Buying a Home?

Whether you're just beginning your search or you’re ready to make an offer, buying a home is a big step — and we’re here to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

At Pooley Realty Group, we work with buyers throughout  Midcoast and Central Maine to find homes that truly fit — whether it’s a quiet spot in the woods, a historic in-town property, or something with a view of the water. We take the time to understand your goals and walk you through the process with clarity and care.

From connecting you with trusted local lenders to helping you navigate offers, inspections, and closing day, we’re here to guide — never pressure. You’ll get real insight, local knowledge, and a team who genuinely has your back.

Whether it’s your first home or your next one, let’s make it a great move.

What to Expect When Buying a Home

We believe the buying process should feel less like guesswork and more like a guided path — with people you trust beside you the whole way. Here’s what the journey typically looks like when you work with us:

1. Let’s Talk Goals

We start with a simple conversation. What are you looking for? What’s your budget, your ideal timeline, and your must-haves vs nice-to-haves? Whether you’re local or moving to the area, this is where we get aligned.

2. Get Pre-Approved

We’ll connect you with trusted local lenders (or work with one you already love) to help you get pre-approved. This step gives you a clear price range and strengthens your offer when the right home comes along.

3. Start the Search

With your criteria in hand, we’ll help you explore homes in  across Maine — including new listings, off-market opportunities, and hidden gems you might miss online. We'll schedule showings, offer honest feedback, and keep your search focused.

4. Make an Offer

When you find “the one,” we’ll guide you through writing a smart, competitive offer based on local market conditions. We'll explain contingencies, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure you're protected every step of the way.

 5. Due Diligence & Inspections

Once your offer is accepted, we help coordinate inspections, appraisal, and paperwork. This is where our experience shines — we know what to look for and how to navigate surprises.

6. Close the Deal

We work with your lender, title company, and the sellers’ agent to keep everything moving on track. You’ll know what to expect on closing day — and we’ll be right there with you when the keys are handed over.

 7. Move In & Get Settled

 Our support doesn’t stop at closing. Need contractor recommendations? Want local tips or a good place to grab dinner after your move? We’re always just a message away.
