success isn't measured at closing, it's measured by the lasting difference made in a client's life. As a relocation specialist, he guides physicians, executives, and families relocating to Northeast Florida — often from out of state, on a compressed timeline.
Maia trained at Mayo Clinic and holds a background in mechanical engineering — a combination that makes her a natural, creative problem-solver. She still practices part-time at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville alongside co-leading The Heath Group, giving her a firsthand, ongoing understanding of what it takes to relocate for a demanding medical career.
We'd rather do right by fewer families and earn the next conversation than chase every deal in the market. That's not a slogan — it's how we structure our business, our follow-up, and our time.
We start by listening — your timeline, your priorities, and what "the right move" actually looks like for your family or your practice.
Pricing, positioning, and process — explained plainly, with no pressure tactics. You'll always know why we're recommending what we're recommending.
Proactive updates, not radio silence. You'll hear from us before you have to wonder what's happening.
From Ponte Vedra Beach's golf courses and pink-sand shoreline to Atlantic Beach and the greater Jacksonville metro, this is the coastline we know block by block.
Read our local guide, Living in Ponte Vedra — neighborhoods, beaches, and the real cost of living in Ponte Vedra Beach, written by Marcellus Heath, relocation specialist at The Heath Group.
Marcellus was hands-on at every step — showing up for inspections and repair meetings, managing buyer communication, and guiding the sale through to a smooth close.
After a previous agent had done little to sell their home, Marcellus and Maia came in with real market analysis and a fresh strategy — and got it sold once the market picked back up.
"One of the best real estate agents I ever worked with... honest and gets results very quickly."
Marcellus and Maia's communication, punctuality, and professionalism stood out from day one through closing — a seller who plans to use them for every future transaction.
Sourced from The Heath Group's Google Business reviews — paraphrased for length, with one short direct quote from Bobby's review.
